Liz's game today.

Noel says there is an assumption that playing the game is hard when you've seen a huge crash; but it's also hard to play when you've seen a huge win. We see a replay of Roy's deal from Monday. He says Steph backed out far too soon, and may have been influenced by Roy's game, thinking he'd had all the luck.

How many mentions of log flumes are we going to get?

Liz has Box 16.

Elizabeth Weightman, from Derby, a teaching assistant. She has a photo of her in a revealing outfit, when she was an aerobics student; she later became an aerobics teacher, but had to give it up after tearing a ligament. She also has a card made by her grandsons, with Boxes 5, 1 and 19 on the front. Her husband Stuart is in the audience.

Here we go...

That newbie.

Why is the Banker ringing at 20-box?!

Round 1

Jackie is back today. Some rather sick humour follows!

Box 8 with Jackie - £1

The Banker calls, and says he preferred it when Jackie wasn't in!

Box 17 with Lee - 10p

Noel says Gareth does pole-dancing for his health and entertainment! The Banker calls, and says he doesn't believe it, and wants to see it for himself! He asks if anyone knows where he can get a pole from!

Box 5 with Gareth - £100

Box 6 with Tim - £75,000

Box 14 with Ratan - £35,000

Banker time...

Two great boxes, and a couple of kicks, says Noel. The Banker prides himself on his integrity; he's just a businessman playing a game. His doesn't like deception, though; he says he can't make an offer, as he's too distracted by Gareth's pole-dancing allegations! A dancing pole is bought in! The Banker says Liz will get a generous offer if Gareth will give us a demo! Gareth agrees!

Noel calls a break...

What ever happened to a NORMAL GAME?!

We're back...

The pole is now set up. The Banker needs Gareth to sign a waver first; Gareth says he will sue the Banker if he hurts himself! Gareth then gives us a (rather impressive) demo! The Banker says he wants to be sarky, but he can't! He gives Gareth £100 for his performance!

Banker's offer:

£12,000

Liz says it's an amazing offer.

Liz says:

NO DEAL

Finally after 22 minutes the first offer is known...

I don't think normal games exist anymore because of the following factors:

1. Noel being Noel.
2. Wacky or eccentric contestants.
3. Randomness from the Banker.
4. The occasional fudging of the game's rules.
5. Other assorted random and bizarre things.

Oh no, did we REALLY need to see a replay of Teresa's annoying voice?!

Round 2

Box 15 with Katie - £5,000

We see a replay of Teresa likening Matt to a rabbit with a car coming towards it!

Box 3 with Matt - £10

Box 20 with Marcia - £250

Banker time...

I'm guessing about £15,000 here.

£2,000 increase from a very good round...

You cannot expect every offer to be as generous as the first, that was so generous because of the performance.

Liz says it's such a massive amount of money. Noel asks what other show offers up that sort of money, and how £14,000 is around the top prize on other shows. Liz tells of her husband having a quadruple heart bypass back in 2002.

Liz says:

NO DEAL
