    Scheduled for Friday week- bit strange though - it's going to be halved up with Coronation Street in the middle:
    8.00 Deal On No Deal
    8.30 Corrie
    9.00 Deal Or No Deal

    Basically doing what RTÉ did with WWTBAM? It allows them to have viewers stay with TV3 rather than turning over to RTÉ One for the News or for EastEnders.

    TV3 want Friday night to be theirs from 7pm

    Emmerdale, Coronation St., Deal Or No Deal, Coronation St., Deal or No Deal and then we can all tune in to RTÉ One again.

    It should work out well for them. Is the National Lottery still sponsoring Coronation St?

    Went along to the pilot showing today, and must say the set design is much better than the UK one, and Keith Barry is quite a good host, did a much better than the likes of Marty Whelan and such. Ran alot better than Winning Streak imo. Looking foward to seeing the broadcast versions. And it's one game split over the two shows with Corrie in the middle.

    Good to hear they have gone with a different set. Are the rules the same?

    I guessed it would be the one game over 2 shows again it makes sense so people will wait until the end of the Coronation St to see the outcome.

    I like Marty Whelan on Winning Streak TBH, I don't watch it that often only saw it when he started doing it.

    It follows the format used in most countries, 26 boxes, first round open 6 boxes, second open 5 boxes, third round 4 boxes so on...

    Box openers are members of the public known as the 'green box club' as well as the contestants family and friends.

    The set is two tiered with half the boxes on an upper level and the rest on a lower level, it's decorated with money vaults, which light red when the banker rings, and the screen that displays the money left in game splits in two for the host and contestant to enter.

    Aw I actually can't wait to see it now. Good to hear that you think it's better set than the UK one. I was just imagining a cheap version when I first heard the idea - but I really hope this works out for the lotto and TV3.

    A friend of mine was in the audience and told me exactly what happened. I asked what about the confidentiality agreement. He said 'oh was that what I signed at the start' ah well.

    you should take the confidentiality agrrement seriously, whats the point in going to all that trouble to shoot these programmes where the outcome is supposed to be a surprise, ive done 6 now and would love to tell my friends and family but you just cant...

    rules are the same only theres 26 boxes instead of 22 and the box openers are members of the players family and friends, it is un by the national lottery and thats how its different, the players are pulled out of a hat from all entrants

    Less than four hours to go now - but pre-broadcast hype has been comparatively very little, hasn't it?

    Wonder how much that will say about how well the show is going to do...

    Shows that give out large sums of money for very little skill often do well. Most National Lottery TV Game Shows pull in an audience. So it will be unlikely that this won't do well for TV3, especially sandwiched between Coronation Street.

    I will take a look but TBH shows that give out large sums of money for very little skill don't interest me (unless I am on them). I suppose for me it will just be a novelty.

    I'm wondering, given that this thread has mostly dealt with the run-up to DOND Ireland, should it now be locked and a new thread created for general discussion of what takes place on the show, just like with THAT other game show on TV3?

    It's not as bad as I feared it would be. Keith Barry was a little stiff but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as it was the first show.

    My main problem was that it seemed very dragged out. It didn't flow as well as the UK version.

    It is produced by the people who produce the UK series.

    It's a bit unfair to be a National Lottery game. At least with Winning Streak you're guaranteed to go home with something, used to be £10,000, not sure what it is now. But with Deal or No Deal you could end up leaving with virtually nothing.

    Maybe it's because there are 4 more boxes. It seemed they were asking 4 or 5 people their opinions after every offer. Just seemed to drag a bit.

    I don't know you go into a shop and buy a Scratch card you might not win any thing, this just prolongs the agony of knowing you could loose.

    I thought they were going to have 26 players (scratch card winners) all guaranteed 1000 euro and at the start of the show 1 would be chosen to play Deal Or No Deal.

    I didn't think he would ask the banker so much towards the end the banker was offering money in places that he/she wouldn't normally. I only fast forwarded to the end.

    Anyone watch it live with the break for Coro St how did that work out for ye?

    I think you are guaranteed €5,000.

    When we were there for filming, the lady got a cheque for her €20,000 and €5,000 as well.

    It does drag, and that where it falls down. Those last 4 or 5 boxes where the banker makes an offer after every box kills it imo. Added to that the fact that the players are just randomly picked from those who buy scratchcards whereas in the UK you have to audition, the Irish game is very dull in comparison.

    I was also there for next weeks episode, which i shan't reveal any details of.
