Brian's game today.

Noel talks about last week and how it has been a courageous week, also Adrian's (The Plank )game where everyone thought he had dealt way too early, but he proved he made the correct decision

Brian has box 2 today, but they don't play "Postman Pat" while he takes the walk of wealth

Brian shows us a pic of him in a half marathon and Noel says he thought it was a Michael Fish lookalike competition!! Brian has his wife in the audience for support today. Brian says his target is £250,000 As he has so many commitments.

Here we go...

Round 1

22 - £50 Newbie Ian

6 - £50,000 Some groans for one of the power 5

7 - £1,000 That's fine says Noel, anything £5,000 is OK

20 - 50p Big cheers for the low blue

15 - £1

Banker time

Brian says he is happy with that. Noel tells the banker he had a great Saturday after the beating that the banker took last week The banker is feeling down as he has split up with Mortitia, he says he is now back on the market

Banker offers

£11,500

It's a good opening offer says Brian and Noel agrees, he says the banker is a little nervous after this courageous streak of late

Brian says

NO DEAL

Next round

12 - £100
Brian recalls that 17 has recently always had low numbers, Noel says yesterday it had £15,000 - Brian says that is low...
17 - £5

Brian asks Noel if he wants a break Noel nips off while Brian does the break link

Looking good so far.

We're back
Last box before the banker
Noel is sat in the audience while Brian does the intro to part 2 He introduces Noel to us who will take over now

5 - £250,000 Big groans as Doug again struggles with his box

Banker time

Me and my big mouth

Did anyone else notice how just as he was picking the first box, and the guy said "Good luck", and it went back to Brian muttering "Thanks", the board around Brian's head was what it was meant to be after the second box? (£10 and £50,000 gone).

Brian says it's a different game now and he will have to take out a loan for £150,000 now He says it needs to be a very low interest rate of 1 or 2 % Noel says it's now Loan or No Loan, the banker says that the following call may be recorded for training or security purposes!! He says there would quite a few T&Cs with any loan taken out with him!!!

Banker offers

£7,564

...I thought I imagined that.

Noel asks where did that number come from, Brian is unsure and Noel points out it was the number on his marathon vest and says the show is a marathon and not a sprint

Brian says

NO DEAL

My prediction: A sixth offer deal of £30,000 with a £75k and £10k finish.

Next round

8 - 10p

19 - £100,000 Big groans, Noel says the loan has just increased

4 - £10 cheers for the blue

Banker time

Brian says you are always going to take some reds out and there are still some good reds there and also some nice back-ups as well. The banker talks about Adrian and how he thought Adrian had blown it at the 3rd offer, the banker thinks Brian will also go here...

Banker offers

£10,000

Get rid of that 1p and there's nothing below £250 left! Unfortunately he seems to be taking out both ends of the board and leaving the middle values.

Julian's going to be round a while...I can't imagine him leaving!

Brian goes to Julian who says it's still a decent board and to take a chance on one more round

Brian says

NO DEAL

Next round
Brian asks Rich what he thinks he has in his box, Rich says he is not good at guessing his boxes, Noel says he has been totally useless so far!! Brian sticks with Rich

3 - £250 Rich is nearly right with his low red prediction

16 - £15,000 Ohhhh No says Noel, it's a hole in the comfort zone...

Brian asks is it time for another break, and does the break link again
