Daniel's game today.

Noel welcomes us to another festive edition of the show, and he says the snowmen and Christmas tree haven't been kind to the players, as we've had wins of £500, 50p and NOTHING so far this week!!

Noel explains the Scrooge or Santa twist that takes place at the 5-box stage. There are 3 snowmen and 2 of them have a Santa and 1 has a Scrooge, find the Santa and the contestant gets an offer after every box in the final round, but find the Scrooge and the Banker gets to look inside the contestant's box and the final round continues in the usual 3 box style. There is also a Christmas tree where the contestant gets to the chance to win a holiday.

Daniel has box 21.

Daniel is a musician living in Nottingham, and he has his guitar with him today, which he calls Sue! Noel says the guitar even goes to bed with Daniel. Daniel says he's lived in quite a few places, and he runs through all the places he's lived, including Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon and Manchester. Daniel also has a percussion instrument with him, and he tells a story about how he got it on a beach in Barcelona!
