tvark.org/deal-or-no-d...

Des Lynam makes his debut as the new host of Countdown. Replacing the much missed Richard Whiteley.
Sky Three launched on 31 October 2005. A mixture of classic programmes and occasional showcases from other Sky channels. The channel was renamed Pick TV in 2013 and renamed again in 2023 as Sky Mix. Deal or No Deal is a gameshow that was originally presented by Noel Edmonds from 31 October 2005 to 23 December 2016 on Channel 4. It was revived by ITV and hosted by Stephen Mulhern. It was broadcast on ITV1 from 20 November 2023. 22 boxes, £250,000 (Channel 4)/£100,000 (ITV1) top prize, just one question - "Deal or No Deal?" A contestant winning is determined by luck – cash amounts are randomly allocated to each of the boxes prior to the game, with contestants required to open a specific number of boxes per round of the game to eliminate the cash amounts their chosen box does not contain, in turn affecting how much is offered by the Banker. Games always end with the player opening all of the boxes, including their own, regardless of how they intend to make money. Cheetah Television West production for Channel 4 (2005-9). Remarkable Entertainment for Channel 4 (2009-16) and ITV (2023 onwards). On 31 October 2005, the new series of Countdown began. It was the debut of Des Lynam as host, replacing Richard Whiteley who had passed away after the last series. Des hosted until December 2006.

I love Ms Warwick and went to see her when I was pregnant, and cried throughout. She told loads of stories about how much she hates Cilla Black, which is reason enough to love her. #TOTP

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: obvious Les and Cilla Battersby's marriage is a Status Quo-aided disaster of a type that doesn't even hint at realism.
