Harry's game today.

Today's show is the first of this year's Santa vs Scrooge Christmas specials. The titles and music have been given a Christmassy revamp! The set is decorated out as Santa's workshop, and all the contestants and Noel are dressed as elves!

Noel says he's King Elf and he says the person in charge of wrapping in the workshop is useless.

Santa vs Scrooge 2009 Gameplay:

If a player gets to 5-box, they can open a mince pie, a carrot or a bottle of sherry. There's 1 Scrooge and 2 Santas. If they reveal SANTA, they get an offer after every box and win a holiday for 2. If they find SCROOGE, then the banker looks in their box, their is no offer after every box but a SWAP at 2-box is guaranteed.

Harry has box 7.

Harry, whose real name is John, is a computer operator from Hull. He talks about how he was a forklift operator and had a crash, and on another occasion a forklift truck ran over his foot! Noel tells a story about how Harry built a bicycle and the handlebars fell off when he first used it!

We get to see a pic of Harry's son and daughter, and he says he'd love to get money to improve their lives, as he's living with his father after getting divorced.

Here we go...
