Colin's game today.

Noel says we are trying to bubbly and optimistic today, as Li Ping had the 3rd unluckiest games of all time yesterday. But he says what made it even harder was that Li Ping had an amazing run of red boxes while on the wings.

Colin has box 3 today.

Colin is a waiter in his family owned business. Noel says that in his notes says that Colin likes dealing with problem customers, and would love to have his own restaurant in the future.

Colin has Larry the lucky leprechaun with him today, Noel says that it looks a lot like Colin

Here we go....

Round 1

Colin has a few boxes he likes, and will keep box 4 until later in the game, and also box 19.

16 - £5,000 Damien

6 - £15,000 Jodi

10 - 10p Stine

20 - £500 Lee

22 - £250,000 Claire

Banker time

The Banker cheers down the phone and says that he is still partying from yesterday, and this opening round has given him no reason to stop. He says that last night he lay in a bath of cheesy nibbles! He thinks the atmosphere in the studio has been knocked for 6 recently. The Banker says he likes Colin as he thinks he has a ruthless and dark side just like him.

Banker's offer:

£6,500

That is just amazing considering what I have just done says Colin.

Colin says

NO DEAL


Noel calls a break....

The last Colin to play the game (no. 986, 16/03/2009) became the 19th member of the 1p club! However, the other 3 Colins all took home 5-figure sums.

We're back

Round 2

Noel is tempted to reveal a weird thing in Colin's file, and Colin says that it is fine. Noel says that when Colin leaves home to make sure that he has turned off all the electical sockets, he takes photos of all the sockets, Colin says he has even turned up at work with the iron before so he knew it was turned off!

1 - £1 Aaron

21 - £750 Patrick

18 - £250 James

Banker time

The Banker says he takes great pleasure in taking photos of his sockets as well. He can see Colin's confidence building.

Banker's offer:

£9,250

This is climbing nicely says Noel.

Colin says

NO DEAL

Round 3

2 - £3,000 Pauline

Colin says that he is afraid to go to Fred as his light isn't on! Colin goes over to check and gives the light a tap and it comes back on.

17 - £10,000 Tash

The Banker calls and says that it is time for the break now, but he wants the pilgrims to do a bit of work first, and this audience is not good enough for Colin as the only excitement they have shown so far is when Colin discovered the faulty light-bulb. The Banker gets the pilgrims to do the break link...

So he won't open a box just because there's a light not working? It's called a FAULTY BULB!

We're back
Last box before the Banker

13 - £100,000 Katie

Banker time

Colin goes to the wings for some advice. Everyone thinks there is one more round in the game.

Colin says

NO DEAL

Round 4

12 - £75,000 Fred

14 - £35,000 Helen

Oh no, says Noel.

8 - £10 Mariyam

Banker time

Noel apologises to Colin as he turned Colin's Leprechaun upside down before that round, and he feels really bad now. The Banker thanks Noel for doing that.

Banker's offer:

£2,000

That's still a reasonable offer for the board says Colin, but he is still here to play the game, and that can mean playing all the way to the end.

Colin says

NO DEAL

Noel calls another break...

We're back

Round 5

7 - 1p Jean

5 - 50p Newbie Mike

15 - £50,000 Sara

Banker time

That was tough luck says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

That's decent considering. No shame in dealing that at all.
