Colin's game today.

Noel says everyone is feeling really good at the moment, apart from the Banker who has paid out £250,000 twice now, although it has been to women both times and the men don't seem to have what it takes to win the ultimate prize!

No more Jeff?

Colin has box 8 today. Colin Spring is from Bridgewater, and is medically retired, he tells Noel about his 26 year old beard and says he has grown it to help the planet Colin is mad about motorbikes and tells Noel how he was fascinated since a young lad much to his mum's frustration, and he explains about his tattoos as well. He has brought along an instant tattoo for Noel and puts it on his arm


Here we go...

Round 1

7 - 50p David (H2005)

20 - £250 Chris

3 - £500 Margaret

What a great start says Noel

6 - £5 Ian

Noel says he can't remember the last all blue opening round

5 - £250,000 Carol

Banker time

Whoops

That was a spectacular way to wreck that round says Noel! The Banker says he loved that and the reaction that the last box got!

Banker's offer:

£6,500

Colin says there is one thing he has always wanted to do and explains about his great aunt who moved to Australia and no one has been able to visit her and he would love to go and visit...

Colin says

NO DEAL

Round 2

Derrick or slippery fingers as Noel now calls him!!

14 - 10p Derrick

13 - £1,000 Newbie Natalie

Noel thinks he may end up with another tattoo during this break!

Colin does seem like a nice person....I hope he does well.

One thing I have wondered is....when did the habit of getting up out of the chair and walking around and individually thanking people for the amounts in their boxes with a kiss, handshake, nose rub or whatever actually start. ? Iam sure it didnt use to be like that when the series first started. I do find the pacing about a bit tedious at times and often wish they would just get on with the game

We're back
Last box before the Banker
Noel introduces Colin's mate Kevin who is in the audience for support today.

16 - £10 Steve


Banker time

Noel thinks the loss of the £250,000 is not affecting Colin's game now... He says that the Banker sounds like a moaning teenager at the moment!

Banker's offer:

£11,000

Colin says

NO DEAL

Round 3

15 - £10,000 Lisa

10 - £100 Anna

18 - £50 Linz


Banker time

Wow, what a board Colin has.

Noel tells Colin to keep rubbing his tummy as it is working well for him. The Banker tells Colin to stop it

Banker's offer:

£20,000

I'd be gone at £20,000!

That is a chunk of money says Colin... Carol tells Colin that he will start to take out reds now, and he needs to decide how lucky he feels today.

Colin says

NO DEAL

£20,000? Average is £27,000. I'm gone.

Round 4

17 - £1 Stephen

Noel tries to remember if we have ever got to 8-box with only reds remaining

1 - £20,000 Cheri

Noel calls a break...

I'd have dealt at £20,000
