Lou's game today.

Noel talks about the cycles the show seems to follow, and how this week the £250,000 has been going in the first round, and the 1p has stayed to the end. He says we are turning that around today, and the board turns upside down!!

Well, this should be good for Lou hope she can do it...

Oh and here come the waterworks, why Endemol, why?

This intro seems to be lasting for ages.

Lou has box 13 today. Lou is excited about her game and Noel says he will need to calm her down. She is a housewife, and has her husband in the audience for support.

Noel asks Lou if she is happy to talk about the loss of her 5 year old daughter a few years ago, and Lou explains the circumstances.

Noel tells a story of how Lou's husband took her away for the weekend and arranged for her drive a tank for the day.

We get to see a few of Lou's family. Lou tells Noel that she will probably leave box 18 to the end.

Here we go...

Round 1

20 - £35,000 Lee

2 - 1p Pammy

That's better says Noel

17 - 50p Newbie Andy

5 - £10 Jen

12 - £10,000 Andrea

Banker time

A good start methinks...

And a very good opening offer

Lou thinks it is an OK start. The Banker says he loves everyone at the moment as they are not costing him anything! But he loves Karina even more as she is destroying lots of games.


Banker's offer:

£9,200

We've not had an offer that high for a while says Noel....

Lou says

NO DEAL

Next round

9 - £20,000 Joyce

14 - £1 Ada

Lou chooses Peter with box 15 next, and Noel says he was willing her to pick Peter so he could sing us into the break! Peter then sings about the Banker loosing his shirt today

Looks good so far

And Peter's Opera singing. that has to be in the best of Season 4

Weird timing so far...a long intro yet the actual game is running fairly fast to catch up so to speak...good start so far anyway!

We're back
Last box before the Banker

15 - £5,000 Peter


Banker time

Endemol have clearly decided to squeeze the actual gameplay in order to fit the introduction but the speed does hint at plenty of gameplay... I guess we'll see how the board and offers go, but it's a very decent start.

Noel tells the Banker the board is looking interesting at the moment, and the Banker says he didn't like Peter's song

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Only an £800 rise after an ok round?!
