Deal Or No Deal (British Game Show)
''Deal or No Deal'' is a British game show, hosted by Noel Edmonds, which aired from 31 October 2005 to 23 December 2016 on Channel 4. Based on the original Netherlands format of the game show, each episode sees a contestant choosing one of 22 boxes, each containing a cash amount between 1p to £250,000, and then attempting to win as much as possible either by gambling on having a high amount in their chosen box, or making the game's hidden operator, named "the Banker", offer a considerable cash sum for their box regardless of what is inside.

Games always end with the player opening all of the boxes, including their own, regardless of how they inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
