£17,500 then. Tougher decision but as a mathematician, going on is probably just about justifiable as if you keep the QM in play, the next offer should be good.

Round 4

1 - Fred - £50

Noel says every blue Andrew finds is worth thousands to the offer.

19 - Rosie - £250,000

22 - Gurpal - £20,000

Banker time

The Banker says he has forgotten how wonderfully cruel this game is. He asks Andrew what he wants the Banker to do, and Andrew tells him make a nice offer.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

£10k. There's the value of showing the banker you can read a board.

Instant deal for me.

Andrew says the money he has come for is a deposit for a house and a holiday. The Banker then rings up and says he has a proposition for Andrew. Something a bit different...

However we won't find out what that is till after the break...

We couldn't start the new series with a straightforward game could we?

A 37.5% chance of a holiday isn't enough to stop me taking a very generous offer on a 4 red/4 blue board.

We're back

Noel has brought out a gold envelope from under the table and there's a holiday in the envelope. If Andrew says NO DEAL, he'll win the holiday if he guesses a value and then finds it.

The Banker is willing to let Andrew's girlfriend open the envelope to find out where the holiday is. Louise says the holiday is somewhere really nice and it'd be a great holiday.

The Banker calls and is going to make one final offer. If Andrew declines £10,000 and nominates a box value, and he hits it he'll get the holiday. However his girlfriend will also be able to choose a box giving Andrew 2 chances to win the holiday.

Andrew says

NO DEAL

So it's now 9/14 chance of getting the holiday.

Round 5

Andrew chooses £50,000 to find in the next round.
Louise chooses £35,000 to find in the next round.

If either of the above are found in the next round Andrew will win the holiday.

10 - Katie - £750

17 - Bernie - 10p

14 - Rich - £15,000

Banker time

This should be £15k minimum probably.

The Banker says the holiday is off the table and it's not coming back.

Banker's offer:

£15,000

The Banker has a very good point there.

Surely it's a bit late for the banker to worry about making too many twists, seeing as there have been more than plenty over the last year or two?

Andrew has suggested that if he can guess the contents of his box would the Banker be willing to let him win the holiday. The Banker rings up and is apparently angry. If Andrew deals now and guesses what the contents of his box are he WILL win the holiday.

Andrew says

DEAL

Round 6 - Proveout

Andrew says he thinks £35,000 in his box. Noel does a spoof news item and says the show isn't changing and getting more complicated.

21 - Chris - £10

9 - Nyomi - £10,000

15 - Kirsty - 1p

Banker time

First show of the season and the 10% nightmare round rears its head already.

This'll be the £50k now probably so he won't get the holiday even.

Yep.

OH DEAR... OH DEAR... shouldn't have said what he said at 5 box about guessing what's inside his box for the holiday as it cost him BIG BIG BIG time.

First game of the season where a power five should have been won!... Not a good start.
