Alphonso's game today.

Headmistress Edmonds welcomes us to her school. Noel shows us the catapult and says that so far no one has managed to win the twist.

Alphonso has box 15 today.

Alphonso is a singer songwriter from London, and explains how he got into it. Noel says that he is very modest and asks Alphonso to name some of the acts he has worked with. We get to see some of Alphonso's photos.


Here we go...

Round 1

Alphonso hasn't got a system, but he will be keeping one box until the end.

9 - £1,000 Newbie Wayne

1 - £35,000 Berni

Gurpal next and he thanks Alphonso for carrying his suitcase to the hotel for him. The Banker calls and pulls Gurpal up on his grammar and says that if he doesn't reveal one of the Banker's power 5 amounts he will be going into dunce's corner!!

22 - £10,000 Gurpal

Gurpal has to sit in dunce's corner facing the wall with a hat on!

16 - £500 James

8 - £10 Fred

Banker time

Gurpal finds a book in the corner about Noel Edmonds and starts reading it.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Alphonso says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Noel has given Gurpal a mirror now so he can see what is happening. Noel asks Alphonso to hurry up as his tights are falling down

Round 2

13 - £15,000 Barnaby

14 - £3,000 Paul

5 - £50,000 Jade

Banker time

The Banker says that was big all-red round for Alphonso, and he has taken out the center of the board at the moment.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

That is amazing says Alphonso, and Andrew says he didn't expect that at all. Alphonso says this is what makes the show the best gameshow in the world.

Alphonso says

NO DEAL

Round 3

3 - £5,000 Rosie

You are starting to run out of reds now says Noel.

12 - £50 Keith

Noel calls another break...

That second offer is dealable as the board is quite unstable so early.

Don't think I'd have taken it myself. A few thousand more and I might...

Very rarel board to have the bankers power5 yet the three highest. Assuming he avoids them I don't think the offer will go up by more than 5k. Now without the brnefit of hindsight I'm going to call that again he would benefit by the banker looking in the box...

£10,000 for a second time is incredibly generous considering he had an ALL RED round including £50,000. Only 4 reds left already!
Also, 2 ad breaks in 19 minutes?! *sigh* Sometimes Channel 4 really sucks.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

18 - £100 Rich

Banker time

This is an interesting board says Noel. The Banker says it is a very unusual board.

Banker's offer:

£12,500

I think I'd be taking about £15,000 minimum here.

£12,500 is a bit too low I think, even with the board as unstable as it is.

He seems really happy with these offers. Not sure how far he'll push this.

Debbie tells Alphonso to remember that is real money. Andrew tells him he really needs to start chipping away at the Banker's power 5 now.

Alphonso says

NO DEAL

Alphonso would like to win enough to treat his daughters and also produce an album.

Round 4

4 - £5 Andrew

21 - 10p Chris

Yes, yes, yes says Noel, this is the turn around round.

20 - £250 Kirsty

Banker time

Board is now strong. Average £55,000. Obv not going to be offered near that. I think £22,000+ is fair.

The Banker says that was a fantastic round for Alphonso, and he has now evened things up.

Banker's offer:

£20,000
