I think it needs to be said that Endemol's treatment of disabled contestants on DOND needs to be commended.

The show really is open to everybody and the crew go out of their way to accommodate disabled contestants so they can get the same enjoyment and experience out of taking part in the show as any so called normal person.

I can say this genuinely from my own experience on the show.

DOND was the first show I can recall that had disabled people playing.

Thank you all disabled people playing.

Thank you to all the crew in the dream factory

Hi Andrew

I have to agree with you and the fact that we've had so many different nationalities of people play on the show. I can't think of another game show on TV that has had so many non-British contestants on the show.

I've always said DoND has the most diverse range of contestants ever seen on a UK game show, and that is to its immense credit. Deserves to be what the show is remembered for in the years and decades to come (won't be, though).

The most memorable player for me was the chap who won £100k (name escapes me :eyes: ). I recall him zooming around the studio in his wheelchair and even Noel told him to calm down.

The outcome is rather topical in the light of the result from Clares game. I'm pretty sure the boards were similar, but bravery was abound with the chap who took home the second biggest amount on the board.

Filmed on a Monday afternoon/early evening in October 2010, broadcast January 26th 2011.

Definitely in my top 5 games of all time (although being in the audience for it definitely skews my opinion) and IIRC, Dale was whizzing around so much that at one point he did tip out of of his chair.
