Affari Tuoi is the Italian version of the Deal or No Deal format, first broadcast on Rai 1 in 2003. In the show the unseen Dottore, the equivalent of the Banker, phones the studio to offer money to end the game or to swap the contestant's box. Those calls became the most recognisable ritual of the programme, instantly signalling a turning point. Clips of the call now circulate on Italian social media and soundboards as a shorthand for suspense, bargaining and dramatic offers.
