Deal or No Deal Card Game

Product Information

According to the yoghurt manufacturer which signed up to sponsor the programme in 2010, the show's viewers over-index heavily on over-45-year-old empty-nesters looking for a healthy balanced lifestyle. Whatever that means. There's also been an increasing emphasis on gambling in the show, with both Noel and the banker clearly showing a preference for gamblers, and Noel constantly going on about "courage" (which in his book seems to mean ignoring the odds and pressing on to the end regardless). This probably does increase the show's appeal to, well, people whom gambling appeals to, but it might be questioned whether this kind of none-too-subtle endorsement is really suitable for 4.15pm, and indeed whether it really makes for a more exciting show anyway.

The game show participants comprise the host Noel Edmonds, the unseen character of the Banker, the main contestant playing that day's game, the other 21 contestants, and a studio audience. Audience members are commonly asked for opinions on whether the contestant should "Deal or No Deal". Episodes of Deal or No Deal were pre-recorded. The show was broadcast mid afternoon (usually 4pm) six days a week throughout the year (with a month long break in July/August that was ultimately dropped in 2012). Sunday editions ceased broadcast on 17 October 2014. While Deal or No Deal had a standard theme for most of the year, it also broadcast several special episodes usually themed to particular events or national public holidays such as Christmas and Easter. These were stopped before the filming of the 2015 episodes due to Channel 4 Racing misinforming the show of when they would broadcast, resulting in the programme not knowing when their episodes would actually air. Consequently, "Double Trouble" specials substituted the regular specials, in which two people play the game. These games were not in sequence with the regular show.

On several occasions the Banker's voice can be heard. He has been heard laughing maniacally, blowing kisses and imitating Basil Brush. Contestants have described his voice as sounding like "a dirty phone call", old and sexy, rather like well spoken deep voiced fellow contestant Lance and "the Scream man". Edmonds has often imitated the Banker's voice in a deep Churchillian tone. Short utterances or other audio from the Banker's end of the phone call can occasionally be heard by the viewer. The Observer interviewed Edmonds in relation to the show on 29 January 2006, quoting Edmonds as saying that his scenes with the Banker bring out his "inner actor". He revealed his passion for the show and his admiration for the individual community spirit within it, as well as his (later fulfilled) ambition that it would eventually hold a Saturday evening prime time slot.

The Offer Button becomes available after the opening five boxes are selected. To be able to make use of it during their game, the contestant must correctly guess, within a margin of 10%, the banker's opening offer. The Banker's offer is written and sealed in a capsule and sent to the studio before the contestant guesses the amount. [10] On special themed shows, the contestant additionally wins a holiday if their guess is within the margin. [11] Top prize winners [ edit ] From September 2014, it turns out that a twenty-third box was not enough to keep viewers interested, so another addition to the format was introduced called the "Offer Button" where after the first five boxes were opened, the contestant must guess within a margin of 10% what the banker's offer is. If they guess correctly, the button comes into play and they can press it at any stage during the game to get an offer from the banker regardless of how many boxes are opened in a particular round and the button can only be used once. On 1 January 2014, a new feature, "Box 23" was introduced. At the end of a game, the contestant is asked if they want to buy Box 23 for the amount already won on the show. The box contains one of five cards: For a two-week period starting on 10 October 2011, live episodes of the show were broadcast in place of the routine pre-recorded episodes. [ citation needed]

One of these had been made into a screenshot that Gorman had made look like Jesus. I guess you had to be there. It was Brian Conley who presented the first run-through of the show, before Edmonds presented a run-through and then a pilot. Les Dennis was also in the frame before Edmonds said he'd do it. Conley told the Manchester Evening News that he missed out because Channel 4 and Endemol disagreed on the direction the show should take, saying that "Endemol wanted it to be like the French version, which was a lot more fun and light-hearted and not quite as serious as it has become." Chris Evans was also offered the job (or at least a place on the shortlist) but told the Daily Mail in January 2010, "I turned it down because it’s not clever enough for me. I still don’t understand why people like it."
