Yep, there's only a certain amount of topics regarding the show you can post, and now we're really delving deep!

Many contestants have interesting ways of opening their boxes (Tom, especially ) I wondered if anyone had a favourite? Just to jog people's memories', I'll start off with a few:

Bianca: Often opened with such velocity, Bianca's box lids never stood a chance. Especially at the end of Nessie's cruel game, showing her defiance toward the situation and sympathy toward Nessie, she flung the lid up like there was no tomorrow!

Raj(2): One of the long-runners, Raj had a tendancy to flick the lid up in a very theatrical yet masculine manner. One instance that springs to mind is in Morris' game "Morris a man, that's honest and true, I hope this is...another blue!" £100,000........

Robotic Rich: Aptly named for hisbox opening style, it seemed as if the welshman had a piece of string attached to his arms that someone would violently pull just as he opened his boxes!

Buddy: Possibly one of my favourites, Buddy's open-fingered revelations of the amounts in his boxes certainly caught my attention, so elegant and free!

Marcus: Mainly due to his intense finger jewellery, Marcus would wrap his fingers round the edge of the lids to signify his very unique opening style.

Lofty: Is it me, or did Lofty seem to move the whole top half of his body every time he opened his boxes? Anyway, whatever he was doing, it stuck in my mind!

Nancy: The fixed positive expression on everysingle box opening caught the attention of most avid viewers, such a lovely lady!

Any other suggestions? Agree with any of these?

i liked the way francesca opened her boxes, it was very quick

What about when they don't open. If anyone remembers Russell's hysterical game, I could get the blinking thing open and was laughing so much I couldnt speak!

How about June?

What about Jim from January/February time?

Or welsh David's ultra-slow, almost torturous, way of lifting the lid?

Helen from ages ago from the begginning lifted the lid very slowly aswell

JUNE! LEGEND! (I don't often use the word legend, so I really mean it!) - She was short, and due to the camera angles, you could only see her head peeping out above the box when she opened it! I think the banker made reference to that, too.

Pierre - fairly fast opening the box, often accompanied with taking a deep breath and giving a sideways look to the player!

(Current) Paul - the one with the blonde spikey hair - the sideways smile he gives when he opens it - he seems like a nice bloke!

Geordie - punching theair when he opened his box!

Oh, by the way, I think Pat M could be described as a legend as well!

Sandra gives such a cool smile after she's opened it...it's like "There you go!". I love her.

Oooh, and I loved the way Barbara whispered "It's the two fifty" as she opened her box in Sarah H's game...and it was! How cool.

And Dot would always grin and give a thumbs up!

Dot only did that once.

Really? Wow, my memory must be wrong...I thought she did it all the time. (Or every time she had a blue, which was practically always.)

Oooh, and Roy would always deliver one of two speeches:

1. "This is my xth show, and I've got Box x, so I hope that's a good omen."

2. "I've had lots of low/high numbers lately, so I hope this breaks the trend."

Every time. I loved Roy.

Geodrie used to pull the seal, and slam it onto the desk, and then open his box.

Buddy lifted his box way to much, sometimes it caused the card on the inside to become loose.

Sally and Raj never used to open it enough, could hardly what was in it.

On one game, when Fin opened his box, he held the front of it while pulling the seal and then grapped the lid and pulled it up.

Chris (Male) lifted the lid of the box with his finger tips.

Some guy from the LTL on the first show, tried to open the box without pulling the seal!

Joseph would slam his hand down on the top really violently...it was a bit scary!

LOL so true! I was like.....Roy...didn't you say that the show before last? And then then the show before that one as well?? LOL what ya doin Roy! good old Roy. AHAHAHAAA

Yea dan I#'ve also noticed Sandra doin that smile as she opens the box as well! It's like "Here, look at the good number I've got" Should be interesting to see what her game's like

I liked Colin's stories when he opened his boxes!!!

Andy K in Jennifer's game always makes me laugh!

Mark Wilkes used to lean on his box while pulling seal.

Joan peeled the seal off once.

Someone pulled the seal off too violently recently and the crowd gasped!

And who can forget the guy with the "ooh" face on the viewer game a while back.

He said, "There are 5 elephants in here"... and he revealed £5!



"Go on, go on, say it to me, it's in here, the 10p!" [violently opens box and reveals 10p with a huge smile on his face! ]



Do you mean that she pulled the whole seal thing off once, or that she only managed to open it properly once?



Yeah, and Noel did an impression of him. It was on YouTube, don'tk now if it still is, or not.

She went to peel it from bottom to top, and Noel was like "pull it"

I also liked Tom's unusual style of opening the box (chucking it on the floor).

Haha, I loved the way Lindsay opened her first box...she somehow managed to show everyone what was inside before she'd even properly opened it!

And Nessie opened one really crappily once...I can't remember whose game it was! But I loved that too. (Edit: It was Drew's!)

Sarah couldn't get the seal off properly on her first show...it was so sweet.
