So it has been a week since I have arrived in the UK and I finally got to my first taping - Deal or No Deal - today in Bristol.
To say it was good would be a gross understatement.
From the time I arrived at 8.30 am in the morning I, along with all of the audience, were treated like we were the only people in the world. The staff at Deal - both on and off screen - were just phenomenal. They took particular in pointing me out as a foreigner and everyone in the audience wanted to say hello afterwards! Not only was I welcomed back for the afternoon taping (which I took them up on) one of the PA's took special care to get me a cue card from the show and an autographed picture of Noel Edmonds, the host. Noel himself was very kind when I got to talk to him briefly during a break.
For those of you who might be going to England in the near future, GO SEE DEAL. I would have to say it was most likely the best television taping experience I have ever had - plus the fact that all three episodes were entertaining for various reasons really was the icing on the cake.
Next stop: Countdown in Manchester on Monday!
Cheers,
Ryan.
