just been browsing through the general discussion forum and there seems to be a lot of talk about systems. i remember watching a show where a musician used a diatonic (sp?) something or other as a system. so basically he chose a box, then missed one then chose another one. and sometimes he chose two boxes that were next to each other. the system didn't work too well at the beginning but then worked out well in the end.

does this show actually exist? and when was it aired? i remember watching it on YouTube but as I can't remember the name of the player I can't seem to find it again. i'll definitely be saving the video to my favourites if i find it again.

help please.

That sounds like Ron's game from May this year. He used a system based on a piano. That may be what you're thinking of.

Yep

Diatonic was mentioned in the commentary of the game so easy to find.

that's the one. thank you both of you

I wonder if Ron's game would've been in the 2011 HoF.

me again. can anyone remember the show where a man started arguing with his wife? and then Noel decides to sit in the front row with the audience. I just can't remember what happened after the argument and am really intrigued as to whether he dealt or not. he'd just been made an offer by the banker. can't remember much more than that

That reminds me of this game back in 2005 if that's what you meant

that's the one. thanks will be good to be able to watch the clip again

just watched the clip. does anyone know if chris dealt at that point? all he said was "I'm ready when you are" and then the clip ended.

Yeah, and the offer was £24,000. You can see a recap here

thanks for the recap Aaron.

It's funny to see the friends and family sat in the front row rather than the position we're used to seeing them in now (3 or 4 rows back from the front)
