Live episodes of Deal or No Deal on Channel 4 this autumn

For the first time ever in the programme's history, Channel 4 will air live shows of the popular game show Deal or No Deal, produced by Remarkable, an Endemol company.

Deal or No Deal Live starts 4pm, Monday 10th October on Channel 4. Over two weeks, 12 hour-long episodes of the nail-biting game show will play out live from the Dream Factory where contestants must play a game of luck and risk in an attempt to win a potential £250,000 prize. 

At the helm of this live extravaganza will of course be Noel Edmonds, and as always the dastardly Banker will be keeping an eye on proceedings endeavouring to thwart the attempts of the contestants to win big.

In a new twist to the show, contestants do not know yet know that they will be playing the game. Noel will be making his way around the country, knocking on doors to surprise the contestants. So you never know, if you hear the doorbell ring... it could be you!

Channel 4 Head of Daytime, Helen Warner, said: "It's hugely exciting to be doing Deal or No Deal live for the first time and Noel is the only presenter I can imagine being able to cope with something of this scale and ambition. I think the viewers will love it."

Since the show's launch in 2005, there have been some classic games, some unbelievably tense moments, lots of dressing up and three quarter-millionaires! Will Deal or No Deal Live see the crowning of a new quarter-millionaire? Or will the penny-pinching Banker be adding even more members to his infamous 1p club?
