2033: A time of strictness and a great year of technology. The latest craze is having rare names for your children. 31% of mums announced in a countrywide survey that they have called their children by a rare name, e.g. Taniqua. Over 2.8 million 21-40 year olds have changed their name by dipole, because their original name “was too boring.”

Football was still a huge popularity. With virtual reality software that was available from March 2029, people can be in the action of any sport, game or video game the world has ever seen.

The world of technology was taken very far. As well as having virtual reality software, they had created touch-screen computers, which were at least 22” wide, and they’re all in 3D. Each way you looked at it, it was perfectly square, and all the data was in a medium sized 9cm by 9cm square, and in there would be all your memory and hard drive. Voice detectors are also installed, and you can now type by talking to the computer.

Fourteen years before, conservative actually took place in the PM spot. They decided to bring forward matters such as the NHS and the BRF (British Robot Foundation) and left behind “irrelevant” matters such as healthy eating. But the main priority was environmental issues. After reports islands being sunk due to the ice caps melting, scientists proved that half of Britain could be under water in as little as 70 years. Matters became even worse on 22nd April that year, when a huge tidal wave slammed into many places on the coast and alongside the Thames. Serious action was taken, limiting the amount of voltage a household can use. Every battery available was rechargeable.

But, after a long 11 years without no reality shows and classical dramas on BBC1, they were about to, hopefully, pull in more than 15 million viewers a day. A “blast from the past” announces the advert, “an old television phenomenon… It’s Deal or No Deal!”

Winner of Big Brother 23, Daniel Smythe hosts this version of Deal or No Deal. A few clips are shown of the Original, the revived 2008 version and the later 2012 versions. Endemol decided that the show should have one final blast before it finally dies off. “This will be the best ever version of Deal or No Deal” announces Smythe, 31 from Harrogate. In a large studio in BBC television centre, London, a vintage game show was revived…

The first game will be posted tonight, and every Wednesday thereafter.

21st September 2033, 8:00pm

“Welcome to our first game of Deal or No Deal, the game show which can change someone’s life, just by picking a few numbers. Nope. It isn’t like that at all… In the previous series’ we had, we’ve seen people agonise through offers, that we’re unturndownable, over amounts available that were gigantic and life-changing. In our series, we’re giving a jackpot of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds.” The audience cheer like mad. “We can’t play without any contestants, so let’s bring in our 26 contestants!” Audience applause as the 26 contestants walk out with their boxes, and take the places on the purple looking Liquid-like sides. Their boxes are blue and are placed on top of the ‘jelly,’ with lights shining on them.
“Those 26 boxes hold the following 26 amounts:”



“Today, a player is going to be able to win up to £750,000… Let’s choose a player.”

Yancy!

“Yancy! It’s your turn to play Deal or No Deal’s first game of the series.”

Yancy is 35, a B145 robot manufacturer (basic, household robots) from Digby in Lincolnshire.
“Oh the irony!”
Digby chuckles. “Not the first time I’ve got stick like that…”
Yancy’s wife Terracotta is in the audience, and they both have 2 children, Bruce and Yasynne. They want to win money to move to France, and pay off their mortgage now.
“Yancy, you like windsurfing.”
“Indeed I do yes, we have a club; Digby Windsurfing Group. We came 2nd in the Lincolnshire windsurfing championships.”
“Well done to those who came first…”
Audience laughs and Yancy smiles.
“Tough luck mate… okay, are we ready to play?”
“Indeed we are.”
“Let’s begin, your first box selection please.”

1 – Digby - £20,000[

“That’s ok!”
“Indeed it is, 4 to go.”
“Let’s go with…”

12 – Melyssa - £500

“Great, a nice low blue amount off the board.”
“I think now that 25 has a blue.”
“Reveal a blue Patricia.”
“All the luck, Yancy.”

25 – Patricia - £5!

“Great tactic, try using it for a while.”
“I think that 22 has a blue Novia.”
Novia pulls the seal. “I hope it is blue.”

22 – Novia - £10,000

Applauses from the audience. A woman with curly hair is just nodding off.
“It’s not too bad, final box.”
“Spike! Come on Jake, box 8.”
“Good luck mate.” Spike tries to remove the seal…

8 – Spike - £300!

“That’s it!” Audience are happy and cheerful, and applause.
“5 boxes gone and you still have everything good intact, still winnable, they’re all sums of money that can be in your life.”
The phone rings and the liquid wings and metal backdrops shine red. “Hello Banker… uh huh… that was an excellent opening round. Yes… right then. Okay, bye.” Daniel puts the phone down.

“The first guaranteed sum of money today, the first offer to buy box 7 is now £10,600.”



“That’s a nice amount, what do you say, Terry?”
Camera turns to Terracotta. “It’s nice, but you have £750,000 left, go on!”
“I think, it’s a NO DEAL.”
Applauses.
“Right then, we have another 5 boxes to open before we have another offer.”
“This time, it’s box 19, Raymond.”
“Top chap, good luck.”

19 – Raymond – 10p!

The 10p itself is shown as a huge 10p coin graphic with blue writing on it inside the box. The audience are cheering like mad. Yancy shakes Raymond’s hand.
“That was fantastic.”
“It was! It was…”
“Next one.”
“Maddison, I’ll have 10 please.”

10 – Maddison - £400,000!

Audience groan, and there is a slight silence. “That wasn’t so good…”
“Box 2.”
“Zenia!”
“Hi Daniel.” Zenia looks a little shy
“What’s in the box?”
“Erm…” Zenia peers at the board. “The Car.”
“Hmm… okay, open it.”
“Good luck Yancy,” and removes the seal.

2 – Zenia - £50,000

Silence. “Nope you were 2 away.”
“I still have the big, big ones…”
“Keep them there, we’ve got 2 to open.”
“Right, 13, Isabella.”
“Isabella, remove the seal and reveal something low.”
“Best of luck.”

13 – Isabella - £250,000!

“Oh no, that’s £250,000 not in your box, and possibly, just possibly three quarters of a million pounds.”
Applauses by the audience.
“We’ve got 1 to go.”
“Right, I’ll go for 14.”

14 – Rosabelle - £1500

More applause by the audience. “We finished on a blue, I thought it’d be impossible after that run!” The phone rings, and the red studio returns. Daniel picks up the phone. “Hello?”
Camera turns to Melyssa who is looking at the board.
“That was a good round for you, yeah… hmm… right then ok.”
The phone drops, the studio is back to purple.

“It went down, obviously, but just to £9,600. He’s cut you a grand short.”



“Hmm… that’s fair…”
“A good offer, you can still have £750,000 in your box.”
“Yep, so, NO DEAL.”
More applause, as Yancy gets up to look around.
“4 to open in this round.”
“Right-e-o, let’s go for the lovely Camille, box 11, please.”
“Best of luck Yance.” The seal is ripped off.

11 – Camille - £10!

“Great stuff, now we want more satisfaction as such, next one.”
“Astra, can you open box 9 please?”
“I really hope it’s blue.”

9 – Astra - £75,000

“Oh dear, that’s not what we wanted to see… 2 boxes to go, keep the hundred, hundred and fifty and the seven hundred and fifty thousands.”
“Okay…”
“Blue!”
“Yes! 3, Gregg.”
“Good luck chap.”

3 – Gregg - £6,000

Applauses.
“When are you ever going to clap because you can’t win £6,000?” Some audience members laugh
“Yeah, but this is different, I can win £750,000!”
People applaud, and Melyssa shouts out, “Come on Yancy!”
“Final box before the offer.”
“Malcolm, and box 15.”
“Right Malcolm, 3 amounts we want to avoid, can you do it for us?”
“I hope so, I hope this is a blue!”

15 – Malcolm - £150,000.

More groans, followed by an uncomfortable silence. Then the phone rings, and Jean and Jocelyn are looking slightly depressed. “Hello banker… yes, you’re having it your way up to now.”
Yancy smiles.
“Right, he still has 2 big numbers in play, on the board and a 16% chance he can win one! Oh… fine then, goodbye…” Daniel looks stressed as he drops the phone.

“I tried… he won’t take it… £12,100.”



Large groans.
“It’s nice, but on that board, it’s fairly crap to be honest, so it’s an automatic NO DEAL.”
Applauses, and the wings suddenly become really revved up.
“In these 4 boxes, the next minute or two can now change your life.”
“Box 26, Graeme.”
“Blue… Please…”

26 – Graeme - £40,000

“Oh what? We now have just 4 left, pick out of the selection of 7 blues PLEASE?!”
“Come on guys!” Applause. “Box 24.”
“Heidi, we must have a blue, come on…”
“Really, really hope it’s the 50p…”

24 – Heidi - £750.

“YESS!!! THANK YOU!” applauses as Yancy hugs Heidi.
“Oh phew…”
“More of that, we’ll take blue anytime.”
“Box 20.”
“Come on Jocelyn, can you reveal a blue?”

20 – Jocelyn - £50!

“Yes!” More, loud applause and the room seems a lot more tense.
“Can I have Terracotta down here?”
“Certainly, yes.”
Audience applause as Terracotta takes Yancy’s seat.
“Come on, pick a number, Terra.”
“23!”
“Okay, go no the Taniqua. If this is the seven fifty Terra…”
Audience laugh, and they applause leading into a “Yancy” chant.
“Blue. Just, simply blue, open it.”
“Best of luck.” Taniqua closes her eyes as she opens the box…

23 – Taniqua – 50p!!

Everyone cheers, the wings are jumping up and down and the audience are raving. Yancy gives Taniqua a big hug and then comes back and kisses his wife.
“God, we should’ve had you play!” some laughs, but it’s not that funny a joke, then the phone rings.
“Hello, you’re not laughing now are you?” Pause… “What? Wow, okay…” Daniel puts the phone down.

“This is no insult……………… £44,000.”



The audience scream at the huge increase.
Yancy nods to Terracotta. “£44,000 god… DEAL!”
The audience applause, as he shakes Daniel’s hand and gives Terracotta a big hug. The wings look relieved, and very happy.
“I dealt because of one, the risk of opening 3 boxes and hitting it in the next round, and that’ll change my life.”
“That’s fantastic, but how clever were you? Give me the next 3 boxes you would have gone for.”
“16, 21 and 18 would be next…”
“Let’s begin proveout, by Brett hopefully revealing £750,000.”
“Well done Yancy.”

16 – Brett - £75

“That would have been a fantastic start to the 5th round… can Jareth reveal it? Open 21…”
“I hope it is.”

21 – Jareth - £150
“Oh no, the luck would have gained up on you…”
“Oh dear.”
“18, Vince, this must be £750,000. Open it.”
Vince looks very stern as the seal is removed, mind you, his face has been like that through the game.

18 – Vince - £750,000!
“Yeah!” applauses, Vince is still looking stern… puts the box away and carries on as his normal self, as the proveout offer comes in over the phone.
“Aww… you’re gutted now? Aww… everyone, Aww…”
The audience laugh, and the wings laugh, and Daniel begins to laugh.
“They said “Aww…” too… the offer at this point? "

"£14,000!”
Applause as the phone goes down.
“You could still have the £100,000 in box 7, and he could have you cheap still…”
“Hmm… my next choices are 5, 4 and 17.”
“Right, if we can hit £100,000 now within the next 3, it’s a perfect deal.”
“Too right.”
“Ava, get rid of it now.”
“Well done darling, that’s a very nice sum of money…” she comes across very snobby.

5 – Ava – CAR

“Well our car, the Audi T3 4.7 TGVDFFGTTTi would have gone.”
“I can buy that anyway.” Yancy pulls a sarcastic snobby face, the camera turns back to Ava…
“Okay, Box 4 does it have £100,000?”
“It does!” Exclaims Jean, who immediately opens her box, splitting half of the bottom of the lid attached to the base in the process…

4 – Jean - £25

“Nope, oh Yancy, did you blow it?” Silence… “I really hope you did-“
“Can we cut the guilt trip and open the box?”
Daniel takes a step back. “Open box 17 and reveal a hundred thousand.”
“Here goes.”

17 – Mansel - £100,000!

“Wahey! Leave it until last moment why don’t you?”
Yancy smiles, Mansel puts his box under the desk and one sad bloke calls… “Hello you sad, sad person! Haha, fantastic.” He puts the phone down.

“Eleven hundred quid! £1,100 would have been the offer. What would you have done?”
“Left in a strop probably!”
“Right then, let’s open your box, Yancy, open your box 7…”

7 – Yancy - £3,000

“Still, a very good deal, Alistair, all that is left now is for you to open box 6.”

6 – Alistair - £1

“Okay, Yancy, Terracotta, for heavens sake, enjoy £44,000!”
Audience cheer and applause.
“We’ll see you next Wednesday on Deal or No Deal!”

And next up on BBC1 it’s our 17th Century classic, One London Day.

Top quality comedy! Loving the contesants' occupation...!

Comedy Gold as they say

But that font is hideous.

My main impression: Formal, and crap
