Anthony's game today.

Noel welcomes us to the start of a new week, but he says that something is lingering about at the moment, and he says the Banker is in fine form. He talks about Mark Olver who looks after the pilgrims and sometimes he gets questions about why the Banker makes different offers on similar boards, and it is because he reads the players and judges their dealing points.

Oh sorry I wasn't sure if you was doing the commentary today or me.

Anthony has box 9 today

Noel asks if we interrupted Anthony from tarmacking the roads! Anthony works with children and currently works with destructive kids and tries to help them develop. Anthony shows us some pictures.

He doesn't have any lucky charms or anything, and Noel thinks he could be difficult to play because of that.


Here we go....

Round 1

Anthony wants the pilgrims to get behind him with some cheering today... He wants some boos for the reds and cheers for the blues.

4 - £250,000 Sheila

The Banker calls and laughs and cheers down the phone!

13 - £15,000 Smah

8 - 10p Tammie

3 - £3,000 Tegan

19 - £250 Neil

Banker time

The Banker is still laughing and says that is the best start ever! The Banker says that Anthony has brought along 2 photos and they are both of himself!

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Anthony says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break.....

Sorry Mike I wasn't 100% sure either, but was able to make it in the end.

We're back

Round 2

Noel asks Anthony how old he is, and Anthony says '24 mate' Noel asks what happened with '24 sir'

15 - £50 Newbie Tony

16 - £100,000 Joycey

17 - 1p Will

Banker time

Noel goes over to Will and Anthony to make sure they do the 1p kiss properly, and then calls over Will's wife to offer some advice for kissing Will!! The Banker then calls and calls Noel, Mate!

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Anthony says

NO DEAL

wow, yet another game decapitated before 11 box. Noel trying to get him to put a brave face on it.

I really think the 1p kiss has had its time now, esp between two grown men --- "Mummy, why are those two men kissing" Only on DOND could this happen before the watershed Still, I'm all for equality.

Round 3

Noel asks Anthony about the story of him in Las Vegas, and he says he was there with his mates and was struggling with money near the end of their stay, and put $40 on a colour and doubled his money, and kept doing that for a while and won enough money to get his mates to California and a hotel.

6 - £5,000 Tabitha

20 - £35,000 Stevie

Oh my word, that isn't looking good now says Noel.... He then calls another break...

This has £1,000 written all over it again...unless of course we see £75,000 or £50,000 now in which case expect to hit the hundreds

We're back
Last box before the Banker

Anthony stands in front of the Pound table, and Noel jokes with him if he would like the chair put there, and Anthony thinks that is a great idea and moves the chair!

1 - 50p Kerrie

Banker time

Well the 50p took him back from the brink, but this game is a 5box or lower deal.

The Banker says that this game is giving Anthony a real rough ride and isn't allowing him to get going.

Banker's offer:

£5,000

Anthony says that is a lot of money and would help him out, but he has a lot of dreams.

Anthony says

NO DEAL

Round 4

18 - £75,000 Nadia

It's happened again says Noel, as the top of the game goes yet again

5 - £5 Craig

7 - £500 Edith

Banker time

The Banker says it is 4-4 at the moment, and he would have taken the £5,000 at the last offer.

Banker's offer:

£4,000
