Product Description

Only rarely does a TV show capture the public's imagination, and this has truly been the year of "Deal or No Deal". With record-breaking audiences on Channel 4 and a host of awards under its belt, it's the biggest quiz since "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", and looks set to run and run. But what happens behind the scenes? This book reveals the drama behind devising, making and perfecting the hit show. At its heart is presenter Noel Edmonds' own personal story and his charismatic return to television. Alongside Noel's own thoughts on the show, there are insider secrets from the hard-working production teams, as well as stories from the most popular contestants over the course of the first season - who were the biggest gamblers, and who beat the banker or joined the 1p club. With exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs, this is the perfect Christmas gift for any of the 4 million loyal viewers who watch the show every single day.

Customer Reviews

An essential book for any deal or no deal fan!
I got this book recently and i think it's great! The first few chapters are particularly interesting, talking about a day in the life of a contestant, how the show is put together, an interview with the banker and other things. After these first few chapeters there is one long chapter chronicling all the contestants and their games from Series 1. There are only a couple of problems I would like to point out:

1: They could have put some more chapters about other things at the front maybe about the audience, since the games section takes up most of the book.
2: The games section itself is not that great because for some contestants if they dealt early it does not mention their future offers. Also if they went to the very end it does not always say what amount of money was in the last remaining box in the wings.

These may be slight annoyances but the book is still amazing and official too. Overall, it is an essential purchase and therefore I reccomend it to anyone interested in deal or no deal!
