To REALLY want to know who the Banker is on Deal Or No Deal?

[loopylou6]

And to also wonder where all the money comes from?

I'd love to know who he is too - has he actually been heard to speak or is it the producer sitting in a booth offstage somewhere? And if the Banker does exist - is he a Banker or a struggling out of work actor?

I'm going with "TV Producer" myself.

Elvis.

Hmm well he (or could even be a she?) Has been heard laughing down the phone to Noel. I don't think its a real banker, I'd go for producer or the like.

You're unreasonable for watching that pile of shite

which I realise wasn't your question, but even so...

I doubt there is a wanker, oh I mean banker.

All hype, don't watch it myself though.

How can anyone not like it?

It's eeny meenie miney mo.

And it is toe-curlingly embarrassing with the talk of the powerful game or the clever game or whatever it is they go on about.

There's no strategy. There's no control. They are picking numbers! WTF are they on about?

I watched it when it first started. As you do. Very quickly I wanted to put my boot clean through the TV set.

This makes me laugh...

I read somewhere once he is an actor and he used to play a policeman in corrie who went out with fiona the hairdresser.

Rumour has it that the banker is Glenn Hugill - I went to the same school as him, and our local paper "outed" him a few years ago.

He is an actor - lots of Shakespearian stuff and some time in Corrie. One of the most intelligent people I've ever met.

It's one of the producers.. and the money comes from ch4 and the sponsers
