Is this the first game to be shown on three entirely separate occasions - i.e. not counting More4 repeats in the days immediately after the original broadcast? Certainly the first to be shown in three calendar years anyway!

I'd prefer to see some from early 2006 as well, as the 2005 shows have mostly been shown on the recent More4 repeat series. Would like to see some of the recent ones I missed in full though, as have only seen the last 10 minutes on Youtube of the Jan/Feb 2007 classics.

Hmmmm well that game left me dreaming for the old days!! it was AMAZING.

The music was far more subtle, and the camera angles were better (as I mentioned) Noel was obviously loving it and not bored, no ten minute "suspense" gap between Noel asking the question and the player responding...

It reminded me of why I originally fell in love with the programme...

I miss those days

That was brilliant! I never saw Jennifer's game and it showed how things have changed throughout the year(s) like the 1st offer and the mad cheering after the 100,000 went.

I think the game really didn't have that much atmosphere...today the game would have been much more personal, and the 100K going, would have been really bad news!
It was a great show, and ground breaking at the time though.
Can you imagine if it was on today though? Noel would be going on about it for ages!
Andy K drives me nuts - loved how Noel shouted at him to open the box lol

Awww I miss the early days of Deal or No Deal. I'd forgotten how good they were.

I don't think I saw this game when it was orignially broadcasted so it was interesting to watch, even though I knew the outcome, obviously.

It's funny how back then a first offer of around £2,000 was considered to be good - you'd get at least £5,000+ nowadays!

I liked the music back then aswell, that 'clappy' music that can be heard in the DVD.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I loved Noel's high pitch voice when the £100,000 went!

In some ways you can tell it was a new show then, the atmosphere wasn't the same, the set has had several small improvements since, and it's got a lot slicker and smoother.

However in other ways it has gone over the top and become a parody of itself in more recent times - the constant blue chanting, Noel's gradual change in attitude towards total Wakeyism, perhaps too many "wacky" contestants and shows, etc. The inflated early offers are a bit much these days as well - although they were so low as to be totally pointless in the very early shows, they were just making sure nobody dealt at the first two offers while the show was still establishing an audience.

Wakeyism. God I love that word!

I really miss Jon. The forum doesn't seem quite the same without him and Dan4389 butting heads all the time! Oh, for the good old days!

Very interesting to see an older DOND game, I'd seen a bit of this one before, but as I only started watching around late February 2006 time, I'm used to the more modern approach to the show.
Made of steel was Jennifer as suggested by one of the players. The Banaker's offers were also interesting to watch, compared to nowadays, the offers that Jennifer received would probably be considered as far to low, or far too high...
YAY, 100th POST!!
sorry couldn't resist!

Based on the then-current FD benchmarks (which have become out of date in the post-Laura era), here are the offers that Jennifer might have received had she played a year later...

Offer 1: £8,400
Offer 2: £16,800
Offer 3: £23,200
Offer 4: £36,500
Offer 5: £40,200
Offer 6: £78,000

To be honest, I think that sounds like an entirely reasonable offer pattern for that game... I'm not sure when I'd have gone with those offers, probably at the fourth or fifth offer.

I hadnt seen that before..was interesting to see how different it is nowadays..

I also loved the simplicity - Noel was very impartial, there were no gimmicks and blue chants were a world away - also Jennifer was one of the least excitable contestants there ever was too - she was foussed and determined.

But the most excitable anyone got was Andy K with the 10p - and Trevor looking like he was about to be sick when she turned down £52k, and Leigh looking like he was bricking it when she picked him - then the relief on his face when he revealed £500!

A true classic - only David J and Bunney since have managed to deal with £250k in play at the last pair showdown, only to find they didn't have it all along - that's as perfect as it gets!

I also noticed in today's repeat that Jennifer didn't say to Noel "ask me the question" or "I'm ready for the question." When did that whole thing start? And the box values didn't have coloured backgrounds. If they'd kept it that way, we wouldn't have the "blue, blue, blue!" chant.

A belated well done, Jennifer!

WELL DONE JENNIFER!

I prefered the older games with the weak seals and the black and white boxes - It makes the phone look normal.

Elaine B who opened the £75,000 in this game was a bit of a black widow wasn't she?

Does anyone know her box stats?
