I'd say Mel was fairly new to it all compared to someone like Davina. So when we've seen Davina do it and then Mel, it doesn't seem as good as it could be...


In reality she's been in the game as long as Davina, yet Mel's jobs have always been solo, and with only a crew, as opposed to infront of the audience.

Many elements of that show aren't right, such as the graphics. The titles are so nice, yet the on screen elements seem so rubbish in comparison.
The music's ok I suppose, could be better though.

The set looks like it's made of sand, infact the whole show; set, music and graphics in terms of colour schemes and sound are very egyptian like. The only nice bit about the set is the Vault itself, all nice and silver and shiny, and the fireworks when someone wins big!

And of course the name was stolen from the Disney Channel who also ran a game, first on 'One Saturday Morning', a live Saturday Morning Strand and then every weekday on Disney Channel Live and Studio Disney called the Vault that Disney Channel had to stop doing, I can only presume that the Disney Channel didn't copyright the name for the game, and itv then did.

How about BIG MOIRA ??

The name should appear in font colour dark red, and size large. Sorry the urges to correct you were too strong, but I've resisted the urge to write it in the correct format.

Interesting how the show has changed since the 1st series though.

Didn't I read that Vernon Kay was going to take over from Mel - or was that another Itv show?

Pray to god I'm not dreaming about him. Shocked

Apparently Vernon is taking Mel's place as presenter of "Celebrities Under Pressure".

If it helps, The Vault is based on an Israeli Montreux winning format called, you guessed it, The Vault.

It's still completely unfair that the studio finalist has a much tougher challenge than the home finalist.

PS: Telephone brokers - they worked better last night, but I don't see why they can't just have one set for the whole show.

No. of contestants. I has increased to 9 this year. Last year it was 8, and when Davina did it just 7.

They did try The Bill about 10 years or so ago on Saturday nights, back in the days of the thrice weekly half hour slots(correct me if I'm wrong !), but it didn't last long, so I doubt The Bill itself would move!

MIT was alright though!

I've just found out its Gabby Logan taking over from Melanie Sykes on The Vault.

Heard on Teletext, interesting choice, a good presenter IMO, but someone who isn't associated with game shows, but I guess it's worth a try. Though when I read it on Teletext the article was about her turning down a nudie shoot with Kirsty Gallacher. Evil or Very Mad

One interesting thing I did last Tuesday was that I watched some classic videos on Sky channel 456, then I watched the ITV1 gameshow with Melanie Sykes from 8, then I flicked over to Nation 217 and watched the game where you have to pick which of 150 doors houses the top prize...

(For those who don't get it, I watched The Vault, The Vault and The Vault)

And yet as I pointed out Disney had to stop using the name, yet others are still using it. Evil or Very Mad
