He surely can't go down on £6k. That offer would still be crap now.

Definitely not as bad as everyone is making out...

Noel says we've had a few games lately where one box has dominated proceedings - the Banker says this is the third in a row where the £250k has been intact but exposed, and he talks of 11-box Deals being viable.

Banker's offer:

£6,750

Matt says NO DEAL

£6,750?!! Why are these offers so crap?!

Matt made the fourth-round offer a whole lot easier to deflate by saying "I can't believe I'm doing this."

Box 15 (Sabine) - £10

Box 18 (Ann) - £10,000
If that had been almost anything else they'd have had to reshoot that, surely? You couldn't see the value!

Noel says the £1,000 is important too because it'd make it 5-3.

Box 14 (Lewis) - £250
And there you have it!

"That is a big result, that is a big box, that one." Banker time!

I would offer £20k here.

"Disastrous round" for the Banker. "Transformed the game."

Banker's offer:

£14,000

£14,000?! Come on Banker, you can do better than that!

Matt thinks it's clever. Julian mentions the £20k and £50k as well as the £250k. Matt speaks about his wing viewing, and how he's reacted - "I haven't cried since 2004," he says, but he's thought about crying on the wings, and reckons he's not so far off now. His wife talks up the £20,000 as remaining even after the 1 in 56 crash.

Cue quoting of "OHO" and the misinterpretation thereof to justify a NO DEAL for what he calls "[the] biggest decision of my life."

Not sure why that double post happened...

30 minutes left at 8-box!

Final break at half past of the show...

That statement is the cue for Noel to talk up Part 4 after the break...

because The Banker always judges the player when to set the offers, rather than use a computer to calculate them.

Now that Matt has said the "Only Here Once" phrase, maybe the Banker will take him more seriously.

Hopefully the banker's miserlyness is going to cost him later.....

If the next one is blue, I'd want the offer starting with a 5.

Complaints about the offers can be a right pain in the... Anadin sponsors Deal or No Deal.

WE'RE BACK! Noel has hopped aboard the Hyperbole Express, calling the game "vast". He then also says keeping the top four would mean he'd be "guaranteed" life-changing money. Only if he dealt. Remember Esher?

ROUND FIVE

Box 3 (Jade) - £1,000
Safe red. De facto blue.

"If you can find two blues, you ARE going to change your life forever."

Box 22 (?) - 10p
Squealing! And who can blame them?

"This box is worth potentially tens of thousands." "If I can beat the death box, I can beat the curse of the newbie." His wife is in tears. Why did he cry in 2004? His father died.

Box 2 (newbie Suwanna) - £250,000
And he's possibly crying again.

Banker time...

Unnecessary build up from Noel!

Lowest offer of the game now I expect.

If that was a blue... I would expect over £30,000 would have been offered.
