Well, we now know this Banker can be taken for more than £50,000 at least, thanks to Aaron in the last game. He even beat the £93,500 total given up by the deputy Banker to set a new record win of £107,000! But it's not the jackpot, so the rollover remains, £540,000 now to play for... and DANIEL to play for it, making his series debut!

There are six ways this game could be played every night (or day, when the Banker isn't in bat mode), and I need you to pick a number from 1-6 to decide which of these it'll be...

Hello KP and hello all, it's an absolute pleasure to be back in the hot seat by the pound table, morning east wing, blue, blue, blue! Morning west win---eh? what? What do you mean, there's no pound table? What do you mean, it's not 2006 like I keep blabbering on about? You - you're not Noel Edmonds! Who are you and what are you doing in my house?

Ahem, sorry, er, right, yes, Deal Or No Deal, OK, super, smashing, great. Deal!

OK, back to earth. Right, I'll have ye olde favourite number 4 please David!

We're in the future. They do things differently round here. Let's see how differently... your game mode for this will be...



Same mode that Aaron won big on last time!

Alright then! Most of this board will be familiar, but there are a couple of changes. Firstly, the rolling jackpot, and the fact that the top two backups have been cranked up to 25% and 15% of that jackpot. Secondly, three of the boxes are now prize boxes, of varying values.

If you happen to open Box 23, you will have these five possibilities:

DOUBLE
ADD MAXI
ADD MIDI
ADD MINI
NOTHING

So it's double, nothing, or gain a prize of some description. Could be anything from a car to an avocado. Really.

It's the same as a regular game in all other respects. You have Box 2 chosen at random as yours, and you'll need five others to open before the first offer. This should be a ton of fun. GAME ON!

I don't know what that is, but I know it's going to be good!

And there we see the great Achilles heel of the web forum, in all its glory - two people reply at exactly the same time and only one ends up looking like a wazzock...take a bow, yours truly

OK, this looks promising. The avocado, I mean - the money's great and all, but you can't beat a good consoling avocado after losing everything in a game of Deal or No Deal.

My first five, in no particular order, other than the order in which I've selected them, will be 1, 5, 19, 17 and 12, please!

Well, Deal or No Deal is about timing. If your decision timing is as good as your comic timing, the Banker will not have it easy.

Box 1 - £20,000. Not ideal, but if the other four are lower we'll be laughing.

Box 5 - £10,000. Right, keep that direction going and eventually we'll get some actually good results!

Box 19 - MIDI PRIZE! Like that!

Box 17 - £1,000 Maybe another blue to finish things off?

Box 12 - £1! Got it! And a low one at that. Lovely stuff.

Any time you keep the Power 5 intact throughout the first round, it's pretty good. When that Power 5 has been enhanced like it has in this game, even better.

What's the opening offer?

BANKER'S OFFER

£11,500 + AVOCADO

Well, if you want that avocado, you can have it and £11,500. Or you can play on and open three more boxes. Deal or No Deal?

Well, David, I will just say, if I may, that it's been a great ride so far. No, scratch that, it's been a great ride. But to tell you the truth, to cut a long story short, I went out grocery shopping earlier and didn't find what I was looking for.

I didn't agree to play this game for the money.

I only came here for an avocado.

Therefore...

After careful consideration...


with thanks to the banker for his extraordinarily generous offer...


it's my pleasure to say...
























NO DEAL!

Om nom nom, we carry on! Three more boxes.

Three more boxes, three more boxes. Actually there's a few more than that, because we haven't opened them all yet, but I know what you mean...

I'll go with 22, 21 and 20 please!

There are indeed plenty more boxes. Here's three of them. The ones with the highest numbers on the outside, hopefully not on the inside.

Box 22 - 10p! Well that one certainly wasn't big on the inside.

Box 21 - 50p! Nor was that! This is actually turning into an extremely strong game the likes of which we rarely see...

Box 20 - £81,000! And, if that box is anything to go by, won't see here either. But still four massive boxes in play!

The bad news is you took out one of your Power 5. The good news is you paired it with two at the other end.

No avocado this time, but plenty of cash...

BANKER'S OFFER

£17,000

That will ripen your bank account for sure! Or you could play on looking for something even juicier with the jackpot in play and three others higher than the offer. Deal or No Deal?

Well, look, Banksy, mate, it's a good offer and all that, but it's just not quite enough, you know? There's...there's just something missing...

I mean, look here, right, it's not practical, is it? If I waltz up to the checkout at Morrisons with an avocado in my hand and the lady says, 'that'll be 29p please' and I say, 'sorry, I've only got a cheque for £17,000'...



No Deal!

Which boxes have I got left, please?

Still available for selection: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18.

Three of those for round number three.

Thanks, I'll go with 3, 11 and 15 next please

And here they are!

Box 3 - £5,000. Not the kind of red the Banker wanted to see. Good.

Box 11 - £135,000! That, on the other hand, is. But the jackpot remains...

Box 15 - £250! Nice way to end the round!

At the halfway stage, it's not looking as amazing as it threatened to be, but it's still good!

£16,500 + AVOCADO

But he's added the avocado back! So you might still be more tempted Deal or No Deal?
