Mark's game today.

Noel hopes our weekend is wonderful and packed with anticipation, he says the wings are as well, as quite a few of the contestants are on the radar to play now. Mary doesn't want to play today, and she has asked to stay for the whole year

Well his last two games two of the power five. From the lowest to the next one up.

Hope his red run continues.

Oh dear, the player selection machine has done it again

He's had two big amounts, and if the past is anything to go by, I predict he'll have a blue in his box

Mark has box 18 today. Mark hopes he has put the box in the right place, and he has but it is the wrong way around Mark is a self-employed plasterer, and Noel asks if it is lonely doing it on his own. Mark has his wife in the audience, and Noel asks about the illness that has recently struck her, and Mark starts to tell the story of how they found out about her illness, but Noel has to finish off the story of how they discovered she has a brain tumor and how they are fighting against it.

Mark says the only target he has is the £250,000.

Here we go...

Lets hope the red/blue/red/blue/red sequence of winnings this week doesn't finish off today.

Round 1

7 - £10,000 Debbie

12 - £1 Carl

16 - £3,000 Kate

4 - £50,000 Sarah

Pip next, and he says he has had 16 blues in 17 games!

6 - £750 Pip

Banker time

According to our sister site, Pip's had 15 blues not 16

That is a good start says Mark, and Noel asks if he is not worried about the £50,000 going, and Mark replies that he has not come for that amount. The Banker calls and says he is worried about the newbie who is wearing a kilt, and he overheard that Mary wanted to know if he is a real Scotsman, and Walter flashed her in the green room!!! The Banker thinks he has Mark sussed, and doesn't think that Mark will play all the way to the end.


Banker's offer:

£7,500

Mark says

NO DEAL

Next round

Mark says that his favourite number is 22, but that is the death box! He is also worried as Eddie has it as well

1 - 10p Kerrie

19 - £75,000 Len "Mr Benidorm"!

That is a big hole now says Noel, and he calls a break... Noel says that Walter will do a cartwheel across the studio during the break!!

Ouch for that one but he'll be okay if he can keep the two biggie's in

We're back
Last box before the Banker
Noel is fanning Mary as she recovers from Walter's 5 cartwheels!!

17 - 50p Ade


Banker time

That could have been a lot worse says Noel, and the Banker says that he enjoyed Walter's cartwheels as well

Banker's offer:

£7,500

Big holes in each power 5... interesting configuration, one prone to turning quickly.

Mark says

NO DEAL

That hole is massive now with the £35,000 and £100,000 now gone!

Next round

11 - £100,000 Winston

The hole gets bigger says Noel

20 - £35,000 William

Wow that's another of the power 5 exclaims Noel...

10 - £1,000 Maureen

Banker time

£7,500 would take out a scared player. I think there may be an eight-box Deal pencilled in this game for the average one.

That is a very good offer!

My cautious side is tingling here...

That was a horrible round says Noel, but Mark remains confident. The Banker doesn't believe that Mark will carry on playing as long as the £250,000 is still in play, as he is too reasonable. He was going to offer £3,750 until Mark turns to his wife and says the Banker doesn't know him.


Banker's offer:

£7,500
