Joe's game today.

Noel welcomes us and says that he hopes we're having a good weekend, and that DOND will make it even better. He talks about the week we've had, and how the worst game was Jay's 10p game. He talks about Ashleigh's game and says how she took great money away, but should've gone on. Noel says Ashleigh had placed a cosmic order and if she'd believed in it, she'd have gone away with £100k. He says this is spooky.

Havent really noticed Joe much apart from the Mr. Bean thing

I hope he's Gunner have a good game!

Joe has box 19 today.

Noel encourages the use of positivity. Joe Campbell from Bristol is our player today. Noel says that Joe looks like Mr. Bean He is a secondary English school teacher. He has his female partner Jo in the audience with him. He has a daughter called Olivia. He supports Arsenal in the football. He does everything with Olivia, including the football.

He has no lucky charms with him as he believes you make your own luck. He has no lucky numbers or system either. He believes this is his one and only shot at the game.

Here we go...

Noel asks Clive how the farm is, and Clive says he's been told to say he's missing his grandchildren, but he can't remember their names

6 - Louise - £35,000

5 - Hayley - £750

Time for the banker...

The banker rings up quickly

Apparently something has happened on the bus to the studio, and it involved Orry. The banker wants to know the story... Orry says we'll be here a while... he says he was quite sensible really - they had a nasty coach driver who wouldn't let them stand up or sing and he said they have to wear the seatbelts. But Orry couldn't find the seatbelt, so he tied up the seatbelt from the other seat and he couldn't get out of the chair and he had to be cut out... it was videoed and photos were taken of it - a picture of Orry sitting in the bus in just his underpants is shown on the gameboard

The banker says Joe is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in a conundrum

Joe NO DEALS

Joe says he wants an all-blue round and Noel says there are 9 to hit at...

14 - Sandra - £15,000

Silence meets that one

Noel does an impression of Orry and makes fun of the top he's wearing

9 - Orry - £250

10 - Deano - Noel says how he still has the Power 3 although he has removed quite a few reds. He said the English teacher might teach the banker a lesson

Noel calls a break

We're back, Noel says it's an interesting game as it's now quite delicately poised...

10 - Deano - 10p 10 in 10.

Banker time...

Joe says he wants at least one all-blue round as he doesn't want to touch the Power 3.

Noel says the best games have an all-blue round (stating the obvious?! )

Joe has made the banker uncomfortable by talking positively about future rounds

Stuart says it's not a bad offer. He says in the last 2 boxes, Joe's focus changed and that's why he got blues. Jonny says Joe's getting into the flow now and he should carry on

Joe NO DEALS

Joe talks about the Power 3 again

17 - Jonny - £1

Joe is very pleased - the first component of the all-blue round. Noel says in the Power 5 battle, it's 2 - 2

3 - Olly - £10,000

I wish Joe would stop walking around, he's making me dizzy seeing him walking around in the corner of my eye whilst I'm typing!!!

11 - Jules - 1p
