Gap at Box 2. BIG cheers for Pete as he's chosen.

Dream Factory speech, inevitably leading to mentioning the dream offer yesterday which Noel describes as 'real cracking'. Family mentioned. 'Guys, you've gotta watch it, if you've got a dream he might latch onto it'. More dream offers it seems...

Pete brings Box 14 to the table. 27th game - 'you have no right to look surprised'. He hired a kilt for the show and he's going to put it on at the first break... shades of big gambler Graeme?

He's retired, from Redruth in Cornwall... his wife Dee is there. Two of Pete's other brothers and his dad were called Richard... 'they couldn't think of another name'... long confusing description of why he's called Pete. Noel pulls a rude joke to applause.

He's bought the Cornish flag... and another for the Banker, which Greg ferries over to him. Apparently the Banker is an 'honorary Cornishman' for the day.

Dreams? Just good health, in light of family health problems of late. Including having the same disease that killed two members of his family.

Here we go...

Well we was promised big surprises at the start of the season!

So here we go! How Pete does well and leaves Simon (who replaces him) a warm glowing place to stand!

Good luck

Oh blimey, hang on, the 22 from Maria's game have determined his order of box picking for the game. Interesting.

The gap at Box 2 is Little Rich, who's had 30 hospital operations. Ajay is referred to as 'that twit over there'... now we're off.

I really want him to win BIG!!

Come on Pete, good luck!

Ahh, The £250,000

15 (Ben) - £500

11 (Tony) - £15,000 - 'that's OK' he says instantly.

21 (Peter) - £250,000 - 'Basil' has the biggie. Gee-up applause.

16 (Chris B) - £750 - catflap early on

22 (Brunhilde) - demands for a 'posh' box opening - £75,000 - that'd make anyone posh...

Another game with it going early!

Not a good start

Awwwwwwhhh no, not a great start! but weve seen it turn around!

Everyone will be changing channels now!

I have this strange feeling that his box has 1p in it.

Noel reckons the Banker's waving his flag... he says as much.

'Better to be an honorary Cornishman than an honorary Dick'... oh dear...

It's talked up as a battle between 'the man with no name and the man who's not very sure of his name'. He's intrigued at putting his trust in the fate of others...

OFFER 1 | £6,000

A good offer due to the circumstances.

'What do you think of that?' 'I'm ready for the question'. Although he says it's very respectful...

NO DEAL

17 (Tina) - £20,000 - he says it's OK, Noel disagrees... first thing he's said in a while to make Weaver happy?
8 (Sue?) - £1 - first of the bottom nine to go.

He knows the break is going and rushes off...

BREAK

He's off to fetch his kilt

Good first offer really!

A truly terrible ad for the Mail on Sunday offering a free dance DVD with Anton Du Beke... with what sounds like a bad twist on the Strictly Come Dancing theme music...

This next ad is a bit scary but rather pretty... what is it for? Oh, it's for the Blu-ray disc. Er, yeah.
