Deal or No Deal

Whatever gave you this impression?



Subtitles have always, in part, been partially ahead of what's happening on the screen (ie, they appear in "blocks") which is why you saw the sequence of numbers appear on the subtitle track before Carol could read them.



Always recorded but rarely "scripted" as such apart from the usual routine of how things get done such as "we do four letters and one number, hear a story, go to a break", etc.

Beg pardon?

Noel Edmonds has become Britains highest paid TV presenter after signing a £3m Deal to host the show for another 18 months - which on top of the current year long deal should see the show well into 2008.

I'm not so sure, it's £3 million over 18 months whereas Paul O'Grady is on £2 million per year for presenting his Channel 4 show. It doesn't bother me, as a massive fan of Noel I'm glad he's back and successful and this really sticks the finger up to all the people that don't like him.

(F)uck me, how much..?

I have to say, and this is going to sound incredibly biased, but I think Noel Edmonds is the best general TV Presenter in Britain - alongside Philip Schofield in 2nd place. 3rd probably Cilla Black..

Paul O'Grady being best Chat show host. I feel Parky's kind of lost his way a bit over the years and, even though I like him, Jonathan Ross is so self-inclinde its nauseating at times.

Oh god I've started my own award ceremony here... Anyway...Deal or no deal...

Yep he's on about £20,000 per show and I got it wrong as he'll actually make £2.5 million from presenting his Channel 4 show!!

Look at this from the Broadcast site:

Paul O'Grady will land over £2.5m a year in presenting fees alone for his new Channel 4 daytime show.

The star is understood to have signed a talent deal that will net him over £20,000 per show - nearly double his ITV fee. His new C4 show will air five days a week in a 5pm slot, for six months a year.

The new deal, brokered by former Carlton Productions executive Lord Waheed Alli, is a massive hike on the daytime star's former ITV fee, which is understood to have been £12,000 per show.

O'Grady will make even more cash from the show, set to kick off for a 12-week run on 27 March, as he is set to make it through his new production company Olga TV. His ITV show was a co-production with his old indie Wildflower.

O'Grady has already recruited a number of the executives who worked on his ITV show, including series producer Robert Gray, the Granada producer ITV was so desperate to hold on to that it is understood to have offered to raise his annual salary to over £100,000.

Pink boxes now!

Doesn't look as awkward as green.

The pink boxes look great IMO!

And interesting article in the Daily Mail today, saying they film 3 episodes a day, 5 days a week, and Noel is known to go totally off on one if they have to re-shoot a scene.

46 shows - and still not Lucy!


She's been on so long each week you keep thinking she's being saved for the Saturday show - so I'm guessing now she'll be on next Saturday - April 1st!

So Easter could see chocolate brown coloured boxes?

Nope. Lucy's on the 30th March show.
