I have always hated 'winner takes all'.

All finalists should get something. It would make contesttants try harder to get into the final.

£100k is too much for the first prize. I suggest splitting something like this:

Winner: £70k (as it used to be)
Runner-up: £15k
Other finalists: £5k (x 3)

Thus the total prize money pot remains at £100k, with the winner getting 70% of it but not all.
