Ken's game today.

Noel says the question that is most asked is why has the show been so popular for so long, and he thanks everyone for supporting the show. He thinks it is popular because it mimics life in a lot of respects.

Ken has box 3 today.

Noel says that Ken looks like he is about to perform an operation, he is a retired television engineer. We get to see a family photo, and he has his wife and son in the audience for support. There is a chap sat next to Ken's wife and the Banker calls and asks if he will pretend to be Ken's daughter so they have all the family here! Ken says he would like to win enough to help his children with their dreams.


Here we go....

LOL at Chris, I thought he had meant Florence from Florence And The Machines

Round 1

4 - £50,000 Deb

9 - £100,000 Chris

19 - 10p Tony

10 - £750 Max

13 - £10,000 Jie

Banker time

The Banker says a hello to all of Ken's family in the audience, with a special hello for his pretend daughter!

Banker's offer:

£2,650

Ken is ready really quickly for the question, but Noel really drags out asking the question, and the Banker calls to prolong the asking of the question as well.

Ken says

NO DEAL


Noel calls a break...

We're back

Round 2

6 - 50p Roman

21 - £15,000 Jade

5 - £3,000 Debbie

Banker time

That is a slightly better board now says Noel. The Banker says that Ken needs to get rid of the 1p as he is on for a hat-trick now, and he hasn't had 3 1p winners in a week so far.

Banker's offer:

£4,500

Ken says he needs a nice all-blue round, including hitting the 1p now.

Ken says

NO DEAL

Round 3

20 - £75,000 Vinny

2 - £10 Candi

Noel calls a break...

Urgh... not another precarious board again. Please don't be #39 already.

Another game where at 11 box he's chasing the £250k. Again justifiably low offers which mean we play on to the end. Is the banker trying for a hatrick?

We're back
Last box before the Banker

15 - £100 Alphonso

Banker time

The Banker says he can't go rocketing up until Ken has a good round.

Banker's offer:

£5,750

Obvious no deal. Imagine if he dealt and 250k was in his box

Ken says that it is 6 blues against 5 reds, and Ken's wife says that he still has the chance of being the first male quarter millionaire. Ken thinks there is at least one more round left in the game.

Ken says

NO DEAL

Round 4

17 - £250 Glenda

1 - 1p Boo

11 - £20,000 Boniface

Banker time

He might just edge 10k but still a no deal

Ken says that the £250,000 is still there. The Banker tells Ken to stop talking about the £250,000 as he is embarrassing himself, and there is no way on earth he is here for the £250,000 and Ken is looking for a deal. He says there is no way Ken is gambling this offer.

Banker's offer:

£13,000

13k not a bad offer but I'd definitely risk it
