Everyone gets one chance to win their fortune. They stay until they play. The daily player chooses one of the 22 sealed boxes. No one knows what it contains. One by one the player opens all the other boxes, revealing the amounts within. All the while this gives them a better idea what prize may be contained in their own sealed box. Enter the Banker! Periodically, the player will receive a telephone call from the 'Banker'. The Banker is always watching the player, trying to analyse their psychology, and has has no idea what the contestant's sealed box contains. The Banker's sole purpose is to try and ensure the player leaves the studio with the smallest amount of money possible. Based on the amounts of money the player has eliminated and their perception of the player themselves, the Banker makes a cash offer to buy the mystery box. Whenever The Banker makes an offer, the player is left with a desperate dilemma... take the offer, or risk losing everything!
Noel Edmonds, who rose to fame after 30 years presenting shows from Top of the Pops to Noel's House Party said of his new role in 2006, "I've always maintained that it would take something very special to tempt me back to TV after 5 years and this format is undoubtedly unique. Deal Or No Deal is simple, honest and totally compelling and I am privileged to have the opportunity to host such a brilliant show." |
