Roy's game today.

Noel says there's a threatening cloud over the dream factory, and he runs through Gillian's bad game yesterday. He also says how evil the banker was when he pretended he was going to donate a Disney trip to Gillian.

Again, going between DOND and the snooker isn't going to be easy - especially when, at the time of typing, John Higgins looks on course to level at 12 frames each, having very nearly fallen 13-9 behind...

Roy has box 8.

Roy is a retired taxi driver from Braintree, Essex, and has also worked as a high court bailiff. He shows a pic of his son who now lives in Barcelona, and another pic of Roy with all of his family. He also has a horseshoe with him which he got out of a Christmas cracker! He reckons it helped him to win £125 on the horses once. He believes number 8 is lucky and he has box 8.

Here we go...

Round 1

Roy has no system, but he says whatever value colour the first box is will be the colour he has in his box.

7 - Al - £100,000

Roy reckons he's got a red on the table now

14 - Debs - £5

12 - newbie Carole - £1,000

1?? - Lucy?? - 50p

2 - Becks - £50

Banker time

The banker says he's going to send Gillian a postcard from Disneyland!

Banker's offer:

£8,500

Noel says Roy wants a camera with his winnings, and Roy says that's true, and he also wants to get things for other people. Roy reveals the camera costs £5,000 in total.

Roy says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Round 2

11 - Kerry - £5,000

13 - Fi - £20,000

19 - Kerry-Anne - £100

Kerry-Anne reveals she was told to watch out for Roy when she arrived!

Banker time

The banker says he's impressed with the prediction Roy made at the start of the game.

Banker's offer:

£11,000

Noel asks Roy what he does with the photos he takes, and he says he frames them and puts them in albums. He'd like a better camera so he can go on a course and develop his skills. He says he'd like to buy his children some new vehicles, and Noel tells Roy to do something for himself! Roy says his wife still works as a ballet teacher, so she can support Roy's golfing. Roy says he may go all the way in the game, regardless of what happens.

Roy says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Roy says he was in the changing room the other day, and Harry overheard him saying that his nose might come off with his glasses, as the make-up team had really done up his nose!

17 - Harry - £750

22 - Sue - £1

Noel puts on a fake nose and glasses!

Noel calls a break...

Well, there are more reds than blues at 12-box - so it's not looking bad for Roy's prediction at the mo.

And Higgins leads 13-12 heading into tonight's final session...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

9 - Elaine - £3,000

Banker time

The banker apologises to Harry on behalf of Ron.

Banker's offer:

£15,000

Roy says he made the prediction at the start, as he was hopeful of getting the swap if he thought there was a blue in his box. Roy says he knows what his wife would say if she were there at the moment, and he says it's fortunate that she's not there!

Roy says

NO DEAL

Saying that you've got a red in your box when you take out the £100k first box is a huge risk?!?!?

Get outta here...

And I wouldn't be one little bit surprised if Noel's forgotten about £100k Gaz - who took out the £250k first box...

Round 4

6 - Abbey - £250

21 - Iain - £50,000

15 - Yvonne - £10,000

Banker time

The 1p, 10p, two other blues and a red ladder at 8-box - hmmm...

The banker says this is risky, as Roy still has 3 of the Power 5 left, including the £250,000. However he says the ladder on the reds makes the board look stronger than it is.

Banker's offer:

£22,000

£22k?

That's not a bad offer at all given what's left...
