Not necessarily going to happen, but there may be a possibility of more 'On Tour' episodes or a switch of channel.

Highly unlikely with ratings of only around 200k for the Tour episodes. Even C5 would turn that down.

Were people aware of them? Where was it advertised?

In which case, I look forward to the Noel Edmonds Positive Power Hour on Sky One, featuring back to back Deal or No Deal and an all new series of Noel's HQ.

C4 were quick to move on during the end credits saying "Out with the old, in with the new" as they promoted Noels' Sell or Swap. Both that and Cheap, Cheap, Cheap looked very uninspiring when initially announced but having seen a bit more about them both since on Bothers Bar it does seem they're formats built around Noels strengths rather than a couple of random commissions they needed a host for.

Heaven knows why this channel is so desperate to keep this relationship with Noel going, though, he is a total liability.

Of course, Noel was quick to say in all the interviews it was "a new era" for Deal, but yesterday C4 tweeted it was the last ever.

This 'Sell or Swap Live' thing next Friday appears to be an onair pilot with a view to a full series next year
