Did anyone think Spartacus on the forum a member in the early days, was actually Player 14?

I think we pretty much worked it out and thought it was a female contestant from early on, can’t remember the name though.

I remember the whole Geordiegate thing though, there were a couple of ID’s who took his side on everything and eventually he gave the game away by signing off as Geordie on a post from one of the others :lol:

Just had a look on the forum, looks like it was player 3, Anita!

I remember someone worked out it couldn't have been her because Spartacus referred to a statistic or box number or something that meant it couldn't be her. It could well have been her anyway though and she just made an error with whatever she referenced.

Slightly changing the subject, there used to be an Excel sheet which Endemol had on the official DoND website, detailing all the players (including their surnames!) and winnings. I thought I saved a copy, but can't find it.

Does anyone have a copy and be willing to share it? :-D

Not sure how long they maintained it for but I think it was until at least 2010ish.

There's someone on the discord dond server, with all the links to each episode and contestants first names and winnings, all in a spreadsheet

Anyway, who are we still waiting to see among old regulars? I think Kestral’s dropped in hasn’t he? So just waiting for Daniel4389, Suezan, Wakey, Walsh (maybe not!), “The Banker”, No Deal, Steve, JimmyB (or was it G?), Qwerty, JKD and “I Hate This Stupid Fixed”! Oh, and a few contestants from the old days would be good to see.

Hi!! Was just trying the new season on ITVX (not sure I will stick with it, it doesn't seem the same with the lower boxes and no Noel) and thought I would come and see if this place was still going, can't believe how many people are still here! Hope everyone is well and enjoyed the new season, what with this and Big Brother I feel like I've been transported to my teenage days (even though I am now 34 and married with two kids...)

Welcome back Daniel!

Welcome back! Yes quite a throwback, we’ve still got Gladiators to follow though you’re probably too young to remember the original for that one!

Most of us weren’t really “still here” until recently, I averaged about one post a year for the past decade…

What's weird is that seeing "daniel4389" as the "last poster" in the forum index still actually looks familiar. That's the mark of an iconic member

Welcome back!

DoND being revived is definitely like stepping back into the late 2000s, especially given how many people have returned here. Being able to WFH and finish at 4pm most of the time nowadays also means I can frequently watch the show live.

I was...and weirdly, I still am! 29 in a little under a month. Just feeling slightly more weathered, slightly more frequently, as each year goes by

Even the younger Daniel is now older than I was when DOND/this place started, that’s quite scary…

Welcome back Mr 4389

Next special 7th January 7pm!

Not posted for a while on here. Wasn't able to watch the new run entirely live due to real life commitments.

I actually liked Stephen as host.

It did feel we crossed off many of the "cliches" from the original run.

Quite a shame also that bravery from the contestants and the boards never married up so that we got a mega money box win.

UPDATE:

Deal or No Deal Coronation Street Special - 7pm - January 7th 2024
ITV1 London
Stephen Mulhern hosts as Corrie star Simon Gregson tries to open the 22 red boxes in the right order, going head-to-head with the infamous Banker. Supported in the wings by his family, friends and a few famous faces, can Simon choose the right boxes and resist the Banker's tempting cash offers until just the right moment to take home a fortune for his chosen charity?

Ah, and Billy, who was last here five years ago but deserves a mention because his animated signature is exactly the same as it was then, a collage of player photos put together to make one big portrait of Noel that then zooms in to reveal the individual contestants. Snazzy.

Happy to be remembered

I was quite proud of my signature at the time, done with an old version of Jasc Animation Shop on a Windows XP computer!

I was aged 17 to 19 when I made most of my posts on here and I did get very dramatic (as teenagers past and present do), I really did love the show for its first two years and made my frustrations very clear at times, so I’m sorry for anyone who got in the firing line of this at various points. Deal or No Deal introduced me to a lot of people who helped me revolutionise my social life and become the much calmer 35 year old I am today, so I’ll always be grateful for it and those I met.

I haven’t seen the new series yet, but I did recently get surprisingly back into Doctor Who again which I hadn’t really watched for a decade so maybe it’s time for another mid-2000s revival!

There's now been confirmation that a second series will air - https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/dealnodeal-s2repann1

It says filming will take place from the end of June and the new episodes will air from September. No other details yet, including how many episodes will be recorded, but if it ran until Christmas then it could be around 75.

Good to hear, though some way off! Hope most of the series 1 non-players come back.

Finally sorted my login out... Hope everyone is well!

I've only seen the odd clip from the new series but it was good to hear the theme tune again. I'm not usually home now when it's on, and after DOND originally ended I decided not to let my life be ruled by game shows again (prior to DOND I was obsessed with Weakest Link for a few years - I was in my late teens / early twenties but still, what the hell was I thinking :oops:

). Looks like a new series will be on the air soon so will have to see if I can catch an episode or two. I met Stephen Mulhern briefly on another ITV show about 6 years ago - really nice guy.
