    Well they're possibly filmed and shown in the sequence that they choose, which is why most game shows have big winners in the first programme of a series.

    I'm not sure you can get away with that with DOND as the box openers are returning contestants until picked.

    Hmmm felt a bit staged to me. But I am a cynic.

    Used to enjoy it but like everything else it passed its sell by date quite some time ago. Last show jackpot must've been a fix.

    Noel Edmonds used to star alongside his house party in the 90s with Steve Evans. Oh no sorry that was Mr Blobby.

    My mate got through to last stage of auditions for it. Took annual leave to drive down to Bristol and he turned up and basically said he was too normal to get through, people who claim they could understand dogs barking were getting picked etc.

    I can believe that after reading John Ronson's article about hanging out on set for a day.

    I used to watch DOND alot when it first started but it annoyed after a while. The one I always relgiously watched when it was at it's peak was WWTBAM. It got the point where I could take it or leave it. But I watched the last ever episode. I tried to apply a few times but never got a call back. But I went and watched it being recorded in the audience a couple of times. Good fun night out. An oh the Major didn't have much of a defence. The coughing was a little obvious.

    Well if I ever have a pet that I think needs putting down and I can't afford the vets fees, I may take him up in that offer.

    Goodness me.

    Thought this dross finished years ago. Was interesting whilst it was novel, so 3 episodes
    How on earth did it last this long? Was it on ITV 8?

    You can double your money, maybe even go for the big prize, I think you have the gift here, I'm pretty sure you could move on, I know you are top notch, do you want to play with my nonce sense or move on?

    This did smell of rigging somewhat.

    Unless you are nuts or already loaded....who would turn down £66,666 for a 50/50 on £750 v £250k?

    Yup. But he's made a pile of dosh out of it. Wonder what he actually looks like without the hair dye and make up? He's about 70 I think.

    No working class or middle class person would make that gamble....unless they were maybe seriously drunk or drugged up.

    Just wouldn't happen.
