Phil's game today.

Noel says there are 4 views of DoND - including the view from home, the view from the wings, the view from the pilgrims and the view from the crazy chair. He talks about Rhian's game and how she nearly dealt at the first and second offers.

Hopefully he won't be so cautious...

for Noel's intro today. Mentioning what the money meant to Rhian - not what she might have won had she taken a big gamble for her at the end.

With him forgetting that sometimes being a OHO and going to the end can sometimes get you a lot more money.

Phil has box 11.

Phil is a hairdresser from Barnet and he says it's always difficult to cut the back of his own hair! His wife is in the audience and she says they met at a sports club. Phil shows a photo of his late mum who was a pub pianist, and he talks about how she could easily tune a piano and play the piano until late at night.

Here we go...

I have something on my clipboard as well today for Mark.

Round 1

Phil asks the audience to get behind him. He says he has no system but he has a few numbers that his family have picked for him.

1 - Colin - £750

Bobby next, and Phil gets her to show everyone her dress!

20 - Bobby - £50

Phil talks about how nervous it is being a newbie.

19 - newbie Claire - £3,000

8 - Li Ping - £250,000

Phil says he's upset about that because £250k was going to be his retirement, but he can semi-retire on £100k!

3 - Elaine - £100,000

Banker time

Li Ping has had £641,000 in her 6 boxes so far but no-one on the show seems to have noticed

Noel says the banker is rumbustious today. The banker says he recognises how everyone cares for Phil because he's a good guy.

Banker's offer:

£5,000

That's a decent offer considering the top two went in that round.

Might be close for Deal Eye to take.

Phil says his wife wants a new sofa because he used to have a tatty old one, and he replaced it with a bright yellow one which is too big! He goes into great detail about the sofa and Noel interrupts with the question.

Phil says

NO DEAL

I think Noel's tolerance for rambling contestants has been used up for this year by Tony.

We're back

Round 2

Noel says he's allowing Phil to complete the sofa story!

13 - Angela - £10

6 - Wayne - £1,000

Phil thanks everyone for their energy.

5 - Mariyam - 1p

Banker time

The banker says he'd need a new sofa if Mariyam visited him!

Banker's offer:

£9,000

There's a mathematical argument for taking £9k too.

Which hopefully he won't. Very worth another round.

Jacob says it's a great offer but the board is great too, and Dave and Maryiam agree.

Phil says

NO DEAL

I agree but that's a decent offer. Hopefully, the generosity will keep that high if the board stays strong.

Round 3

4 - Dave - £15,000

9 - Mary - £500

Phil talks about working on a dairy farm and Noel calls a break...
