Great offer but it's on a great, stable board. NO DEAL.

8, 12 and 3 next please

No question about the stability here, it really is incredible.

What will we see here?

Box 8 - £11,000 is fine...

Box 12 - £35,000 less so, but there's three blues in that territory...

Box 3 - £103,750! Definitely a damaging round, but it'll take even more than that to destroy this board!

£30,000.10

The Banker is scratching his head at this configuration, he's just seen a round where the top prize and two five-figure reds went and the board is still solid!

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,051 + MICROSOFT SURFACE LAPTOP

That laptop is courtesy of John Lewis and valued at £1,439, so it's almost another five-figure offer in all! It'd be safe regardless of what you did on the optional Box 23 with £8,051, if you take this offer of course... Deal or No Deal?

I'm saying NO DEAL at this stage.

2, 18 and 17 to take us to 11 box

Box 2 - £30,000.10 is the first of those big blues to vanish into the big blue sea...

Box 18 - 1p! THAT is always welcome to see!

Box 17 - £50,000 completes another damaging round, but again you still have plenty to play for!

What a fascinating game this is. The Banker is as confused as anyone.

BANKER'S OFFER

£11,250

Back to the first offer, the top of the game so far... will it be the top of the game right to the end? If you take it, you'll hope so, but if you turn it down, you'll hope not! Deal or No Deal?

It's a comfortable NO DEAL!

7, 1 and 22

There's still plenty of big boxes here, and now we'd like a round where we only take out one of them!

Box 7 - £750! Down to two true blues!

Box 1 - £4,000! At worst, we're going to have a round with only one big hit... could you possibly avoid all SIX of the five-figure amounts?!?

Box 22 -

We may not have the biggest top prize we've ever seen in this series of Deal or No Deal, but we're one box away from a quite remarkably high bottom prize.

£30,000.50
£36,001
£5
£8,050
£13,000
£13,000
£23,000
£75,000

The Banker almost wonders if it's worth making an offer with that configuration!

But make one he does...

BANKER'S OFFER

RENAULT ZOE + £100 ON 23

The car is worth £18,420. Box 23 could add another five grand with it. That is no ordinary offer on a £75k game at 8-box. But this is no ordinary £75k game at 8-box...

...Deal or No Deal?

It's looking good for me! NO DEAL!

19, 9 and 11..

A quickfire ND that close to the average shows just how stable this board is... or does it show our player not recognising how generous that was? Or both?!?

Spoiler boxes ready for this one...

Box 19 -

Box 9 -


Box 11 -

This is one amazing game.

I don't know what to do so at this stage it's best to NO DEAL.

14, 13 and 5

...if ever there was a time when that was the SAFEST way to play, it's this.

Three boxes away from the clarity of a two-box showdown. There is still the distinct possibility of taking more money from this Banker than anyone has ever done before.

Here we go!

Box 14 -


Box 13 -


Box 5 -

The Banker says he may have fallen in love with how complicated that 5-box situation was and got too cryptic!

This one's straightforward. What you see is what you get. What you see...

BANKER'S OFFER

RENAULT ZOE

...is an £18,420 car. Turn this down, you get one of those two pot-inflated blues and a Box 23 option.

Deal or No Deal?

Well, I don't need a car. NO DEAL!

The Banker says that he can't remember the last time he had so much fun with a game where you went to the end!

Swap is offered...

As usual, I'll NO SWAP

Whatever happens, it's been a fantastic battle

What will happen?

On the table in Box 16...

There is this money menu still...

DOUBLE (£60,001)
+£5,000 (£35,000.50)
+£2,500 (£32,500.50)
MONEY BACK (£30,000.50)
HALF (£15,000.25)
NOTHING

Only one big-time uplift there, but that uplift would give you the biggest win ever against this Banker. But, for the first time all game, you would have to risk everything to do so...

...to buy Box 23, Deal or No Deal?
