A big thanks to Kestral who will be doing all* the daily show commentaries over the next 2-and-a-half weeks, as I'll be away.

(Although maybe he won't if there's an England football match during DoND. )

Alan's game today.

Noel talks about the last few games and says we were a day out, as Jodie left too soon but could've had more, and Mikey went to the end and had a poor game.

Hope this game goes really well.

There is only one England game that's on at the same time as this...

Alan has box 7.

The Wurzels' "I am A Cider Drinker" plays as Alan takes the walk of wealth. Alan is a retired cider maker, and says he did it all his working life, and he now does it as a hobby. He says he got into it because of his father, and really enjoys cider! Alan shows a pic of his 3 daughters, and he has 2 of his grandsons in the audience today. We also get to see a pic of all Alan's grandchildren, and a pic of his dog!

Alan has a bottle of cider each for Noel and the banker! But Alan says the banker's behaviour today is dependant on whether he gets the cider.

Here we go....

Round 1

Chloe now, and Alan gives her a big build-up!

11 - Chloe - £750

1 - Wendy - £75,000

16 - Paul - 10p

17 - Rose - £500

14 - Logan - £1

Banker time

The banker says "gimme gimme gimme" about the cider. Alan says he needs to make fair and generous offers before he gets the cider!

Banker's offer:

£10,000

I think DoND could possibly have it's lowest viewing figures ever on June 23rd! Apologies in advance if there isn't a 'Live'commentary on that day

Alan says that's a very fair offer and he's tempted!

Alan says

NO DEAL

Round 2

Noel says Alan looks like a hunter when he's choosing the boxes! Noel and Alan talk about how gorgeous Mark is.

12 - Mark - £250,000

Noel says he wants to stuff Mark's face in his box.

18 - Rosie - £35,000

Noel gets Alan to call a break...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Newbie Daphne now, and Noel says she's the picture of elegance.

20 - newbie Daphne - £100

Banker time

Noel says they try to balance the east and west wings, and Daphne balances out Paul. The banker says Alan's in trouble with the game.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Alan says

NO DEAL

Round 3

4 - Ahmed - £50

22 - Kelly - £5

5 - Jenks - £15,000

Banker time

The banker says Alan is handsome and is a true gentleman, and he asks if he can have his cider now.

Banker's offer:

£6,500

Alan says it's a very fair offer, but he asks the banker to do away with the compliments and make the offer higher. The banker phones back and says Alan is stupid and ugly!

NEW OFFER

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Alan says he'd like to spend the money on some medical treatment for his family and also take them on holiday.

Alan says

NO DEAL

Round 4

15 - Laurence - £1,000

10 - Lara - £20,000

Alan says that's OK.

19 - Jo - Noel calls a break.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

19 - Jo - 1p

Banker time

Noel has to break Alan away from Jo's 1p kiss. Alan says it's a shame he has to take the banker's money, and the banker says it's a shame Alan is going to win 50p! Alan offers a day at the cricket to the banker if he's generous now...

Banker's offer:

£11,500

It's David's last commentary for almost three weeks. Oo-ar!

Four blues and £75k will do me as an opening round. Didn't we have one like that last week too? Ten grand ain't bad, and he openly admits to contemplating it!

I'll do the commentary for the Summer Solstice game if everyone is OK with that. Incidentally, it's the second to clash with an England World Cup match, after England-Portugal in 2006 clashed with Janelle's game. That game was the most viewed ever on More4, funnily enough.

Oh, what a horrible round. Offer reflects it, we move on, better luck this time, and the offer is right in between the first two. At least, before a comedy interlude and an increase. It's still worth playing on, and this round hasn't destroyed the game, but we really do need a blue now to get a five-figure offer. We get the lowest of the lot, and a five-figure offer...

One of Alan's grandsons says it's not a very good offer! The banker phones back and says all that brilliance of Alan's has been lost through 2 generations!

Alan says

NO DEAL
