22 people, 22 sealed boxes with 22 different cash prizes, and no questions but one, deal or no deal? The last time I saw BAFTA and National Television Award nominated Noel Edmonds was probably with the awful Mr. Blobby, but this "return" is a really good programme for him to do. Basically a contestant from 22 is chosen at random, he/she has a numbered box (1-22) chosen at random. Basically the contestant has to ask the other contestants to open all boxes one by one, and make sure they get the lowest amounts coloured blue. The highest amount available is £250,000. Along the way, a dealer who rings on the phone gives the contestant a cash offer to that they may want to deal on (the meaning of the title). If they choose to carry on, they go with whatever boxes they are left with till the final amount, and if they deal a certain amount, they go away with that. It is quite nerve-wracking, but a really good teatime game show. It won the National Television Award for Most Popular Daytime Programme. Noel Edmonds was number 26 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars. Very good!
