There are (just over) 525,000 minutes in a year. There is £525,000 in the jackpot for BEN. Will this be a game we talk about for millions of minutes?

It starts the same way they all start, with a selection from 1-6...

Option 5, please.

And that's...

1, 3, 5, 7 and 11 to start, please.

Out of the gate, it's a regular board.

Not so normal is the money menu, which starts off like this...

MONEY BACK
HALF
NOTHING

Fortunately, you get three prediction chances to improve that. Every time you get within 10% of the offer, you'll get a new positive option. Get within 5%, and you'll get two to choose from, and a 1% band offers you three choices.

You have Box 20 on the table. Five to open in round one. GAME ON!

And there they are. Slightly odd order.

Box 1 - £35,000! Not a good start.

Box 3 - £525,000!! Yikes. Another huge escape for the Banker as the jackpot disappears right away.

Box 5 - £10! Better.

Box 7 - £131,250!! Oh this is cruel.

Box 11 - 50p. Yay?

How lucky was that for the Banker?

Three predictions to use. Is this too soon for the first?

Oh for goodness sake.

No prediction, No Deal (knowing the offer formula won't give me a dealable offer at this stage) and open 13, 15 and 17, please.

Well, the Banker had some fun here.

BANKER'S OFFER

£2,846

NO DEAL it is and we go on.

Box 13 - £5. More like it!

Box 15 - £250! Is this a blue run?

Box 17 - £10,000. Evidently not, but that's still a much better round!

At the second offer, we have this.

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£4,630

An interesting bid...

BANKER'S OFFER

£4,862

Which... is a £232 miss, and that is inside 5%! You get a two-way choice now... it's either TRIPLE or NO-LOSE REDO.

Definitely TRIPLE. I don't think No Lose Re-do helps me much if there's no other positive options.

NO DEAL to the offer and let's go with 21, 22 and 18 next, please.

The upside has definitely increased with that one!

Box 21 - £1,000. Two below that would be LOVELY.

Box 22 - £50! And there's one...

Box 18 - £500! There's the other! You suddenly have some momentum...

This wasn't the game the Banker was dreaming of at 17-box.

We know you've got a TRIPLE on that money menu, but are you using your second prediction?

Is it?

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,777

Oh that's cruel, 11.23% out. At least your first good prediction gave you a really nice option! Still one left of course, and it doesn't have to be in live play... Deal or No Deal?

WAY too low for the board. Show 1,999 Noel was offered £15,000 on the same board without the oranges.

NO DEAL and let's continue with 16, 14 and 12, please.

The Banker rings up to say he made a mistake and forgot to take the £35,000 off the board way back in round 1, which repeated for two rounds, so you looked at the wrong board! Because of that, the prediction was clearly affected, and the fairest thing to do is handing that prediction back. You still have two left as a result.

Box 16 - £20,000. That must be the highest of this round...

Box 14 - £1! PEANUTS! Do it again and you're laughing...

Box 12 - £5,000. It'll do.
