I thought the standard was 18.

Re: REALLY obvious things you've just realised
Based on some of the posts on here recently - Deal Or No Deal is still a thing. It must have been around for 20 years. When I watched a few shows in about 2005, as a show with such limited scope, it didn't strike me as having that kind of mileage.
Re: REALLY obvious things you've just realised
I remember watching the last episode with Noel Edmonds in 2016 after I read it had been axed after 11 years and they’d decided to go on a farewell tour (including a show in Cheddar Gorge and even having a show on The Orient Express and another whilst flying onboard an jumbo jet!), and the £250k was won on the last game. I remember watching the first series, but didn’t see the first episode which was also the day Countdown returned with Des Lynam (which I also didn’t see). Admittedly I was addicted to it before I moved on to The Chase.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Sat Mar 29, 2025 2:01 pm Based on some of the posts on here recently - Deal Or No Deal is still a thing.

Noel went on to do two more game shows, the former being a one-off (Sell It, Swap It I think it was called) and the latter being a show called Cheap Cheap Cheap and it was the worst game show I had ever seen! Basically ruined Channel 4 daytime.
I don’t mind the current version with Stephen Mulhern but the drop in prize money to £100k is a little disappointing.

The clocks went forward in the night. Luckily I have nothing planned for a specific time today but that was a shock to wake up to!

If I'd had something important on I would have used my phone alarm rather than just my old digital alarm clock so I would have got the memo.

When people post xoxoxoxox etc on messages as a form of affectation, the o is supposed to represent a hug.

I don't think it's that obvious but I had heard rumours.

Top Bun, the delivery van in Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death, is a pun on Top Gun – took me 17 years to realise.
