Can anyone tell me where we can get this from for our daughter for Xmas? We have seen it advertised somewhere but trawled the shops today (as well as the toilets ) and couldn't find it.

Sorry can't answer your question but please don't tell me they have a version of that programme in OZ

Yes and its utter crap, same as its uk counterpart

It obviously is a bit childish as my 8 year old loves it. I just read that the jumper hanger that is Noel Edmonds (I wondered what happened to him) is presenting a version in the UK.

Apparently it is a "worldwide phenomenon".

suzy

I saw two shows and he doesn't wear jumpers in them. I think he gets a bit sweaty with all the so called 'tension' so he sticks to shirts ('scuse the pun)

I saw an Italian version and a French version last week - worse than the British version

Probably good for kids though

I love the show, probably the gambling side of things hooked me in, £250 grand prize money would buy a nice little block in OZ, gonna be on it in the new year.

A dogs life

The thing that bugs me about that show is there is absolutely no skill involved. Its not like 'Who wants to be a millionaire' where you've at least got to know some general knowledge and know how to use the life lines.

Deal or no deal is just a corrupted inverted version of bingo. Pick a number, sorry you lose or well done you win. Wheres the excitement in that?!

Just buy them a load of ping pong balls and a bag. Write some numbers on the balls, and stick them in the bag, and then have hours of fun pulling them out and shouting out the numbers.

think the only thing good about the show is that it could teach people to be happy with what they have got an that by taking a gamble they could lose what they've gained...soz im sounding like a boring ole bloke thats just got on his moral donkey.

I watch it occasionally to see how many have the common sense to quit when they're in front, must be abit annoying to go from 16k uk down to a tenner.

well thats my 2 p's

True, did see a guy reject an offer of about £16grand and win a £1 coin!!
he jacked he's job in to go on the show as well :scared:

chaval

was it a quid he ended up with...was that the guy that kept winking and giving it the biggun...he looked abit gutted....

They have to answer some reasonably hard questions to be selected from the audience first of all but then it is no longer about skill apart knowing when to stop (like the Kenny Rogers song ). Ok, I know there is usually a sort of person that puts themselves up for this sort of thing but I am fascinated by the Aussie gambling culture in it - most of the time they go on way too long hoping for the big prizes encouraged by the audience.

And yes, it is in the Toys R Us catalogue but they didn't have any in the CBD store (sold out due to demand?). We will try in Joondalup today.
