The final game before the Crossover Series features a debutant player... with a unique perspective. It's DAVID!

"Our very own h2005" gets to play for a jackpot of £640,000 in this game... will the jackpot be reset for the first time? The Banker might secretly hope so at this point with some of the combinations he could face next! But first, for the final time in this series' history, it's 1-6 to pick from this mix...

Hello! It's a pleasure to play.

Option 2 please.

The Banker is looking forward to this as well! And your rules of engagement will be...

Which means we've not seen the Doctored Board in all of 3.2!

Anyway, you have a straightforward enough game here, and it's played on this board:

1p
10p
50p
£1
MINI PRIZE
£10
£50
£100
£250
£500
MIDI PRIZE
£1,000
£3,000
£5,000
£10,000
MAXI PRIZE
£20,000
£35,000
£50,000
£96,000
£160,000
£640,000

...and, if you win any cash, it'll come with an option on this Box 23.

DOUBLE
ADD MAXI
ADD MIDI
ADD MINI
NOTHING

You've got Box 15 on the table. Five in round one, normal box-opening rules apply. GAME ON!

Hopefully those are great prizes!

First 5:

4, 9, 10, 12 and 6 please.

Well the maxi prizes should be, the others not so much! You can check the full list on the rules/announcements thread.

Box 4 - £50,000! Not ideal, but there's three rather bigger at least!

Box 9 - £1! Following up the fourth-largest with the fourth-smallest

Box 10 - £5,000 isn't too bad, and following up with symmetry would mean £250... make it so?

Box 12 - £250! Wow!

Box 6 - 1p! Well, that ought to be brilliant news, but after that symmetry, the Banker may have his own take...

"It's symmetry time!" the Banker declares as his first words on the phone.

10p
50p
MINI PRIZE
£10
£50
£100
£500
MIDI PRIZE
£1,000
£3,000
£10,000
MAXI PRIZE
£20,000
£35,000
£96,000
£160,000
£640,000

Something to note here is that the Banker has a range of offers he can make at any time, based on the board. He's making the lowest symmetrical offer he can possibly make here to start!

BANKER'S OFFER

£10,101

It's a binary choice - Deal or No Deal?

Nice symmetry!

NO DEAL though.

Next 3:

11, 8 and 5 please.

This first box of the second round is unusually tense...

Box 11 -


Box 8 - 50p, nice!

Box 5 - £1,000! This will be an interesting phone call now...

The symmetry has gone, but the Banker notes that it could be fixed by taking out the £640k and £96k in the next two boxes.

10p
MINI PRIZE
£10
£50
£100
£500
£3,000
£10,000
MAXI PRIZE
£20,000
£35,000
£96,000
£160,000
£640,000

Still, it's a much-improved offer.

BANKER'S OFFER

£20,202

Doubled! And keeping the symmetry, of course. Deal or No Deal?

Hopefully the offers will keep on doubling...

NO DEAL

Next 3 please:

16, 3 and 7.

On we go to 11-box! But will we get £40,404?

Box 16 - £50! With boxes like that, we can't rule it out!

Box 3 - £3,000... this is some game!

Box 7 - £500!! Maybe the best board this series has ever had?!?

Seven of the top eight at 11-box. The Banker is pretty sure that's a first.

10p
MINI PRIZE
£10
£100
£10,000
MAXI PRIZE
£20,000
£35,000
£96,000
£160,000
£640,000

The Banker did a check of his offer range, and came back with a 404 error: doubling not found.

He'll still give you 404 in the offer, though!

BANKER'S OFFER

£404 + AUDI A4 AVANT

That is a £30,660 car, plus £404 that would presumably then go on Box 23 to try and get you another great prize! Deal or No Deal?

It's a shame the doubling wasn't found, but not a bad offer! Something else that's not being found now is a deal just yet.

NO DEAL

Next 3 please:

19, 13 and 22.

We've never had an 11-box Deal in this series, interestingly! Will that change some day?

Box 19 - £160,000! Maybe it should have changed today... that's the big hit he's been waiting for...

Box 13 - £10! Just three blues left... if THIS is blue, wow!

Box 22 -

It's 6-2 at 8-box, and just when it looked like it was going to be a harder ride, you follow it up like that!

10p
MINI PRIZE
£10,000
MAXI PRIZE
£20,000
£35,000
£96,000
£640,000

The Banker does say that he thinks the best box on the board for him is still in play, and that will influence his offers. That box is the MINI PRIZE, because if you win that, there's not even a Box 23 consolation.

This offer is very much not a consolation.

BANKER'S OFFER

£40,404 + APPLE iMAC PRO

That iMac Pro comes complete with a server-grade Intel Xeon processor and Radeon Pro graphics and a 27" 5K display, and is £4,899 courtesy of John Lewis & Partners! And of course you have the £40,404 you wanted earlier. Deal or No Deal?

That's a nice offer! There's only two boxes above the offer so carrying on would probably be an unworthwhile risk.

Therefore....

DEAL

My next three would've been:

20, 18 and 17.

DEAL for £40,404 and that iMac Pro! It would have been a huge risk to turn that down, but would it have paid off?

Box 20 - £10,000... maybe it would?!?

Box 18 - £96,000 and it's now simply about finding that jackpot!

Box 17 -

It was great at 8-box and it's still great now...

10p
MAXI PRIZE
£20,000
£35,000
£640,000

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£40,404 + AUDI A4 AVANT

Would have had the best of both previous offers!

Ah, fair enough!

Next 3 would've been: 21, 14 and 2 please.
