 In recent years the use of independent adjudicators in UK TV game shows has been increasingly popular.The phrase was first used on a regular basis by Noel Edmonds in the Endemol show "Deal or No Deal" in which the independent adjudicator is 'the only person who knows where the money is'.Increasingly, on other game shows, the independent adjudicator is used to carry out random draws where the order of play might have implications for the contestants.
