I love that the offer in rupees would have been lower by the time it aired! Presumably still paid in sterling?

She went further than I expected, and that was an astonishing see-saw proveout, quite something to watch.

Just out of interest, I looked to see how much 1p is in Rupees.
1p = 0.879796 INR as of today

This is inordinately geeky, but according to my currency exchange rate source (xe.com) the £/rupee exchange rate was 0.01856 on October 9 and 0.01855 on October 10, and has been lower since.

So recording must have been on one of those days

Of course it would have been paid at the rate at the time of filming not airing!

Saw someone hint on Twitter that there would be a millionaire on DOND today but I didn't twig that it would be in another currency.

Hard to judge 4/4 boards - especially one as polarised as today but it was yet another cautious deal again today. 5-box offer was more than it probably would have been in live play (but not by a lot)

So Deepa went one round too early but she avoided the dreaded penny. I'd call that a good result.

Making the offers in ruppees was a canny move by the Banker, clearly the offers hit home.

That moment with Adamu was irather touching , Noel effectively stepping out of charecter for a few moments to console him

Deepa scored what I call a "Mad Mark OPW." What is that, you ask? It's when someone sells off the penny, regardless of the amount of the offer. Congrats to her .

I think one of the best deals ever made in the 25-year history of this show involved someone selling the dreaded "p" for some ridiculous amount of money, and then getting one hell of a Mad Mark OPW / regular OPW in the process. I don't know when it happened, nor do I know amount of the deal, but I'm sure one of our beloved (?) stats people will.

Easy, tiger.

Might Alex, who sold the penny for £88,000 in October of 2010, be the game you're on about ?

I think someone dealt at £88k on a 1p/QM finish once and had the penny. Julie in season 1 sold it for £33k and that too was an OPW.

That is Alex's game from 18th October 2010.

Yeah, I thnk you're both right. Thanks for the clarification, guys .
