Ron's game today.

Noel talks about dreams and says he's delved into the files. He uncovers some dreams of the west wing, including going down on one knee, buying an electric bike, buying sausage dogs and training to be a mud wrestler. He says one of those dreams is untrue!

Ron has box 2.

Ron is from Tyne and Wear and is a self-employed joiner. Ron shows some old b&w pic of him with his brothers, sisters and mum. He reveals that Noel once had tea with his mum and sister! We also see a photo of Ron at his son's graduation, and he says he's proud of his son as he has a mining background. Ron's wife of 30 years is in the audience and she tells the story of how they met in a nightclub, and she uses the chance to say she's younger than Noel.

Ron's offered some advice which is generally to go one more round

Ron says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Ron says he wants to get a racehorse but he's not a big gambler and he says he and his family have always had an interest in racehorses. He reveals a horse once had a heart attack and died whilst Ron was riding it.

14 - Vicki - £750

Noel says lots of people will identify with Ron, as he's achieved a lot in life and is now looking for a happy retirement.

17 - Leanne - £3,000

8 - Amy - £5,000

Banker time

The banker thinks Ron has modest ambitions and this will be an opportunity to retire comfortably, and he doesn't think he'll have to offer a lot to get Ron to deal.

Banker's offer:

£4,000

The banker says Ron and his wife will be happy with that, and he says the banker may be right. He asks his wife who says it's up to him if he wants to carry on, and Patricia says one of the bigger values could do everything Ron wants. Stu says Ron has paid a lot of respect to lesser sums of money, but it's probably a bit cheap for the board.

The banker phones back and says this board is marginally in Ron's favour and he'd modify his opinion of Ron if he no dealt.

Ron says

NO DEAL

Ron's wife suggests a speed round but Ron says no, as he wants to think about the boxes.

Noel calls a break before Round 5 begins...

We're back

Round 5

16 - Ade - £1,000

19 - Dom - £35,000

Noel says that's not disastrous at the moment.

6 - Dolly - £50

Banker time

Noel says we know the banker will have modified his opinion of Ron. The banker says he's been proved wrong by Ron, and if Ron had dealt, he'd have said the offer would've been about £4,500. But as Ron no dealt, he's playing it differently.

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Ron says the banker is a very very clever man. Noel says winning £100,000 is still achievable, and Adam says he'd go for it but £8,000 would be icing on top of his life for Ron. Noel asks which contestants would deal and about 6 would. Noel asks Ron if he's waiting to know it's right to deal, and he says he is, so Noel asks why he doesn't deal then! Stu says the board is worth more than £8,000.

The banker rings back and says anyone who says that's not a good offer can't read the board! He warns what would happen if the £100k goes, and he says Ron has to be a gambler to go on.

Ron says

DEAL
