HATE IT but watch every episode! Blush

it is compulsive!

pmsl how they try to make out you can affect it in some way - pick a box at random - NOBODY has any control! no 'system' works!!

pmsl at all this banker stuff - the banker has respect for the way you are playing the game?! WTF so stupid!

I sit there PRAYING for the big numbers to come out if I've decided i don't like the person in the seat!

Love to hate it.

Remember Geordie? He was so uptight he had to be carted off to hospital and they put him on the next show before he carked it! No sympathy - pmsl throughout the show and rofl when he dealt for £20Grin

I know I am being daft but do you think the banker really exists

Mytwopenceworth · 16/03/2006 22:48

a person on the other end of the phone exists cos the contestants sometimes speak to him - he'll be the floor manager or something!!

I hate it but my parents love it. I just don't get the point, all that tension and Noel asking if they have a game plan/a stratagy/the banker/all the talk of skill???

Was subjected to this every day for a week when staying with relatives recently

Hated it

ds1 loved it and asked to watch "the money boxes programme" when we got home.

Er no.

threelittlebabies - are you SERIOUS about being gutted about Geordie? I thought he was a complete a*se!

Part of my growing up was him on MCSS SmileSmileSmile

Yes, why? Blush I may have missed something though...what was wrong with him?

Report
TicTacsMum · 16/03/2006 23:44

Completely OTT, over-excited, overzealous - seemed to want to milk his 15 minutes of fame at every opportunity. Didn't buy his 'compassion' for other contestants.

Most cringe-worthy moment at the end when he went away with £20 - "I'm a rich man - I'm a Geordie - I live in the Scottish Highlands..." was laughing too much to remember the rest.

How sad to get wound up over this eh?


BTW, my sister vaguely works with him and can confirm that he is a tosser.

Noel is one of the most cringeworthy creepy men on tv Various scurrilous stories about him on popbitch.

you watch because of Noel Edmonds [incredulous emoticon], I thought that was one of the many reasons to avoid it altogether!

According to my mate Dai who was on Wednesdays show, there are 3 people in the room on the other end of the phone. The bloke in charge of finances for the company and two other bigwigs

I dont mind it, dont understand why they try to play the game though, just open the damn boxes!

zippi, even my love for Noel, won't galvanise me into watching it

it was all fixed for the first month or so (well they say no-one realised but the supposedly random allocation of money to the boxes wasn't random and followed a sequence)
