Deepa's game today.

Noel says some people have told him they really enjoy the replays of highlights from the previous game, but, if we were going to do that with Pat, they'd have to show the whole show! We see a brief highlights compilation of Pat's game.

A very long intro today...

First round starts at 9 minutes past.....

Deepa has Box 3 today.

Deepa bows to the pilgrims before she starts.

Deepa Madu Pravine, currently living in Llanelli (which she always mispronounces!), but originally from India; she explains how she ended up living there. A Welsh girl in the audience helps Deepa with her pronunciation.

Deepa is a mature student studying criminology, which she and Noel have a brief chat about. Her husband is in the audience for support. Deepa asks if she can remove her shoes before starting the game, as her faith requires her to do so before doing anything important.

Here we go...

Round 1

Deepa has no system. Noel says Deepa has bought a unique box-opening style, and tells the other wingers to open their boxes in the same way she did!

Box 1 with Donna - £10,000

Box 15 with Jake - £250,000

Noel tells the wingers to go back to the normal way of opening the boxes!

Box 2 with Franca - 10p

Box 12 with Russ - £100

Box 21 with Sue - £5,000

Banker time...

The Banker says Deepa was so nice to the others players when she opened the £250,000 in their games.

Banker's offer:

£4,500

Deepa says that is so much money for her, and she can give some money to others if she wins a lot. She elaborates a bit on how she once gave half her wages to support someone; she then starts to get emotional. Adamu starts crying as well due to Deepa's story.

The Banker calls, and says Adamu owes him £2 for the tissues!

Deepa says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

4:17?! It's going to be a second offer deal isn't it?!

It seems a very cautious player today...

and looking at the time... we all know what's going to happen when the question is asked at the second round offer...

Looks like it is... but "fingers crossed"

He's going to pitch the next offer just right...

We're back...

Round 2

Noel says Deepa is currently living in Wales, and that usually gets a big reaction, but not today!

Box 17 with Jason - £250

Deepa asks Marion what is going on between her and Chan, and she explains!

Box 5 with Marion - £75,000

You're into damage limitation, says Noel.

Box 13 with Mike - £500

Banker time...

Noel says the Banker will likely go down here.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Deepa says that's a big amount for her. Noel talks about Deepa's modest ambitions. Natalie advises another round, as does Lucia.

Deepa says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Looks like another third round deal then...

This game is so SLOOOOOOOWWWWW!
I dread to think what's going to happen with Chan's game.

We're back...

Round 3

Noel says Deepa has refreshingly modest ambitions.

Box 7 with Jean - £15,000

That's a tricky one, says Noel.

Box 4 with Mathew - £50

Box 19 with Adamu - £750

Banker time...

I reckon the same offer again... or just a little higher.

The Banker says there are still five tiny numbers left. He thinks Deepa will take this.

Banker's offer:

£5,000

Pathetic offer!

Definitely a 'worst ever deal' contender if this gets dealt.

I expect to hear some ''take them top 3 out'' advice...


...we didn't. We actually got some superb advice from Adamu. And Jake has expressed concern that Deepa may only take *1* of the top 3 out.

37 minutes past... it's going to be another one...
