Bev's game today.

We have Christmas decorations up in the dream factory.

Noel says we're in the Christmas mood and he says he's run out of ways to describe the show, and he runs through Neil's game again!

Bev has box 17.

Bev is a pathology co-ordinator from Stoke-on-Trent. She talks a bit about her job, and she explains she collects samples from people. She tells a story about a man who brought in a sample in a jacket potato to keep it warm as he misunderstood what they'd told him!

We get to see a pic of her and her twin sister, who's in the audience today. We also get to see some pics of her mum and dad... Bev says she's here to raise money to buy her husband a pigeon! She says some of his pigeons are ill and have picked up chlamydia

Here we go...

The banker says he's very excited as we approach the Scrooge vs Santa week which starts next Monday. He's excited about today because 2 perfect woman are here today, Bev and her twin sister. He asks her to bring a jacket potato when she comes to see him.

Banker's offer:

£1,800

Bev says NO DEAL

Bodie now, and Noel thinks Bev called him 'Bogey'!

Noel says "Oh dearum dearum"

Bev chooses box 5 with Sanjay but Noel gets her to call a break first

Noel has got a good tan since yesterday

And it appears he has also got married and is wearing a ring

Amazing what you can do in 24 hours

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel builds up the fact that Bev wants a pigeon with the money! Sanjay next, and he gives her a kiss before he opens the box!

5 - Sanjay - 10p

Banker time

Lots of them look different to yesterday - I'm assuming this is the first game filmed in October

The banker thinks Bev is lovely and down to earth, and is here for a decent sum of money. Her sister says she shouldn't tell him what sum she wants!

Banker's offer:

£3,001

Bev's sister tells the banker to stuff it!

Bev says NO DEAL

Round 3

Newbie Haz now, and he gives Bev his glasses so she can see better!

22 - newbie Haz - 50p

Noel has a go at Haz for slipping as he opened the box!

Stephen now, and he advises Bev not to open his box...

16 - Stephen - £50

Noel says Gaz looks vacant and he says he thinks he has a blue. Bev's sister speaks up and says about the importance of 13...

12 - Monique - 1p

Banker time

Noel asks if the banker got Stephen from a Star Trek convention!

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Bev's sister says there's probably one more round in it, and she also says that that amount is the sum Bev wanted to go away with! Noel wonders if this is some sort of gameplay as it was so stupid! The banker phones and asks who's stuffed now. He's considering dropping the offer to £8,000. Instead he raises the offer...

NEW OFFER

Banker's offer:

£10,001

Noel says that's one of the most disastrous things that a family member has ever said!

Bev says NO DEAL

Round 4

Noel says this is like Oliver Twist as Bev wants more!

18 - Abbie - £1

Bev gets out the horseshoe from her parents' wedding cake.

7 - Harry - £10,000

1 - Pommy - Noel calls a break, and says he'll try to find out whether Bev is up to some gameplay

Good grief...

Perhaps we should return to the theme of whether all relatives should be sent on a polar expedition without radios to keep them busy when a contestant is appearing on the show.

We're back

Last box before the banker

1 - Pommy - £100

Banker time

Noel gets Bev to confirm that she's not using any tactics. Noel reads the banker and tries to work out what he's going to do. The banker talks about the number 13.

Banker's offer:

£13,013

Bev's friend(?) says she thinks Bev should deal now. The banker phones back and refers to what Bev's sister said earlier about doubling the £10,000. He says the next offer will be £26,026 if she keeps the top 3 in play. Freddie offers some positivity and Pommy tells her it's real money and Lyn says she should take the money if it means a lot to her.

Bev says DEAL
