Tom's game today.

Noel tells everyone to be quiet in the studio as all the contestants had a bit of party with the money that the Banker put behind the bar after Daniel's game. Everyone looks the worse for wear apart from Doreen

And then suddenly everybody looks fine again!

Good acting from the wings seeing as they hadn't had chance to get to the hotel yet.

I wonder how Tom will fare today

Tom has box 7 today. Noel tells everyone to smarten themselves up now, and then asks Tom what is up with his hair Tom says that he has someone around every 3 weeks to put keep it looking like that. Tom has his wife in the audience for support and she tells Noel that they met at a party and next year they will have been married for 50 years Tom tells a story of how he gave Joe Pasquale a shock at his wedding when he turned up with a coach load of people who Joe had joked with a year before about turning up to his wedding

We get to see a few of Tom's photos, and Noel asks Tom about a story when he was in the army, and Tom tells about how he helped save a colleagues life who nearly drowned.

Tom tells Noel that he said he would treat his wife to a trip to Australia if he won over £20,000

Here we go....

And straight after Dan's departure, the offers suffer...

The Banker tells everyone that they did some brilliant acting for their hangovers He is also really impressed with Tom's hair and asks what the secret is to keep hair like that at his age. The Banker is happy that Daniel has gone now as he can get back to his manipulation of the offers!!

Banker's offer:

£800

Tom says


NO DEAL

I'm not sure...

And that was an ok start

I was worried about that but we'll see what happens. He's possibly a 20K targetist anyway.

that was a terrible offer.....even in the pre-Dan days

Round 2

2 - £5,000 Johnny

Ian next and Noel has a chat with him about being a police officer, and Ian tells him he is keeping busy now with the credit crunch and everything, and Noel replies that the credit crunch seems to be helping some people then and keeping them busy...

13 - £100 Ian

Jackie next but Noel calls a break first...

Yep, we are indeed back to the rubbish offers...

It's really too early to tell as the £800 was a semi-joke offer, as if to stamp his authority back down on the players...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

3 - £250,000 Jackie
