On May 20, 2006 All the boxes were gold and had stars on them, and all the contestants were dressed up as Eurovision characters from the past and had flags on their name badges. Also, the viewers game was changed so someone at home could win £5,000, £10,000 or £30,000 - the winning viewer ended up winning £5,000. Also, when Emma was selected, instead of the Walk of Wealth music, they had Buck's Fizz's Eurovision entry Making Your Mind Up.
I know the show is filmed a few weeks in advance, but surely it can't be a coincidence that the first day it goes head to head with both Millionaire and The Weakest Link that the prize is tripled to £30,000 (though the viewer won just £5000 actually!).
Be interesting to see the ratings - according to Weavers Week last week Deal peaked at 3.9m, while Millionaire in it's regular slot got 4.6m.
Something just popped into my head, but what did the values in the box look like before they introduced colours into the box lids? I can't remember and it is irritating me.
