Ooh I'm looking forward to friday

Cheers for that, Jonny! I don't mind knowing when people play- it doesn't spoil it at all for me.

The reason why Lucy has been there so long is because she lives nearby so it won't take long to get home!

Let's do it properly:

does anyone know the exact colour code for matching the background?

Nicely done! Almost totally invisible!

I don't think these are exact:

the background alternates, but for posts on the bluer background the code you want is

and for the lighter background you need

Thanks bushy!

"A quarter of million pounds, twenty-two identical sealed boxes and no questions except one......When will Lucy play?

I think Noel should start saying that from now on.

Indeed. She had £250k in her box today (David's show), and must have thought: if only I'd been playing today, I've been on long enough now!!

I knew she'd have the quarter of million in her box. It was predictable. In every box she's had they've all contained blues and it was about time she had a big sum.

Lets hope she keeps that run going until her show, then. It'd be a shame if it was an anti-climax, given the amount of time she's been on.

That would be so unlucky if she walks away with 1p after all that waiting But I doubt she will. I hope she wins big.

Can't wait untill James' game. He seems like a no nonsence with the banker kinda guy.

I think he'd make a good James Bond...

i'd be more disappointed if she got an 'ok' amount like £6,000. nice amount, but not very memorable. she deserves an interesting sum. whether that be 1p or £250k. hopefully the latter

I think a memorable show would be great when Lucy comes on, and anything more winnings wise would be a bonus. But I can't see her getting 1p (or, dare I say it, a massive sum), as I don't get the impression she's a big gambler (- I may be wrong though). Her advice is often cautious and so I think she'll be sensible and keep her feet on the ground when its her turn in the chair. After all, she'll have seen enough games first hand by then to know pretty much every permutation possible!

Thinking about it, when Lucy first came on, Geordie was standing next to her (albeit he played that same game), then Gary was next to her, and now Nick. If he plays before her (and he should be up reasonably soon, I reckon), then she'll have stood next to 4 people in her time on the programme. That'd be extraordinary!

I was trying to work out how many players there are who arrived after Lucy first came on and have departed before her - have come up with 19 (including Audrey who did not play). Looks like there will be another 10 who depart before she gets her game!
