Donna's game today.

Noel talks about last week as being a rather odd week with the first and last show producing a £10 win, he says that there are 3 ladies on the radar today and goes over to them to see what sort of reaction they will give if they are chosen. He goes over to Suzi who says she will burst into tears, Kerry says she will go 'Rahhh', and Donna says she will jump up and down and go silly!

Donna has box 7. Noel tells Donna that they have 3 things in common, they both come from the same home town, they are both the same age, and both family support workers. Donna tells a little about her job and then talks about her late nans watch that she carries around for luck, we also see a family pic. Donna has a printout of her stars that she read just before she found out she was coming onto the show, and it talks about big cash prizes for answering questions or opening boxes! She says she doesn't really believe in stars, but does when it suits


Here we go...

Round 1

Donna is going to keep 13 and 21.

Russ first with a turkey impression!

3 - £5,000 Russ

2 - £5 Tracey

14 - £50,000 Marie

Rob next and Noel has yet another hat for him

6 - £75,000 Rob

1 - £1 Suzi

Banker time

The Banker says he is unsettled and shocked by the stars that Donna read out.

Banker's offer:

£11,000

Donna says

NO DEAL

Not bad for a fairly average start.

Round 2

Noel has a pop at Cal over his clothes and finds a hard hat for him to wear!

8 - £10,000 Cal

5 - £1,000 Hassan

Noel calls a break and gets Donna to do the link...

Eleven grand for that start? That's almost dealable!

Sorry everyone I've just had a power cut and can't continue the commentary at the moment!!

Hopefully the power will come back soon.

Have battery backup on my Internet connection and laptop, but not for the TV

Well I wouldn't go that far! But a pleasant change from the usual instant no deal first offers we normally get.

Would love to help but only following via the commentary - nowhere near a TV!

OK guys £15,000 was in the last box (contestant and box number not noted...), and £12,500 was the offer, Donna said NO DEAL to it...

Next round...

Box 18 - James - 50p

Box 20 - newbie Dan - £10

Box 19 - Kate - £250

Good all-blue round!

Banker time...

The Banker says he's found his stars...down the back of the sofa on a laminated piece of paper...amid some banter about Donna winning a blue!

Donna says the Banker has to entice her...hinting at the £250,000!

Banker's offer:

£15,000

Donna reveals while she doesn't have a shopping list, her children do...university fees, driving lessons etc...

Her fellow contestants advice her to be careful, but she thinks it's in the stars!

Donna says

NO DEAL

Thanks for stepping in Davey...

Next round...

Box 10 - Ginette - £500

Noel talks the game up..

Box 15 - Carol - £250,000 NOEL!!!

Noel calls a break...

Are you ok to continue after the break, Davey?

I'll carry on for today!

Thanks. Kestral sent me a PM with a plea of help but I wasn't paying attention to the forum and didn't see it in time

He shouldn't even be doing the commentary today, I asked for a swap as I had a lecture which was due to finish at 4, but it finished earlier so I was home anyway!!

P.S. I thought Chelmsford was the King of the Powercut, not Evesham

We're back!

Last one before 8-box...Noel hopes Donna doesn't take out both the big ones now...

Box 16 - Tristan - 1p

Time for the Banker...
