Marcia's game today.

Noel welcomes us to the second Deal in Space special. He talks about the brilliant start to the week we had with Gareth yesterday; we see a repeat of his successful attempt at the remote controlled twist.

Marcia has Box 16.

Marcia Ellington, from Bristol, activities coordinator in a care home. She has a photo of herself at work with some of the ladies she cares for, and another of her two children. Her husband is in the audience; Marcia says he wants to become a tattooist.

Noel reminds of the 5-box twist, which he thinks is the hardest skill twist they've had. Marcia thinks she's up for it!

Here we go...

1p from Dot!

Round 1

Box 8 is being kept to the end.

Box 10 with Ratan - £50

We see a replay of Jeff being beamed out yesterday!

Box 14 with Leonie - £100

Leonie struggles to get the box open!

Box 15 with Bex - 50p

Box 4 with Dot - 1p

First all-blue start of 2013?

Box 11 with Matt - £5

Banker time...

All blue opening round

Offer should be £15,000 or over.

I'd expect more than £15,000 after that round.

Noel says the Banker won't like that at all! The Banker asks if he can call the party off; he is refused, and then abruptly hangs up! He then asks if we can start again!

Banker's offer:

£17,000

Marcia is shocked by that, but she feels like she's on to a winner here.

Marcia says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

51% of the mean is very generous at the opening offer!

£17,000. Well, the banker clearly sees her as a HUGE threat, so hopefully she goes to 5 box with the £250,000 in play and wins mega-money.

I have to say that I'm glad I wasn't at the recording of these shows. Those 'ASTEROID!' moments would be making me want to puke!

We're back...

Round 2

Noel wants to keep this going. We then get another asteroid attack!

Box 22 with Sam - £1,000

Box 13 with Katie - £50,000

First proper impact, says Noel.

Box 12 with newbie Bradley - £10

Banker time...

You ever been there before?

Interestingly, that is the FIRST Bradley to be on DOND!

The Banker was hoping for an all-red round; he is not pleased with the newbie! He also reveals that Marcia has a practice at the twist, and managed it in less than 90 seconds!

Banker's offer:

£20,000

The Banker REALLY doesn't want her at 5-box!

Noel says that's one of the highest second offers of all time. We turn to her husband for a chat; she calls him Booboo, which annoys him! He says it's an amazing amount of money, but it's a strong board. The Banker calls, and says he sounds like he knows what he's talking about; after all, he's smarter than the average bear!

Marcia says:

NO DEAL

Had the £50,000 been a blue, this almost certainly would've been the governor. Hopefully she continues on to 5 box as she'll probably succeed the twist.

I can't believe Noel didn't call the £75,000 a booboo!
Missed opportunity for a bad joke.

Round 3

Can you keep it going, asks Noel.

Box 9 with Mark - £75,000

Box 1 with Aurea - £250

Another robotic box opening from Aurea!
