Game 5 of Series 5, and AARON is live! There's big money to play for, and over 3,000 ways to play for it... which will we get tonight?

That's what The Configurator decides, with the five permutations for each of player power, Banker power, two-way power, offer pattern, and money menu. Five lots of 1-5 for those.

Let's take 2-2-4-2-5!

What will that give us?

Well, it gives us the nice ability to buy Box 25 with half of the maingame win - with the OG DOUBLE/+£10,000/MONEY BACK/HALF/NOTHING menu that could come in very handy indeed!

Two values are getting two zeroes yoinked, which turn out to be £10,000 and £150,000 (OUCH!), while the five lowest blues become shiny prizes with no 25 option on them.

Resultant board?

On the table is Box 18 and there's five to start in this 5-5-3-3-2-2-1-1 opening pattern. GAME ON!

That went well(!) Anyway, onwards and upwards.

8, 11, 15, 5, 4.

It really was a brutal Banker power... but will it matter?

Box 8 - £5,000, eh...

Box 11 - £75,000! Ooof.

Box 15 - £50! Third-lowest cash amount, nice.

Box 5 - HEADPHONES! And that's your cheapest prize gone too!

Box 4 - iPHONE! Well that round got better!

So at 19-box, we have this adequate situation.

Deal or No Deal?

Understandable, there's plenty more toppings for this ice cream waiting for me though. NO DEAL!

14, 9, 19, 1, 7.

Let's hope we can finally get something better than a vanilla outcome from one of these Series 5 games!

Box 14 - LAPTOP! That helps. Four blues in a row now!

Box 9 - £100! Make that five!

Box 19 - £3,000 ends the run harmlessly, no real momentum loss yet...

Box 1 - £750! Oh this could be the round that changes things...

Box 7 - £254,000! After all that

Not the distinction we wanted to make, but no less positive or true for it - right now it's a good £100k game.

The Banker says everything is set up for another unspectacular result, but he knows you're capable of changing that and winning a blue instead. He added that he had to go down after the jackpot went...

BANKER'S OFFER

...by a quid, apparently. Deal or No Deal?

Yeaaaaaah to be expected! NO DEAL.

17, 6, 10.

Box 17 - £10! Holla holla, you lost your bottom dollar!

Box 6 - £250! Oh hello... now you're down to just three blue cash amounts, and one of them's a red!

Box 10 - £20,000! Finally breaking into that bunch, but that's your best round yet for sure...

The Banker thinks this game's in the balance...

...and he's made an offer accordingly.

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,000 + STACK OF PANCAKES

He says that's a bigger stack than other game shows right now have to offer, because ITV Bat doesn't need a BBC budget! Deal or No Deal?

I could do with something sweet and tasty right now, but the sweet taste of victory is what I'm aiming for right now! NO DEAL.

13, 3, 12.

Don't let this be where it topples...

Box 13 - £15,000 is the fulcrum, and we know which side we want to overload here...

Box 3 - £100,000! But we don't, and it's another show where the pipedream of a six-figure win topples over in a hurry.

Box 12 - £500! Blue, phew

That's what he came to see...

BANKER'S OFFER

£4,000 + 82" TV

That TV is an 82" Samsung worth £1,499 courtesy of John Lewis & Partners, and the Banker says that's as close as you'll get to a huge offer tonight! Or you could play for the 60% chance of defending £9,000... or just play on. Deal or No Deal?

God, that Double 99 really did kill me eh? The prize offer is more attractive here but just not enough, NO DEAL.

20, 24.

If it wasn't there and you stuck the two extra 0s on each of those destroyed values...

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£15,000

But of course that wasn't what you got.

Box 20 - £50,000! Sickening... the Banker is having it so easy right now!

Box 24 -

The Banker says this is on a BBC budget after all. A daytime one.
