The Banker comments on Box 23 and that you won't want to buy it with any winnings, so you're looking for a decent deal. He wonders at the third offer if this is enough..

BANKER'S OFFER

£20,000

My instinct seeing that board was that this had to be at least £20k... And sure enough, £20k it is.

It's enough to at least make me check this board, noting the gap to the top two, but with the depth of backup on the other side of that, it's a board I can afford to play out, even though that 23 is indeed an incentive not to. It's too stable to take half the mean here, so I shan't. NO DEAL.

15, 19, 21.

No mention of you using YOUR button, so here we go with what could be a full round, only if The Banker doesn't push his.

Box 15-

£20,000

The offer you just declined as been found.

Box 19-

£750

One away from what could be a great 8 Box.

Box 21-

£1

And there it is!

We could be on for ANOTHER great game!

You've got such a strong board and it's now time to pull out an offer which will, and I quote, "SURELY has to get KP to Deal.."

Now, remember you both still have your Offer Buttons..

BANKER'S OFFER

£31,000

Goodness only knows what the Banker button will do to this game.

That's a legitimate bid for the box, no doubt about it. The stability invites me on, but it could be said to be overstated because there's only two really big boxes? Then again, the real benefit of stability is making a crash less likely, and you won't see many more comfortable boards to crumble on than this outside of things like Red Mist.

NO DEAL!

11 and 13 before I reassess.

After turning down a really big offer from The Banker, on we go...

Box 11-

£10,000

We know that's a good start.

Box 13-

£50

THAT box means you're guaranteed £3,000 from the main game!

This is starting to feel like *ONE OF THOSE GAMES*!!

Now, you're one away from your 5 box offer. Do you wish to push your Button?

I would, but I've seen how that's worked out for Leah in these double-button games.

9, please!

Completing this round..

As long as you stay away from the top 2, who knows where The Banker will go..

Box 9-

Now your big back-up has gone, he's not fearing this board as much. That being said, you are in a powerful position.

BANKER'S OFFER

£35,000

On some level it's now a one-box game. The button(s) may mean I don't have a 60% chance of losing that before the next offer, but who's to say that will be more generous than this?

Besides, using my own button at 4-box would be a panicky Deal signal. So I have to open two, for a 40% chance of losing it, and I'm not sold on the reward being quite enough to warrant that. Then again, there's a lid on the downside too...

..DEAL. Would have gone 7, 5, button, 3.

It's a DEAL for £35,000!

Box 7-

£35,000

He'd have used HIS button now to offer you..

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£28,500

Another offer after this box.

Box 5-

£250,000

The PERFECT DEAL!

**RING**

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£8,500

Box 3-

£5,000

So, it would have been £3,000 v £26,000

...wow. And I'd have turned that £28,500 down...

**RING**

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£12,000

And now.. Did your Box actually contain 1p, which was turned into £26,000?

Box 1-

£26,000

It did! Amazing..

Box 17-

£3,000

Now for Box 23..

I don't think anybody expects you to play this, however, here's your #MoneyMenu

DOUBLE = £70,000
BOX 23 JACKPOT (£30,000) = £65,000
MONEY BACK = £35,000
-£5,000 = £30,000
HALF = £17,500
QUARTER = £8,750
NOTHING

So, you managed to get a Banker Spanking from the main game! With £35,000, would you like to buy Box 23, Deal or No Deal?

Hell to the no. NO DEAL, hypo 2.
