Paul's game today.

Noel says he thinks the show starts afresh every Monday, and he says we had a week of ups and downs last week, with some sensational and emotional games.

Had the £100k yesterday.

Hopefully a second banker spanking in a row.

Paul has box 2.

Noel says Paul looks like he's come off a building site! Paul is a student P.E. teacher, and he talks about his favourite sports. Paul has his girlfriend in the audience, and he shows a pic of his parents and a pic of his gran. He explains that she used to walk 5 miles every day to take him to school.

Here we go...

Round 1

Paul has no system.

19 - Buk - £75,000

Noel says he can't wait to tell Buk's story.

9 - Tabitha - £10

Noel talks about Lauren's owl tattoo on her back!

14 - Lauren - £5,000

21 - Tegen - £250

16 - Katie - £750

Banker time

The banker says he's been looking forward to this as Paul is a very good reader of the board and the banker, and he says Paul's going to make the offers! Paul promises to be sensible, otherwise the banker will say "no deal" and Paul will get no money!

Paul says he'd offer £8,500

Banker says DEAL

Banker's offer:

£8,500

Noel says he didn't realise we'd be throwing all the rules out when he said we'd be starting afresh!

Paul says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Round 2

The banker rings up and has a go at Noel for making a factual error about where Paul went to school! Noel reveals Paul is 20 and Paul says Annie thought he was 27! Noel then srcuffs himself up in honour of Paul.

12 - Nadia - £100,000

17 - Will - £15,000

20 - Terry - £50

Banker time

Paul says he'd offer £7,000

Banker says DEAL

Banker's offer:

£7,000

Paul talks about how making the offers is hard, and the banker rings back and wishes Paul luck!

Paul says

NO DEAL

As gimmicks go, the concept of making your own offers is quite refreshing. I thought the second offer would be around £6k but I suppose the £7k is near enough and its a no deal anyway with he £250k on the board.

I hope this game has live play legs until at least 5 box to see if the offers go up. Oh, well, maybe not after that reveal.

Round 3

15 - Duane - £250,000

Noel says the game has gone down the "Duane".

5 - Gordon - £10,000

Noel says this game has a touch of Wayne.

Noel calls a break...

Hmm... £3,500 / £4,000 next offer if the £50k stays?

What a terrible pun... Noel.

Well now hes shot his bolt and chasing the £50k theres going to be a lot of padding until 5 box so I may take the opportunity to carry on gardening for another 20 mins. Im saying hes going to have to predict his own sub 1k offer.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

11 - Steve - £50,000

Banker time

I'd go for 40p here.

I'd just offer what I actually wanted to leave the game and then see how long the Banker wanted me to be in live play. To the end, I presume.

Paul says he wonders what the banker's thinking, so he speaks to the banker. The banker and Paul discuss this offer.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Paul says

NO DEAL
