"I'VE GOT NO BRIEF FOR THIS MOMENT"
Someone has finally won £250,000 on Deal or No Deal?.
The winner was, inevitably, a lady, but not a dusky one so Noel's lechering wasn't too unbearable. He did make it his business to smother her loads of times, however, and crow that, "it couldn't have happened to a more wonderful person". He also blubbed constantly. There was one awful shot when the winner was jumping up and down with all the other contestants and the camera cut back to show Noel sitting alone with big watery eyes like a rheumatic labrador.
The ticker tape came down on cue, though, just as Noel had planned it all those months ago. The show's being repeated on Tuesday on More4 at 11am, weirdly, but there'll undoubtedly be a primetime C4 repeat before the week is out.

It's such a shame it was spoiled in practically every newspaper, forum and website going two months ago. A £250k win coming completely by surprise would have been very incredible indeed.
And it's being repeated on C4 4:45pm Saturday, I think.

Actually it was quite touching to see Noel genuinely moved by the win, even it was because it showed that the £250,000 wasn't just as transparent dangling carrot. I also liked that she seemed like a perfectly normal person considering the wierdos and idiots who've sat in that chair over the past year.
I only came to this by chance. Usually, I'm over this show, but I have to say I was gripped and I'm glad she won. It made me realise how good this show can be, when there's no faux cameraderie or catchphrases or tears.
Pure unadulterated tension.

Agreed, agreed, Jon.
It's a pity that if, or when, I finally watch it, the element of suspense will have gone completely.
Perhaps it's because I expect so little of daytime gameshows that Deal Or No Deal has exceeded my expectations?
