Mary's game today.

Noel says he wants to reiterate that the players do not know when they are going to play.

suspicious sounding comment from noel there

Mary has box 18.

Mary puts her box the wrong way round on the table! Mary used to work in teaching cooking, often to people with learning difficulties. She says it was a very rewarding job. Mary has her husband Norman in the audience today, and they've been married for 58 years! He says they met when he was doing an ice-cream round, which he used to do...

Mary shows a picture of Norman with the old ice-cream business and the bike they used with it, and another pic of them on their wedding day... she has a pig ornament with her.

Here we go....

Mary doesn't have a system but has a couple of numbers that mean something to her.

15 - Kate - 1p Perfect start

5 - Ginette - £20,000

8 - newbie Sarah - £50,000

Sarah asked for a hug from Noel but he told her to open her box

17 - Michelle - £10,000

13 - David - £250

Banker time

Noel says that was a weird round. The banker talks about Cleethorpes with Noel...

Banker's offer:

£6,500

An okay start

Mary says she has a daughter who lost her husband and she wants money to go with her on holiday.

Mary says NO DEAL

That's made a pretty pattern on the rhs of the board

4 - Sharna - £250,000

"OH NO that's at the wrong time!" says Noel...

1 - Stephen - £100,000

Noel says the odds of taking out the top 3 in a single round are 1 in 680 and only one guy has done it, called Stuart

Noel calls a break

OH NO!!!

Disaster already!

Just as I thought that Noel was actually getting the maths right for once -- the chance of removing the top three remaining on the board in Round 2 is indeed 1 in 680 -- he then ruins it by saying that Stuart was the only person to have done it. Doesn't he remember that Stuart took out the biggest three amounts during Round 4, at which stage it's a 1 in 165 chance?!

We're back

19 - Martin - £100

Banker time

The banker likes Mary's pig ornament...

Banker's offer:

£650

Mary says NO DEAL

11 - Bessie - £500

10 - Carol - £3,000

3 - Hassan - £35,000

Banker time

Oh wow, this is so unlucky, says Noel...

Banker's offer:

Only £75k at 11-box remains, I think were in for another Victory for the Banker

Mary says NO DEAL

14 - Cal - 10p

16 - Laura - £750

Mary calls the break and asks us to support her
