Friday, May 13th, 2011

Yes! We finally have our third Quarter of a Millionaire. The Banker’s Birthday week saw more than Cowboys and Indians, on Friday the 13th (of all days) we watched Suzanne take the Walk of Wealth and leave the ‘Dream Finish’ of £100,000 and £250,000 on the board in live play for the first time ever. She then swapped her box to win the coveted Jackpot.

Exclusive interview with the Birthday Boy

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

The Banker is just a big kid at heart and for his birthday party this year he’s playing Cowboys and Indians, complete with fancy dress and a few dastardly twists thrown into the mix. So we decided to put a few questions to Old Money Bags himself as we approach The Banker’s Birthday week:

Would you say you’re more of a Cowboy or an Indian at heart?

If I had a heart I’d tell you. As it is, next question.

As ever Noel will oversee proceedings, spending half the week as a sheriff and the other as chief. Which Noel did you prefer?

They were both equally disagreeable and as ever, badly dressed.

The players will get a chance to test their skill or put faith in lady luck for an extra special gift if they are still in live play at five box. Could you tell us a little bit more about the twists we can expect this year?

Yes I could. I could tell you. I think you mean “would”. Next time ask me if I would tell you. The answer will be no.

Friday the 13th is thrown into the mix this week, is that normally a luck day for you?

I got married on Friday the 13th. So, no.

Could you give us some more information about the fancy dress you have picked for this year?

You seem fascinated by my capabilities. Why not assume I could do anything and instead ask me if I choose to? The answer will be no.

What presents are you hoping for?

1p winners galore.

Has Noel ever brought you a birthday gift?

Yes, this year and every year he gives me the thrill of watching a television legend effortlessly making amazing television. It’s a gift he gives me every day… I’m joking of course. No.

How many birthday cards do you normally receive?

Four. One from my mother, one from my butler, one from my dogs and one from me. I make my own.

How many candles will be on your cake this year?

22, naturally.

Will you be sharing any Birthday fun with your thousands of followers on Twitter?

Oh, I have something in store for them Oh yes.. .Mwahahahaha!!

What is your highlight of the year so far?

The ones in Noel’s hair.

What is you lowlight of the year so far?

Noel’s hair.

Join in the celebrations at the Dream Factory as The Banker throws a week-long party to celebrate his birthday starting on Monday 9th May Channel 4, at 4pm.

YEEHAAAH! IT’S THE BANKER’S BIRTHDAY

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

There will be a week of birthday celebrations 9th – 15th May from 4pm, Channel 4

Join in the celebrations at the Dream Factory as The Banker throws a week-long party to celebrate his birthday starting on Monday 9th May Channel 4, at 4pm.

The Banker is just a big kid at heart and for his party this year he’s playing Cowboys and Indians, complete with fancy dress and a few dastardly twists thrown into the mix.

Split into two halves, the ‘Wild West Wing’ will dress up as Cowboys and the East Wing get to be Indians. As ever, Noel will oversee proceedings in style, as he spends half the week as sheriff and the other half as chief!

All week, to commemorate his big day, the birthday boy will be giving players the chance to test their skill or put their faith in lady luck for an extra special gift if still in live play at five box.

This big-hearted offer means that players can win a fabulous holiday and even have the chance to receive an offer from The Banker after every box they open. Of course though, The Banker has an evil plan, and if players fail, he will gain the upper hand by having a peek inside their box.

With unlucky Friday 13th thrown into the mix this week, will the players be down on their luck at the Dream Factory and give The Banker an extra reason to celebrate?

Watch an exclusive sneak peek here >>>

Five years of the 1p Club!

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Deal or No Deal is celebrating its 5th Birthday next week and within those 5 years, The Banker has managed to lure 33 unsuspecting contestants into the now legendary 1p club.

The first ever contestant to walk away with the 1p was Nick Bain in 2006, “Being the first member was great. I got a little notoriety” said the proud founder.

The same positive point of view was shared by Sally who won the 1p in July 2006 “Actually I do feel very privileged; it takes a certain type of person to go ‘all the way’. Not necessarily a better person or even a nicer one, but everybody I’ve met who is in the club has been really genuinely lovely” she said.

After winning 1p in May 2008, Katie remains hopeful of a return to the Dream Factory, “I keep holding out for the slightest hope that they might have a reunion show.”

Don’t miss courageous 1p winner, Corinne who makes a return to The Dream Factory next week to join in the momentous celebrations and reminisce over her Deal or No Deal experience.
