Ioannis' game today.

Noel wants to pay tribute to Angela from yesterday, as she was a very optimistic person, played a happy game, and dealt at her lowest offer, but she wasn't 100% sure what to do, so went for a sweep, but only person said deal, and that was David, but she ended up doing the right thing and dealing as her game crashed from there.

That giggle before his name was called is a fair indication that he already knew. He already had his photos on his box too.

Ioannis has box 14 today.

The game doesn't start well as Ioannis puts his box on the table the wrong way around. Ioannis is originally from Cyprus and came over here in 1957. Noel asks Ioannis what he did when he came over here, and Ioannis breaks out into laughter, then says he was a kitchen porter, and Noel asks if he was working in a hotel in Torquay. Ioannis talks about the various hotel jobs he has had before joining the merchant navy. Ioannis shows us a photo of his family.

Noel thinks this game will be side splitting, but Ioannis says he doesn't know what the means. Ioannis doesn't have a system.

Here we go...

This is the first time for 76 games that box 14 has come to the table. Indeed, in the 300 games in 2011 it came to the table only twicw!

Round 1

5 - £1 Adam

3 - £50,000 Jodi

10 - £5,000 Newbie Giuliana

11 - £20,000 Zoe

8 - £100 Margaret

Banker time

Not a bad opening round by any means.

The Banker says 'rather you than me' to Noel, he thinks they have let gas and air into the studio today.

Banker's offer:

£7,500

Ioannis gets all mixed up about what happens next and just says thank you, no deal. Noel asks him if he would like a question now, Ioannis starts laughing so Noel calls a break before we get the question.

We're back

A member of the DoND team is explaining how the show works to Ioannis.

Ioannis says

NO DEAL

Another silly game I'm guessing.

This is getting a bit silly now. Quite funny though.

Round 2

Noel thinks this round should be quicker now that the game has been explained to Ioannis, but he is still sat in the chair and then tells Noel that he is ready for the question now!

13 - £750 Snowy

15 - £1,000 Paul

22 - £15,000 Stef

Banker time

The Banker says they have been doing this show for 6 years with some of the finest production crew getting the players ready, but today they have all failed

Banker's offer:

£9,900

Ioannis says

NO DEAL

This game could get serious very quickly on this board.

Round 3

Noel looks through some of Ioannis' dreams, and he says that Ioannis is a big fan of the weather here, and Ioannis says that it is because it is so different here and always changing. Ioannis starts telling a story about skinny dipping with Margaret Thatcher! Noel says that none of this isn't on Ioannis' card.

19 - £10 Darren

21 - £500 Bekki

Noel calls a break, but Noel is a little worried about their producer Alex as he hasn't faired so well during this game, and the camera then pans to a shot with a note sayin 'I quit'

We're back
Last box before the Banker

We see a shot of Alex the producer leaving the studio with a box of his belongings. Noel asks Ioannis why he kept the story secret about him skinny dipping with Margaret Thatcher, and Ioannis says that there is just so much to tell and he had to leave some stories out

9 - £10,000 Belinda

Banker time

Ioannis goes around and high 5s the wings and then the pilgrims, Noel has to drag him back to the pound table.

Banker's offer:

£13,000

I am proud to say that producer Alex hugged me at one of the reunions.

Ioannis asks Noel what he has to do now, and Noel says that he has to consider this offer and take things a little more seriously now.


Ioannis says

NO DEAL
