Someone I know was offered tickets recently, and I think he said they would be seeing 3 episodes filmed over the course of the day.

Went down to Bristol with Mrs WR about three years ago to be in the audience as a "pilgrim"...biggrin

They shoot one in the morning and two in the afternoon, or the other way round...can't remember...hehe

The "contestants" are put up in a local hotel until they get have had their go,IIRC.

Episodes are usually filmed six months in advance unless "live".

Noel Edmonds is really good, putting everyone at ease.....a real professional.

Good fun, might go again......it's free...smile

So if they film 3 a day so 15 per week a contestant would potentially be there for two weeks and could win 1p worst case....

I live the strategy people have.

If I had te chance I'd simply start left to right for order of box selection
However for the prize quite a few first offers are in the £5k territory - thank you and good night I'll have a nice week skiing in val des

'Deal or no deal, how does it work'?
A question I have asked myself on many occasions.

Can someone explain this:

At the start of the show they pretend to be surprised/delighted to be 'chosen' to play on that day.

But they then go on to confirm they chose their numbered box at 'random'.

How can all 22 of them have chosen their boxes at random?

They are picked by the production team to play that day so they could get a selection of people to pick at random with them being one of them.

Guess everyone gets to pick a box apart from the new person and they know they won't be playing.

confused

But even if 5 people from the 22 are selected to play that day, what if they both want to pick box number 1?

Do you know how it works or are you just speculating?

Yes a bit jealous, although I might end up punching Noel.
