Barbara's game today.

Noel talks about targets in games and how they can be really dangerous, as in Zara's game yesterday. He talks about how sometimes people come with targets that they never achieve throughout their game, but then you get a game like Zara's where she had a good board but revealed a low target and allowed the Banker to pitch low offers as he knew he didn't have to pay any more for the box.

Hopefully she won't have a target... unless it's a big amount.

It works both ways, if her target is a big amount it may well force her on to peanuts.

Barbara has box 19 today.

Barbara doesn't like being called Babs, so Noel warns everyone not to call her that. Barbara talks about how she does work for a local talking newspaper for blind and visually impaired people. While Barbara is telling her story the Banker puts 'Babs' on the gameboard! Barbara shows a photo of her wedding day.

The Banker says that he will make a quick offer now.

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Tuned in just in time for the quickie opening round! That must've been fun!

Barbara says that they pass a shop everyday on the coach to the studio, and she sees a pink scooter and wonders if she would have enough to buy one of those. Noel says that he has sussed out Barbara and she is doing quick rounds so she can have more talking time to herself

Barbara says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break....

Wonder if she will do another quickie as there hasn't been two done in a show before.

We're back

Barbara asks for Noel's new 1p, 5p, 10p, £1 chant! The Banker calls and says that they don't have a 5p

Round 2

Noel says that he won't do the chant, but Skevy says that everyone else will do it for her.

Banker time

Oh no, no, no, you didn't want to go and do that!

Oh my word, that was horrific says Noel. The Banker laughs down the phone and says what a round, he loves how it wrecked the game and also how no one will sing that song again. The Banker says that he overheard Barbara's husband say that Barbara forced him to wear a tie today on her show.

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Barbara says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Oh no says Noel. He calls another break and gets Barbara to do the link...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

1 - £5 Alice

Banker time

Barbara says that is fair enough with that board. Noel asks Babara what annoys her, and she says that he had better ask her husband, but he says that he hasn't been following so doesn't know what they are asking! Barbara says that what really annoys her

Barbara says

NO DEAL

Round 4

9 - 10p Mick

21 - £3,000 Gill

Banker time

The Banker says he has been impressed with Barbara and how she has been working out the averages.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Barbara says that half the average is £3,500, so she does respect the offer. Barbara gets some advice from the wings and is told to take her time now and think about the offer. Barbara's husband says he thinks she should go for it now.

Barbara says

NO DEAL

Noel calls another break...
