Pete's game today with Box 20

Noel describes the studio as a Dream Theatre. We see a replay of Hannah singing (I missed this).

Peter Austin from Basingstoke is an LGV Driving Instructor. Noel starts banter about buses somehow.
A photo shows Pete coming second in the Bus Driver of the Year.
Another photo shows him in a lorry.
Carol, his wife, is in the audience looking terrified. Pete met her on the internet and arranged to meet up. Noel mentions a proposal (not again ).

Housekeeping is done. Here we go!

ROUND 1

Box 16 Kristian - £10,000

Noel asks Amy if she has found love.

Box 19 Amy - £50,000

Noel says that was worthy of a groan.
Noel mocks Dave's shirt AGAIN!
Dave says he's got a good 'peeling' about his box.

Box 5 Dave - £100
Box 21 Kerrie - £250
Box 4 Wai Ling - £15,000

Muted applause but Noel says it's not that bad.

Banker time...

Banker's offer:

£5,216

Banker says he'll give £50 to anyone who says why the offer has the 216 in it. Noel correctly guesses that it is the registration number on the bus!

Pete says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls the break.

Wai Ling was yesterday's newbie!

And that was the most amusing break throw I can recall for a while!

Wai Ling was yesterday's newbie (she replaced Wanda)

Whoops! I didn't see yesterday's show. I didn't know it was on at 2:55.

We're back!

ROUND 2

Box 1 NEWBIE Kirsty - £5

Noel starts banter about Pete's proposal. Pete hid a wedding ring in a Christmas Cracker but when they pulled it, the ring fell in the gravy!

Box 18 Jen - £750
Box 9 Lee - £100,000

Huge groans for that.

Banker time...

Big money keeps going... looks like another one of them games.

Banker says something ironic happened. He went in Noel's dressing to leave the £50 in his wallet but found some keys and he says he's now got a bus.

Banker's offer:

£5,216

Pete says:

NO DEAL

Noel gets Pete to stand in front of the board with Lee wearing glasses. Noel introduces the return of Little 'N' Large!

ROUND 3

Box 15 Mike - £75,000

"Oh no!", says Noel.

Box 11 Kia - £3,000

Some groans and muted applause.

Box 8 Jainaba - After the break...

We're back!

Box 8 Jainaba - £50

Banker time...

Banker says that £5,216 could be the highest Pete may get offered if he loses the £250k.

Banker's offer:

£5,216

Not a chance I'd take this.

Been a while since we had the same offer three times in a row

Pete calls Carole down. She says it's a good offer (no it isn't.)
Pete wants a kitchen, to go to Seychelles and get a new car.
Rachel says there are 8 boxes Pete can afford to hit. Shan thinks he has another 'easy' round. Banker says the odds are in Pete's favour. The chance of hitting the £250k is just over 27%. Noel is asked to pass on the Banker's good luck.
Alan states the obvious by saying that there is a 73% chance of missing the £250k. Dave says bad luck does not last forever. Mike asks if he'd regret having the £250k after dealing.

Eventually, Pete says:

NO DEAL

Break called...

After a lot of thinking time I think we can say a very cautious player. Won't be the same offer again if the £250,000 goes.
