Well it's been a long time since I've been here as a host, but I'm back (and ABC will be put to the side fo the time being), and KP will be playing the first game back after our hiatus!





You remember those sixtwists don't you? Let's hope one of them is about to guide you to a fortune tonight!

Number 4, please

Number 4...




It's our good old Unlimited Minutes! You're in control of the phone, and you can get offers whenever you like! Box 19 has been randomly allocated to you, and away we go! Good luck!

I've had a fair few of those!

Going with my usual tactic of hitting all the evens, Box 8 first and then ascending order, to get what in this case will be an 11-box offer!

Alrighty, up the evens we go!


8 - £50,000 isn't quite what we wanted to kick off...

2 - £750 is more like it!

4 - £100

6 - £1

10 - £250,000! Well that would have been a horrid Round 1 in standard game terms, but we have six boxes now to try and recover as best as we can from that!

12 - £250 the blue one this time!

14 - £50

16 - £10, let's keep 'em coming...

18 - £15,000 - nothing higher than that please...

20 - £35,000 - getting uncomfortable!

22 - 10p! That brings us to the half way mark!

BT...

** RING **

Well the Banker loved that round as a whole, but thinks that you may me slightly more risk averse now that the ceiling has been brought down to £100k, so he can't afford to be cheap with you!

I need your initial ofer prediction please, make it count, we'll be replacing £1k £3k and £5k momentarily with some yellow boxes!

Well, the colour balance is nice, so naturally I get that in an Aaron yellow box game

The Banker might be stingier because I'm losing oranges...? £214.5k on the board, though, and only four blues still can't be that bad a thing. Half the mean would be almost £10k, I'm pretty sure it's short of that...

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£8,700

It puts £9.5k and £7,950 both in the 10% bracket, and anything between those two would leave me entirely unsurprised!

Coming in at eight-seven...

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,750

... and you were just £50 out!! 0.57% means you get to add two large and one medium yellow out of the sets of five boxes! What will they be?

Blimey. I thought about £8,750 as well but I can't exactly complain!

Medium 1, large 3 and 4.

Here they come then...

1M - £7,500

3L - £40,000
4L - £125,000

... and you have a new jackpot!



But the offer stands, as he's not in control of the phone, at £8,750. Deal or No Deal?

NO DEAL, obviously.

Let's go with 15 and 21.

Clearly! Two boxes...


15 - £500! Just three remain!

21 - £5!! And now just two!!

Would you like to make a call now or keep on going?

I'll go with the call here!

** RING **

The Banker really regrets the decision to allow us to use these yellow boxes in Season 3! His atitude has changed a lot and now is trying to get you out of that chair as soon as possible!

But how generous has he been? Do you feel confident to post your second prediction here?

I was anticipating doing some sort of damage and predicting £17,450 (the sum of my prediction and the actual offer), but that's clearly inadequate for this board. No prediction here.

Well it's not quite that...

BANKER'S OFFER

£28,888

THAT is where we are already, because of the sheer strength of that board!! But then again, you're in control of the phone...

... but at £28,888 David... Deal or No Deal?

I might have gravitated towards £26k if I did have a prediction, and bang on that number would have left me agonisingly out of the 10% band. I suspect that's why this is the offer, to be honest!

NO DEAL, because of that stability and the fact I have the prediction in my pocket for some sort of bonus. I'll open two to prove I'm not afraid: 11 and 13 are those two.

I'm loving this game already, how much higher can we take it?!


11 - 50p!! You aren't about to... you know... are you?!?!

13 -

It's your call now if you want to make a call yourself...
