Deal or No Deal

We've had a number of enquiries about how to get onto this very popular show. It seems that they have all the contestants that they need for the moment. The best thing to do is watch the show regularly, they do put contestant calls on air very occasionally. Sorry!

This is a list of other programmes which we believe are currently looking for contestants. When applying, it is usually necessary to include details of: your name, address, age, sex, daytime and evening telephone numbers, fax or email (if appropriate), and the name of the show you are applying for.
