Keith's game today.

Noel talks about Emily's gamble yesterday...he says that when she came to the crazy chair, he didn't think she'd risk £11,500 with a 50% chance of £100, but she took the chance, and it was just bad luck that it did not pay off for her...he says that blue wins are becoming more and more frequent, and hopefully we can change that today....here's the board...



Keith has Box 11 today. Keith Nile is a 66-year old postman from Bath...Keith says he's been in the business for a very long time...Noel says he looks very fit for 66, as he still runs the London Marathon every year...Keith says he loves raising money for charity each year, and he hopes to attempt the marathon every year until the day he dies....his wife Mary was in the audience to support him, but she had to leave yesterday! Keith says his daughter Heather is still here though, so he's not alone...

We see some pictures of Keith's family...Noel asks what Keith's attitude to the game is, and Keith says we'll just have to wait and see....

Here we go...

Opening round...Keith says he'll start with the newbie as he knows how nerve-wracking is it on your first show!

18 - £10 Newbie Kay

19 - £750 Pamela

6 - £10,000 May

13 - £1,000 Claudia

Looking good, Noel says...

5 - 1p Patrick S

Banker time



Noel says it's one of the better board we've seen, and Keith agrees. The banker rings and says that after 37 games, he's just beginning to fully understand to see how different players work, so Keith keeping quiet about his veiws on the game is a clever move...

Banker offers

£4,900

Keith says it's a very good offer...he says there's a lot in the game still...

Keith says

NO DEAL

Next round...

14 - £35,000 Nikki

Your first big hit, Noel says...

3 - 50p Greg

Noel says this is shaping up really well, as Keith is coming across as quite mysterious...he calls a break

Welcome back
Last box before the banker...

2 - £5 Nigel

Banker time



A very good board, Noel says...Keith says it would have been a dream to keep the £35,000 in, but he's happy. The banker rings and says it's interesting how Keith gives off the impression of being a gambler, despite not saying anything...

Banker offers

£11,500

Applause for that...a familiar offer, Noel says, as it's the sum Emily turned down yesterday before winning £100....he tells Keith it's a warning from the banker, not to be foolish like Emily....Keith says it's very generous...he asks Claudia who says she's sure there's another round in it

Keith says

NO DEAL

Next round...

12 - £100,000 Patrick O

Big groans....

10 - £500 Ashleyne

22 - £50 Millie

Banker time



Noel asks what Keith makes of the round, and Keith says he thinks he balanced the £100,000 with 2 blues...Noel says the board looks imbalanced in our favour, and that's great. The banker rings and says that it's been a while since we've had one of those rounds where the board is completley destroyed, and he thinks Keith is about to have one...

Banker offers

£17,200

Keith says he has a lot of respect for that offer...he says there are still 5 amazing amounts on the board....Noel says he should ask for advice, and Keith thinks it's always good to ask the newbie...Kay says that it's a lot of money, but it's a safe board, so she has no idea what she'd do...yeah, what good that was, Noel says...Brenda tells Keith that yesterday, Emily was still happy that she'd taken the risk even though it went wrong...she asks him whether he can cope with finding the top three in the next round...Millie says that the banker could have punished him more after finding the £250,000, but he's been quite kind...

Keith says

NO DEAL

Next round...Noel says there's a lot of support for Keith in the studio today...

20 - £250 Brenda

Big cheers for that, Brenda gets a kiss...Keith says he's going to be brave and choose Irene...please not £50,000 for the fifth time, Noel begs...Irene wishes Keith the best of luck

4 - £250,000 Irene

Silence...even worse, Noel says...Keith says he's gutted about that, he tells Irene it's not her fault. Noel says this could take some time to readjust to...he calls a break...

Welcome back to Keith's game
One more box to go...

8 - £3,000 Nea

Banker time



There's still some big money on the board for you, Keith, Noel says...Keith agrees as the banker rings and says that this game will slowly fall apart...he's offering Keith a way out before it collapses...he tells him to once again, think of Emily...

Banker offers

£11,500

Back to the second offer, Noel says...Keith tells Noel he really doesn't want this game to collapse, and he admits that he needs the money...he asks Claudia, who says that she would probably go on, but she gets the feeling a deal could be right for Keith. Barry thinks he would go for it...Keith asks his wife, who tells him that they can't afford to leave with a blue....

Keith says

The audience applaud and Keith says it's a lot of money...

We now must continue and play on as you would, except now, we're hoping for the £75,000 to be revealed, Noel says...

15 - £5,000 Benjamin

Not good enough, Noel says instantly...

7 - £20,000 Brian

Some claps from the audience, but Noel says Keith must hit one of the big two now!

1 - £75,000 Peter

Big cheers...

Banker time



Noel says he thinks Keith's done it for now...

Banker would have offered



Keith smiles and the audience cheer him on

Next round...we continue the proveout, and you must find £50,000 and £15,000, Noel says!

17 - £50,000 Barry (:

Huge cheers, Barry gets a handshake from Keith!

9 - £1 Sebastian

16 - 10p Laurence

Banker time with £100 and £15,000 remaining



The £100 again, says Noel...he says at this point, the banker could still win as £15,000 could be in Keith's box! The banker rings and says that he's sure it is...

Banker would have offered

The £100 has come to the table twice this week already, and was won by Lola, and then by Emily...were you on your way to being the third, or did the banker beat you all along, Noel says...

Noel opens Box 11 and reveals £100

Everyone cheers!

Scarlett opens Box 21 and reveals £15,000

So £11,500 is now yours, Noel says..Keith says he's thrilled with it...Noel tells us that usually, the player finds out they could have won a lot more if they hadn't dealt, but today, Keith could have had the most money if he'd dealt a bit earlier!
