Alex's game today.

Noel talks about the fascinating, inspirational and emotional games we've had lately. He says some people are really surprised when their name gets called to play, and he runs through some of the players who are on the radar to play...

Had the £100k yesterday. Hopefully a big red today.

Oh dear, a huge red yesterday, get ready for a blue win

Alex has box 22.

Alex speaks about how his grandfather moved from Hungary to the UK when he was 14. He has his girlfriend Gemma in the audience, and she explains that they first met when they were 1 year old, and then met again when they were 21, and Alex recognised her! Noel asks if it was because she was wearing a nappy

He shows a pic of him and Gemma in a pub in Hungary, and another pic of their dog on a boat... Noel asks Alex about the feelings he has for boxes, and he says it's a coincidence he has box 22 and has done 22 shows...

Here we go....

Round 1

16 - Craig - £100,000

Noel says that's what Alex had yesterday. Bibs now, and Noel talks about how she's had big values in her boxes.

2 - Bibs - £250,000

Alex says he doesn't believe it! Noel says that was awful!

3 - Mike - £1

7 - Mary - £3,000

8 - Angela - £500

Banker time

And that's only the second time we've seen the biggest two amounts revealed in the first two boxes.

Anybody remember the baby-faced contestant who did it before?

Noel says what an opener. The banker can be heard laughing wildly down the phone!! He then chats up Alex's girlfriend. He promises no mind games...

Banker's offer:

£500

Alex says NO DEAL

Now that's not the way to start

I think it's game over already

Round 2

Newbie Peter now, and Noel has some banter with him about his home town...

15 - newbie Peter - £15,000

6 - Emma - £20,000

Noel says we need a quiet moment now, and gets Alex to call the break by saying some Hungarian...

Don't be ridiculous, he has plenty of money left on that board

Not if those reds keep going

We're back

Last box before the Banker.

Noel tells a story about how as a taxi driver, Alex helped a lady into her house with the shopping, and her husband attacked him with a hammer!!!

19 - Carl - £5,000

Banker time

Noel says this is a bad day for touchy-feely people, and says Alex was about 75% accurate in his predictions before. The banker says he feels sympathy for Alex!

Banker's offer:

£500.45

Alex says NO DEAL

Round 3

Alex runs through the boxes he's keeping for now (1, 14, 12). Caz recommends a speed round, so we have one!

17 - Clare - 10p

11 - Caz - 1p

20 - Michelle - 50p

Banker time

Noel says no-one in the history of the show has ever taken out 1p, 10p and 50p and Alex is the first person to do it. The banker says that's the worst quickie he's ever had and he can't believe it!

Banker's offer:

£6,500

Alex says thanks, that's a very nice offer.

Alex says NO DEAL

Is Melanie from June 2006 on the phone to her lawyer right now? Because she should be.

Nope, he's doomed. Had a huge red yesterday you see.
