Hardik's game today.

Noel says we had one of those moments in Carla's game, when she reminded us of Mary's game from just under four years ago, where she no dealt by mistake. Carla made the same mistake, but unlike Mary, she didn't change her mind and did what she meant.

Had the £75,000 yesterday.

Hardik has Box 7 today.

Hardik is from Salford, and is a transport manager for a health and care company. Noel says Hardik doesn't like some odd numbers. Hardik has a photo of him and his family; his fiancee is in the audience for support.

Here we go...

I wonder what the chances are of boxes 1, 2 and 3 being in that order in that position...

Round 1

Noel tells Hardik to go get the £250,000.

Box 12 with Kris - £250

Hardik says it would be a good idea to lose some low reds in the first round, so some blues are left to hit.

Box 3 with Pat - £3,000

Russ wears his hat most of the time; he wears a woolly one when gardening, apparently. Some gardening banter with Noel.

Box 21 with Russ - 50p

Box 18 with newbie Kristy - £35,000

Box 14 with Harrison - £10

Banker time...

That is advantage to you, says Noel. The Banker is excited; he says Hardik has been a great contributor and supporter both in the studio and at the hotel. It is a proper game of good vs evil, he thinks.

Banker's offer:

£10,500

He knows he has the whole room against him, says Noel. Hardik says he's never seen that much money. Hardik's fiancee says this could be the peek, like yesterday.

Hardik says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

I'm sensing this could be Noel vs Hardik's fiancée to decide when/if Hardik's dealing...

Same here.

We're back...

Round 2

Box 19 with Lisa - £100,000

Box 1 with Rich - £750

Hardik changes his mind.

Box 22 with Ben - £100

Banker time...

The Banker has news: there is a romance brewing in the wings, as a smooth operator has joined the wings; it is Bert! The Banker claims Bert has been pulling some moves with Ria; she needed to have her make-up done, and Bert told her she was so nice he thought she'd had it done already!

Banker's offer:

£10,500

Hardik's fiancee says he's not even half-way in yet, and he should think about the box he has on the table. Hannah says Hardik should imagine he is advising someone else.

Hardik says:

NO DEAL

Interesting change of tack from the fiancée there at that offer.

Round 3

Noel chats with Hardik about what he wants to do with his winnings, including taking his mother on a trip to India.

Box 5 with Billy - £20,000

That doesn't really tell us anything, says Noel.

Box 16 with Lucia - £75,000

That screams, says Noel.

Hardik picks Jason next, Noel calls a break...

Think that'll be 1 in 1540.

We're back...

Final box before the Banker...

Box 20 with Jason - £500

Banker time...

Same offer again I reckon.

Noel can't see this being £10,500 again. The Banker says the level of risk is much greater than a stable board.

Banker's offer:

£10,500

Another stick after the £75k AND £20k going?!
