In a style reminiscent of Deal or No Deal, four contestants answer questions to open vaults in a giant safe. Whoever earns the most money from the vaults will advance to a grand final at the end of the week, where their earned money will be placed in a jackpot that will go to the winner.[1]
Metro's Christopher Hooton gave The Bank Job a scathing review, commenting that it was "just Deal or No Deal with added George Lamb and questions", and that despite its title, there were no elements evoking the feel of a Hollywood heist at all, "unless Ocean's Fourteen involves George Clooney answering questions about Pirates of the Caribbean in a Next cardigan whilst squealing with delight."[1]
