We've had some quite enormous scares for the Banker lately, even if he got out of some of them less damaged than he could have been... ARCHIE is looking to catch that momentum and hope it's not run out!

All games start the same way of course, with The Configurator... player power, Banker power, offer pattern, and money menu all a 1-4 pick away!

3,2,1,2 please!

The wheel is back for a percentage or prize bonus at the end after your classic DOUBLE/+£10,000/MONEY BACK/HALF/NOTHING 25 and a game with the 5-3-3-3-3-3-2 offer pattern in effect. Five your first, two your last, three your rest.

The board sees two boxes reduced by 99% - but they're the two best ones you could've drawn for that, £1,000 and £35,000! Lovely stuff. Gives you this board:

You have Box 22 on the table, of course that's not where the box counting ends. The Banker will feel he's due some luck, but is this where he gets it? Time to find out. GAME ON!

Lovely!

1, 4, 7, 14 and 21 please!

And away we go!

Box 1 - £100. As good a place as any to start!

Box 4 - £150,000! Good your first, ghastly your next.

Box 7 - 10p! Firing back with the second-lowest after hitting the second-highest...

Box 14 - £50,000! Another big hit back!

Box 21 - £25 gives you the colour balance back, but he'll feel like that's his round...

...which would be understandable considering you're down to three amounts above £20k already, but when they're the classic top three and you have a wheel on your side, he cannot relax!

BANKER'S OFFER

£5,500

That's his first bid... three boxes before his next. Deal or No Deal?

NO DEAL!

12, 5 and 2 please

An inevitability about that, but not about these...

Box 12 - £15,000 is shaky, but if we get on a run here we might not miss it!

Box 5 - £50 could be the start of such a run...

Box 2 - £250,000!! Ooof. This really does look like the Banker's luck is turning.

"I needed this game," he says over the phone!

He's paid out an average of over £31,000 in the last five games and was very lucky to only pay out £10,500 in the game before that...

BANKER'S OFFER

£3,500

...but we're some way from even that level here, after that last box! Deal or No Deal?

NO DEAL

16, 17 and 9

The recovery starts here, maybe?

Box 16 - £75,000! Oh no it doesn't

Box 17 - £350 is at least your fake red!

Box 9 - £10 in the original colour, there's still something to play for here!

Still a chance you can rinse him for a record win. Still a much better chance he gets his first blue win in a good while.

Oh dear... Still, 100k to chase!

The chase is on.. NO DEAL!

11, 10 and 6

And nobody's won more than £75,000 in this game yet!

Box 11 - £5,000...

Box 10 - £10,000 and it really is increasingly about one box...

Box 6 - £5 is very not that box!

Nothing much changed, you could say, that round?

OK! NO DEAL!

8, 15 and 20!

He wants more than £5,500, and now we'll see if the board lets him get it!

Box 8 - £20,000! One box away from confirming he was right...

Box 15 -

Box 20 -

BANKER'S OFFER

Second stick of the game. Is THIS your last escape route? If you survive three boxes, you have quite a different situation... if you don't, it's all over bar the postgame. Deal or No Deal?
