March was an interesting month. 2006 was the all-time peak of the show with lots of great games and big characters (though the huge wins during the month were won pretty easily due to crap offers).
March 2007 started out great but then steadily got worse and the second half of the month was dominated by bad luck, OPLs and squandered big wins, and the forum was really starting to get sick of the 'wakey era' annoyances like blue chants, offers being too high, not enough characters on the show, Noel's 'Wakeyism' etc.
March 2008 was a very mixed, it started badly (Andy's crying game and the three blue wins at the start) and ended badly (Matty's self-inflicted 1p win, Olga's heartbreaking trainwreck game, Brian squandering a big finish and Phyl JUST getting a 4-figure sum out of a nightmare game), but the middle part of the month was quite good and had some great games. Matty's game also marked the true beginning of the 'unlucky era', with trainwreck games, cautious/shell-shocked players dealing too early, and bad games leaving negative impacts on the wings dominating the next few months
March 2009 was great, a memorable month with £250k Alice, H2005's appearance on the show, and the 1000th show celebrations near the end of the month. There were great characters on the show and 2 underrated £35k box wins
March 2010 was a bit average but not bad. There were some great OPWs and £72k Caine's game was the highlight of the month, despite Michael's trainwreck game in the second week of the month leaving a bit of a fear factor. There were also some unusual gimmicks and twists during the month were overall that bought up some interesting discussion
March 2011 was very middle of the road with no power-5 level wins. In the early part of March, Franca had a great game with a £30k OPW, Archie was the big character who played this month, and the most memorable feature of the month was the run of FIVE consecutive shows with £50 on the table!! After Archie, not much really happened for the rest of the month, and March ended with the month's highest win, £31k Charlotte
March 2012 was very poor, with just 3 OPWs all month and the highest win of the month being £26,000. Damien had a spectacular crash to a blue win and h after no-dealing £40,000, and the month was dominated by a lot of caution, with £950 Dave doing one of the worst deals ever and so did Eugenia a few days later in a game full of SHOCKINGLY bad offers, and then, there was THAT show of the month poll
March 2013 was possibly the strongest month of 2013. The first half of the month was fairly average but the second half of the month was great and had some high wins, especially in the week leading into Easter (Most of which were just down to good luck and reasonable risks paying off beautifully)
March 2014 was pretty good and spawned two memorable huge wins, with one being the highest deal ever and the other one involving a 'box-gate' at the big reveal!!
March 2015 was very average and just had a dull run of caution and blue wins, and from here, the show started being on less and less due to horse-racing telecasts and being off screen for months on end during the middle part of the year. One of the first signs that 'Deal' was on its last legs
Finally, March 2016, the penultimate month of the penultimate season of DoND. It was also broken up by horse-racing telecasts after a solid run through January and February, it was good and had a couple of mega-money OPWs in the form of £50k Doreen and £80k Alison (Though you could say March and April 2016 were one month as April had just THREE shows before the show went off to a 6 month+ break before returning for its final run in October)
Man, March was all over the place during DoND's 11 year run!!
