Bastien's game today.

Noel talks about Reg's game and says that you get paintings that are worth a lot of money, but it is very rare that you get a photo worth a lot of money, but Reg had a photo worth £50,000, as he looked at his photo of his grand children and dealt early, but could have had £50,000 more.

Bastien has box 9 today.

Noel starts talking to Bastien in French as he is originally from France. Bastien explains how he came to the UK as his mum said he needed to learn English and gave him a one way ticket to the UK and told him not to come back until he could speak English! Bastien works as a bus driver and has his fiancee in the audience for support today, they have been engaged for about 5 years. Bastien has 2 good luck cards from his sons, and we get to see a picture of his 2 sons.


Here we go...

Ah, dear.

Still, it happened on Monday, it can easily happen again!

Unbelieveable says Noel. The Banker laughs down the phone, and says that is a huge relief to him, as Basiten is one of the good guys and he loves it when things go like this.

Banker's offer:

Bastien says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break....

Hope they are remembering Gemma's game. She had a round like that and won £35k!

We're back

Noel calls another break and gets Bastien to do the link....

Oh dear, this IS Gemma's game all over again. I hope he can keep the £35k.

Last box before the Banker

Bastien talks about his twin sons, and how when his fiancee was 22 weeks pregnant they found out that the twins had a rare condition where the twins wouldn't possibly survive, but they had some laser surgery which thankfully saved them.

Banker time

Beginning to recover now.

He's on his way back and it is 4-4 now says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Noel runs through some of Bastien's dreams of reducing his mortgage, wedding and some money for his 2 boys. He gets more advice from the wings. Bastien goes for a sweep of the wings, everyone says NO DEAL, and Bastien says that is pretty clear then. The Banker says he is genuinely shocked no one would take that offer and wonders if he got the offer wrong, although he isn't going to alter it.

Bastien says

NO DEAL

Noel calls another break...
