I am a person who works on my laptop quite a lot as I sell upvc windows and upvc doors and I have to send people the quotes online. I like to watch the t.v whilst doing this as it helps me to relax.

The British version of the program is on channel four at about half past four and is hosted by Noel Edmonds. Even though I do love the show there are a number of ways in which I think it could be improved:

1. The time that the show is on is not ideal, I am normally out at half past four in the afternoon on a weekday, as I am sure most people are due to work etc.

2. It would, in my opinion, be far more riveting it were to be speeded up some what – all of the advert breaks do not really help either – if the show lasted for a short sharp thirty minutes it would probably be a world beater.

3. I think in this day and age, the prize money should be increased to a maximum payout of a million pounds from the current amount of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.

On on a recent episode there was a guy who had the dilemma of whether to deal or no deal with just two boxes remaining – they were the £1000 box and the £100,000 box. This person did have a decent job working at a PGD clinic but what was to happen next was a complete shock to me. The banker then offered him £35000, if I remember rightly, to leave there and then. The contestant was unsure for a while but then stated to Noel that he was now ready to be asked the question, deal or no deal? Noel duly asked him, to which the contentest stuttered “no deal”. It was not that he had a stuttering problem it was merely the nerves coming out.

I admired the guys bravery but £35000 is such a huge amount of money, especially compared with just £1000. Noel eventually opened up the contestants box to reveal that he had only won £1000. I could not believe it and felt quite sorry for the chap.
