Good evening! Yet again I've got another weird and potentially wonderful twist on Deal or No Deal, under the provisional title 'Catch 23', though that might change..

We have 28 boxes out there, 14 of them containing cash amounts...

1p
£63
£250
£500
£999
£2,500
£5,000
£10,000
£16,500
£26,000
£50,000
£75,000
£125,000
£250,000

... and the other 14 containing what we'll call 'cards':

QUADRUPLE
TRIPLE
DOUBLE
+£35,000
ADD HALF
+£15,000
+£5,000
-£2,500
-£7,500
-£15,000
75%
HALF
QUARTER
NOTHING

If KP plays to the end of the game tonight, he'll leave with one of those 14 cash amounts, and one of those 14 cards to modify that amount - so potentially, up to £1 million up for grabs!

No boxes come to the table in this game (for now ) and you'll just open the boxes in turn. When there's 11, 8, 6, 4 or 2 amounts or cards left, you'll receive an offer of either cash or a card, respectively. When in live play, the card that is offered will be determined by the state of play of amounts on the left. However, if and when you have dealt a cash offer, any subsequent card offers will be based on how the remaining cards can affect your cash win.

28 boxes out there, and we'll have your first offer after at most five boxes time! Good luck!

8, 2, 4, 6, 10. Let the weirdness begin!!

Let's play it out...

8 - £16,500 Hmm...

2 - £125,000! That's not good which ever way you look at it...

4 - £999 saves you from an emergency crash so early on! BT...

** RING **

The Banker has no idea what will happen tonight, and he probably wants to see more action on the cash board much like you do!

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,001

There's no way that can be right! NO DEAL.

6, 10, 14, 16, 12.

No action on the card half of the board just yet, so let's hope for a good start if we're about to see some!


6 - NOTHING! Perfect!!

10 - -£7,500! That will also indeed help!

14 - £26,000 is goodbye to the Governor, but leaves a 30% chance of a Power 5 win off the left!

16 - 75%! An ABR on the cards, brilliant news! BT...

** RING **

The Banker is annoyed at how well you've done on the cards to kick off with, and would rather like you to leave it well alone right now!

BANKER'S OFFER

140%

Already would give a meaty 40% inflation to any cash win you have!

EV of that menu is *checks, triple-checks* about 1.5x + £3k. So that offer isn't bad, but I think I want to NO DEAL anyway, the Banker might think he can get me out cheap on the cash aspect if I've got a purely multiplier-driven modifier.

12, 18, 22, 20.

On we go, still in play on both halves of this board!


12 - HALF! Still going at those blue cards!! Keep it going!!

18 - £250! That will do perfectly!

22 - £5,000! At this stage, so will that! BT...

** RING **

The Banker's getting rather angry now with the positive direction of both boards now!

BANKER'S OFFER

£24,680

Just two to open at a time on the cash board now bear in mind...

Definitely liking those pot odds in that context, especially with the modifiers looking delicious. NO DEAL.

20, 24, 26.

Liking the look of the big values and the big modifiers! They have to stay in tact for quite some time if you want them...


20 - QUADRUPLE!! Well... That changes things...

24 - £2,500 is great news! We get an offer regardless after the BOOYEAH! box...

26 - TRIPLE! Unfortunately brings us down to earth on the cards... BT...

** RING **

The Banker is relieved to see those two huge cards go, especially with the state of play going on on the left!

BANKER'S OFFER

107% + £3,333

... where the 7% comes into play first, then the £3,333 is added on afterwards!

The Banker needed those!

DEAL. Gives me a base camp for the cash assault on the other side.

28, 25, 27...

We've got a card locked in! A 7% cash boost plus a guaranteed £3,333 as it stands! All eyes on the left now, we've got a great board going on...


28 - £63! PERFECT! BT...
