Anthony's game today.

Noel says it's very important to play the game as yourself and that's what Beryl-Anne did yesterday.

Anthony has box 19.

Noel says Anthony has his twin brother in the audience, and they've both had cystic fibrosis all their lives, and he talks about how it's affected their lives and how they have to do various exercises each day to control it. Anthony shows a photo of him with his family, and another pic of him when his brother had given him a dodgy haircut just before he went on the show!

Here we go...

Round 1

21 - Brenda - £50

2 - Ken - £15,000

13 - Victoria - £250

12 - Em - 1p

11 - Stacey - £10,000

Banker time

Banker says he's feeling pugnacious today. He says Anthony is sickeningly good-looking, and thinks he could be trouble, so he's going to play a dirty trick. The banker says he's bonded with Anthony's twin-brother, so the question will be directed to him!

Banker's offer:

SWAP

Anthony's twin-brother says

NO SWAP

Noel's twin-brother calls a break...

Not the sort of Double Deal game we anticipated coming any time soon. Will we ever get another £500k game, come to think of it?

Good start, no opening cash offer means the Banker may not be wanting to set a high generosity precedent.

We're back

Round 2

18 - Karen - £100,000

16 - Macka - £35,000

3 - Graham - £5

Banker time

Noel says a member of staff couldn't understand Anthony's accent!

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Anthony says

NO DEAL

And that round sets up the lower generosity. I think the Banker will want Anthony to go all the way to allow Noel to play up the "brave" connection with his condition. The show does this all the time.

Round 3

20 - Fred - £3,000

9 - Hayley - £5,000

Cindi next, and Noel says we'll soon find out the story of her and the traumatised boy scouts!

4 - Cindi - 10p

Banker time

The banker says there's no way he can produce an offer until he's heard Andy's joke of the day, so Noel gets him to do it.

Noel calls a break before the offer...

Much more like it. Although the 6-5 split is the wrong way, the five reds include £250k and three of the next five highest. I'd definitely prefer that to the reverse board at halfway.

I think £17.5k would be dealable; we'll be lucky to get five figures.

We're back

Time for the offer...

Banker's offer:

£9,000


Noel reveals that Anthony would like to donate some money to the hospital where they get medical aid, and also get some money for his mum.

Anthony says

NO DEAL

Round 4

6 - Seema - £250,000

5 - Andre - £1

10 - Jie - £75,000

Banker time

The banker says he recognises Anthony is popular, and will delight in his failure.

Banker's offer:

£2,500

Anthony says it's a good offer considering what he took out.

Anthony says

NO DEAL

I had to remind myself we were actually at the ADP when I saw that combination of "offer" and time. This game has To The End written all over it; back in 15.

Round 5

22 - Gary - £1,000

1 - newbie Roman - £750

15 - Micole - £10

Banker time
