Deal or No Deal UK

Deal or no Deal UK is a successful game show that began airing at the 31st of October 2005. The show is presented by Noel Edmonds and it usually begins at 4:15 PM and ends at 5:00 PM on weekdays. Although, there are some several exceptions to these times when it is a holiday and other special events occurring. It may last for 45 minutes but show producers have cut some parts out to make it 45 minutes.

Contestants can win money ranging from 1p and £250,000. The exceptions were in Christmas and the Deal or No Deal UK’s 500th game show, when the top prize was a staggering £500,000. The game is played by 22 identical, sealed red boxes, numbered from 1-22. The boxes are sealed by a independent adjudicator, and no-one else knows what they contain, not even Noel Edmonds or the Banker. Noel Edmonds usually begins with the same welcome and gives a very brief description of the game at the start.

Noel claims he is choosing a player at random, but this is never actually true and the producers have actually already choose the player who is going to sit on the “Crazy Chair.” Once a contestant is chosen, they take their box which is from 1-22, and they walk to the seat and confirm that they selected their box at random.

There are a total of six rounds, you eliminate 5 boxes in the first, and 3 in the next five rounds. Every round, the Banker will start ringing and make a offer to the contestant. Usually the offer is used to try and tempt the player out of the chair. The player then decides to say Deal, or no Deal. Quite obviously, dealing means you accept the cash and you can take it and carry on to see how you would finish. If you no deal, you carry onto the next round and the process repeats again.

After a gruelling six rounds, there will only be two boxes left. If the Banker makes an offer and you refuse it, then Noel will open your box and that will be your prize money. However, in some cases the Banker may offer a swap which means swapping with the other box. This can prove to be a disastrous situation or a amazing situation. One player swapped their £100,000 box for a measly £1,000 box, which left them on the verge of tears. All in all, this game is quite simply pure luck. Every box you take has no logic to it, but this can be a exciting game to watch, especially when the contestant earns huge cash.
