Darren's game today.

Noel says it has been an amazing opening week for the new year of DoND with such amazing varied shows, and was finished off with Ioannis' game and his amazing stories.

Surprised to see him playing today as he's a weekday player.

Anyway, hopefully a mega spanking to end the week off on a high note.

Darren has box 18 today.

Darren is a dog handler at Gatwick airport, and he explains about his job searching for drugs with his dog at the airport. He has his partner in the audience for support, along with 2 of his friends. He shows a picture of his ex-dog which his friends now look after, and explains how his old dog has chosen the last five numbers for his game today - 8,13,14,17, and 18. The Banker calls and shouts 'House'



Here we go....

Round 1

16 - £250,000 Giuliana

That hurts says Darren

1 - £5,000 Renee

6 - 50p Paul

19 - £10,000 Newbie Lily

5 - £20,000 Belinda

Banker time

Not a good start.

That was yet another painfull opening round says Noel. The Banker says that he loves a dog lover, and talks about his dogs who went missing recently, but the police weren't any help as they said they didn't have any leads.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Darren says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Well, obviously he's not.

We're back

Noel reveals some of Darren's dreams, which includes marrying his partner if he wins enough, but this comes a surprise to her.

Round 2

9 - £50,000 Dale

12 - £1 Chris

22 - £100 Stef

Banker time

That is better says Darren. The Banker says he knew about Darren wanting to marry his partner, in fact the whole team knew, and all thought that he had already been down on one knee. Darren says he doesn't like where this is going.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Darren says the £250,000 going has taken the pressure off him a bit of becoming the first quarter millionaire, and the Banker asks if it was important that Darren did a first on the show, and Darren hangs up the phone on the Banker!

Darren says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Darren asks for a quickie

4 - £5 James

20 - £10 Leo

10 - £500 Carland

Banker time

That was fantastic, and it worked for you says Noel. He then calls a break...

I can't remember the last time a quickie round brought 3 reds - they to tend to produce good rounds (probably because they are normally done on boards with more blues than reds)

We're back

Noel says that Darren's mum and dad don't know he is on DoND, so it will be a big a surprise when they see him on tv

Banker time

Banker's offer:

£10,000

£10k on that board is decent. We've had some cautious deals recently but I don't think this will be another one.

That is better, and some serious smile money says Darren. Darren goes to the wings for some advice, and Noel asks them all if Darren should get married

Darren says

NO DEAL

Round 4

21 - £750 Jodi

3 - 1p Wendy

Noel says the 1p kiss hasn't been done correctly so far this year, and wants it done properly today. That is 7 blues in a row now says Noel.

2 - £100,000 Bekki

Banker time

That was disappointing says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Darren says that is a good offer, and goes to the wings for some more advice.

Darren says

NO DEAL
