Box 11 - Rob - £50,000

The Banker's offer after the break...

Aww, but Helen's box openings are great!

This is the first episode of DOND I've seen since Lyndsay's repeat on August 4th, due to being on holiday. I did get Adrienne, Play...ah, stuff it, Madie, and Jan's games, though, as I set the video while I was away (could record the first few shows to fill up the tape) but for some reason instead of Jayne's game I got 45 minutes of The Six O Clock News on BBC One. Similar problems meant that I'll have to record the More4 +1 repeat of today's game, as the picture froze for about 30 seconds during the first half.

Certainly lots of change in those two weeks, I see, though Noel's still explaning the rules at every opportunity, still getting excited at £4,000 opening offers, and the audience are still 'Aww!'ing at Noel's break links. Pretty soon it'd just be silence, then bemused clappings.

The Banker's offer is £8,200

Wow I can see Sara's legs! I didn't know the contestants had legs!

Becky asks her friend in the audience, she says no deal.

Becky No Deals.

Box 15 - Audrey - £750

Box 9 - Karen - £20,000

Box 4 - John - 50p

Banker time...

He offers £24,000

Nina says if it was her she would no deal.

Becky says £24,000 is beyond her expectation.

Becky No Deals.

Box 17 - Jeff - £10,000

Box 16 - Sara - £5

Box 14 after the break...

I want to watch it!!! Stupid non-More 4-having Welsh households. I've set the tape though, like the sad *beep* I am, so I can watch four games when I get home!

"No one has ever won 1p" - ah, those were the days.

Blimey, this game is good. Noel's said "This is the best game we've ever had!" about 20 times now. In fact, Noel's in super-weird mode today, peering over contestants heads and stuff.

Although it did always seem to be a jinx that if Noel said something like that, it would immediately go horribly, horribly wrong.

Box 14 - Andy - £100,000

The Banker offers £20,000

After alot of thought, Becky decides to DEAL.

Box 6 - £250,000

Box 2 - Raj - £500

Box 19 - Eddie - £3,000

The banker would have offered £14,000

She wanted £15,000

Box 22 - Jason - £75,000

Box 8 - Mary-Ann - 1p

Box 18 - Kai - £35,000

The banker would have offered £400

She had £10 in her box 1 all along.
Box 12 - Rita - £1,000

And £100k is revealed immediately after my last post.

Well, she won £20,000...despite Noel going on how she beat the banker, she technically didn't as she could have won £24,000, but still a good result. All the games I've seen so far I remember watching on their original showing, but I know there's quite a few around early December I missed, including John's...so there'll at least be one DOND I've never seen before. At the time, of course, More4 didn't repeat the shows.

Just a question - who invented "I'm ready for the question/Ask me the question"? The first person I remember using it was Geordie, but I'm sure it was in use before then.
