Gordon's game today.

Noel says he hopes we're having a brilliant Easter weekend, and the contestants have eggs on their name badges to recognise Easter. He talks about Abiola's game yesterday, and talks about how needing the money - rather than just wanting it - can really influence the game.

Gordon has box 18.

Gordon lives in Sheffield with some flatmates, and he enjoys collecting comics. The banker rings and says the pilgrims can see Gordon's backside as his jeans have slipped down. He works in admin with the Home Office, but would like a different job, and would ideally be an author writing sci-fi. We get to see a pic of Gordon with his parents after graduating from his PhD in science fiction, and another pic of his family at Christmas.

Gordon has his girlfriend in the audience, and Noel asks her why she was attracted to a geek! He also has an unusual pocket watch with him that his parents gave him as a graduation present.

Here we go...

Round 1

Newbie Elaine now, and Noel discovers she used to work in a cemetery.

13 - newbie Elaine - £35,000

1 - Al - £100

9 - Roy - £15,000

6 - Sarah - £100,000

10 - Toby - £1

Banker time

The banker says Gordon is a thoroughly nice chap.

Banker's offer:

£5,000 + a longer t-shirt

Gordon says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

What's the matter? Is your name Fern Britton, and are you flapping about because your watch left a black mark on your wrist, just before you're about to do a live broadcast?

You're exactly right! But I can't get rid of the mark on my wrist. How did Fern get rid of hers.

You need 3 make-up girls and a tissue.

(That sounds dodgy.)

We're back

Round 2

21 - Harry - 1p

14 - Wilf - 10p

22 - Gillian - £50

Banker time

The banker gets Gordon to turn to the audience to show off his outfit. He shows a pic of Gordon at his audition, and he was wearing the same outfit. He then shows another pic of Gordon when he arrived at the studios, and he's also wearing the same outfit.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

A £50.11 round and he only goes up £5k...

Gordon says he's not going at the 2nd offer!

Gordon says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Noel asks about Gordon's outfit, and he'll change later in the game!

11 - Debs - £75,000

17 - Ziggy - 50p

Noel calls a break...

Well I have one of the above...

Oh, Noel...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel re-appears, dressed identically to Gordon with a big wig and glasses.

3 - Tanya - £1,000

Banker time

Tanya does look a bit like Nigella Lawson, doesn't she?

Only she's not quite as curvy...

The banker says Noel hasn't emulated the shortness of Gordon's t-shirt!

Banker's offer:

£9,250

Once again the Banker shows off his knowledge of the 250-times table...
