When I first watched this, I had no idea that it would be the phenomenon it became. It took me 4-6 years to get to grips with the show and make it an everyday favourite programme.

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

Where it all started! Still remember the first time watching this and immediately afterwards, me and my mum became hooked on it! Still love it to this day and hope someday it'll come back!

[@TheLogoWorldUK1]

It is coming back! A revival series, presented by Stephen Mulhern, will air on ITV1 later this year. 😀

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

@@TheLogoWorldUK1 I know, I heard the news about that about 3 months ago. Unfortunately for me, I just don't think Mulhern will bring the same style of hosting as Edmonds did. I hope I'm wrong!

[@IamKevinFinnerty]

Well the revamp was poor. Lower top Prize, lower bank offers and nowhere near as much drama.

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

@@IamKevinFinnerty Well I liked it, even if you didn't. OK granted there were a lot of things that never should've been changed, but I still thought Stephen gave it a good go!

Can't believe this was 18 years ago.

This is the First Time I’ll ever Seen The First ever Episode of Deal or No Deal

[@DoctorWhoFanpage]

Me too. It's weird seeing the sums on a white background in the boxes.

[@IdahoGamer26]

The start of a phenomenon!

[@Jay-be1xk]

Honestly I remember my nan used to watch this after when she would pick me up after school and I didn’t think much of it. Until now I seen it on the tv again and I’m hooked

[@doyinolugbusi4270]

Maurice was the first ever person to have £250,000 and Jayne was the first ever person to have 1p and Vikki was the last ever person to have £250,000

[@PennyLaneYouTube]

I'm in Canada, so we got the US & then Canadian versions, then the revamped US syndicated version... this is nice to rewatch

[@lufcmike19]

Someone finally has this in high quality!

[@DiamondEnderPearl0135]

The very first game... looks so different back then, little did they know it would run for 3000 games! Can't wait for the relaunch of Deal or No Deal!!!!

[@SuperYtc1]

There is a relaunch? When?

Brilliant! Finally a good quality version of this! (not vhs or phone at a tv) Thank you so much, appreciate all your work!

[@csenterprises9632]

Thankfully it was from a request. So I was happy enough to do it. Appreciate the feedback once more. 😁

[@officialopit]

@@csenterprises9632 That's good! If you are taking requests - personally I would like to see Jennifer's game (#17) if you have it. The one already on KZbin, well, not very good :D

[@csenterprises9632]

@@officialopit Yeah, if people want to see more from the first 66 via request, that’s great!

9:03 The first ever Banker offer in Deal or No Deal. Edit: Wow, 3 likes on a comment?! You guys are amazing!

[@harryholden5377]

Thanks for this mate

[@paulheary2767]

I loved deal or no deal when it was on channel 4

[@LOLMAN9538]

So this is how we got the successful US adaptation with Howie Mandel, huh?

[@matthewhalloran5438]

When Deal or No Deal first started There wasn’t Blue or Red in the Boxes They where all Just White

[@underneonloneliness2]

They were probably testing the ratings out to see if it was successful or not.

[@lufcmike19]

Hope I’m not bugging, but do you have Natalie’s game? The first player to bring the £250,000 to the table?

[@csenterprises9632]

Can you remember what episode number it was?

80% of fair value is better compared to other offers the Banker made throughout this show's run. In fact, in some cases, the Banker is so arrogant, that he offers less than half value, even on the final offer, creating a very bad taste in the mouth of an American viewer watching this.
