Noel talks about Ashleyne's game and how after three amazing games this week, it seemed a bit flat...she got £14,002, but in the end there was £51,000 for her...Noel tells today's player that players who make the most of the oppurtunity are the ones who get the big money - but also the ones that end up with blues when gambles go wrong...let's look at the board...



Brian has Box 10 today. Noel says he hasn't heard cheers like these when the player takes the walk of wealth before! Brian Catholton is a 28-year old civil engineer from Liverpool...Noel tells Brian he can see he's very popualar already! We meet Brian's partner Lucy who is in the audience...Brian shows us some pictures of his 3 year old son Mikey...Brian says Mikey and Lucy mean everything to him...Noel asks about Brian's attitude towards the game...Brian says it depends on the game in question, as sometime's he's a gambler and sometime's he's a total coward! He says he's likely to deal on risky boards, as he's seen that chasing money is not a good way to play the game...Noel says he thinks that's about it...

Brian confirms Box 10 was chosen at random before the show...he tells the audience that we're going to have a great game, and he wants everyone behind him...he tells them to cheer really loudly for the blues AND for the reds...Noel says that's a weird veiw on things, and Brian says it'll make everything more positive...

Here we go...

Opening round...

2 - £500 Olivia

22 - £15,000 Sam

More cheers...Noel says they may be over doing it!

14 - 50p Gabe

8 - £100 Georgina

7 - 1p Patrick

Massive cheers...a great start, Noel says!

Banker time



Noel says it's a fantastic start, and Brian agrees...Noel says the banker's taking a long time to ring, and he thinks he's very scared! The banker rings and says he's not scared...he says it's obvious all Brian wants is to take home a modest sum, and he thinks Brian will deal the second we get to £20,000....IF we get to £20,000...

Banker offers

£5,100

Brian says it's a fantastic sum of money...he says he thinks the banker is understimating him at the moment...

Brian says

NO DEAL

Next round...keep this great board great Noel says!

21 - £10,000 Nikki

Fine, Brian says...he tells the audience to cheer louder and Noel says he's getting a headache!

11 - 10p Jimmy

Perfection, Noel says, and Brian cheers....Noel says this is the noisiest game yet...he tells everyone to turn down the volume on their TVs during the break!

Welcome back to Brian's game!

Noel says he thinks you should turn the volume back up as Brian's going to make the audience be a bit quieter now...Brian says his girlfriend Lucy does jazz hands instead of clapping when their son is sleeping, so he tells the audience to do that when he finds the £1 now!

4 - £100,000 Amie

Banker time



Noel says that was a shame as we had a nice stack of 6 there...Brian says it's not too bad, as the £250,000 is still there...the banker rings and says that if Brian is trying to fool him into thinking he's here for £250,000, he's very mistaken!

Banker offers

£8,800

Brian says he thinks the board is worth at least £10,000...he asks the audience what they think and they all cheer...Noel says he thought we were doing jazz hands now!

Brian says

NO DEAL

Noel says it's simple...more blues, less reds...Brian says it's easier in theory than in practise!

19 - £50 Barry

5 - £10 Arnold

This is easy, Noel says!

9 - £250 Ai-Linh

A lot of jazz hands now! Brian says it doesn't quite seem the same atmosphere without the cheering, and Noel says fine...the audience cheer a lot now!

Banker time



Brian says this is great fun! Noel says he has an amazing board...the banker rings and says that the all-blue round changed a lot...he tells Brian that now, it's the test, the bit he's been waiting for all game...

Banker offers

£20,000

Noel says that it's a huge leap from £8,800...Brian says he can't believe it, he thought it'd be nearer £15,000...he asks Lucy, who says that £20,000 will help them so much....Brian asks for some advice....Nikki says that she would go for it, but no one will think anything bad if he doesn't...Stanley reminds Brian how gutted Ashleyne was at dealing too early yesterday...Brian thanks them both and asks Noel for the question...

Brian says

NO DEAL

Next round...

17 - £1,000 Ally

18 - £75,000 Vicki

Big groans...Noel says we didn't want to see that at all, he calls a break...

Welcome back to Brian's game!
Noel says we want a blue, or a low red, and we are still in an amazing position....Brian says he hates to put the pressure on the newbie, but it's Box 1 next...Louise wishes him the best of luck!

1 - £35,000 Louise

Banker time



Brian says it's okay...Noel wonders if the banker will really test Brian and offer £20,000 again...Brian says that'd be nice...the banker thinks that he doesn't need to offer that high to get Brian out now!

Banker offers

£12,000

Brian says he didn't think he'd drop that much off the offer! Hannah says he's trying to make Brian feel bad for turning down £20,000, so if he has a good round, he can offer it again and get him out...Brian says this game is so hard as it messes with your head, especially the banker! Brian says at first, it seemed like, an instant no deal, but then he realized that it's £12,000...real money...

Brian says

NO DEAL

Noel says whatever he does, Brian cannot find the £250,000 this round! Brian tells Noel not to hurt him if he does, and Noel says he thinks Lucy will do it for him!

15 - £50,000 Hannah ):

Three in a row, Noel says...such good luck has turned to very bad luck indeed...

6 - £5,000 Sebastian

Claps...Noel says it's a long time since we've seen a blue in this game!

13 - £5 Millie

Huge cheers...banker time



Noel says we've done it, for now...the banker rings and says that he knows that now, Brian desperately wants to deal, which is why he's going to make it hard for him!

Banker offers

£15,000

Mixed reactions, but mostly, people are disappointed with that...Brian says he remembers Harrison got £21,000 with no back ups a couple of weeks ago...Noel says Harrison proved his bravery, and Brian says he thinks he did when he turned down £20,000! Brian says it's so hard, and admits he hoped he'd get a nice offer so he could deal and take a good sum home to his wife...he says £15,000 is pushing it a little bit...Noel asks if it'd make it easier if Lucy came down, and she does...she tells Brian that £15,000 is a lot of money to them, but so is £250,000...Brian says £250,000 is more than a lot of money...Lucy asks if the banker can just increase it to £20,000! The banker rings and wants to talk to Lucy...the phone call ends and Lucy says the banker told her that Brian is going to deal, so there's no point...Brian quickly asks for the question

Brian says

NO DEAL

Noel says that he could see how hard that was for him, and he hopes it pays off now....

3 - £1 Kay

The perfect start! Brian gives Kay a kiss and the audience cheer...Lucy sits at the pound table looking nervous...

20 - £750 Jon

The audience can't believe it, and neither can Brian! Noel says he's one box away from an amazing offer...the banker rings and says that he can't wait to now see the £250,000....

12 - £250,000 David

Silence...Brian says it's all right...Lucy looks slightly gutted but Noel tells them they could still get that £20,000!

Banker time with £3,000 and £20,000 remaining



The banker rings and says that all along he knew Brian would turn down the £15,000 and he knew the £250,000 would be found...he says he's been taken down by the banker! Brian says it won't seem that way when he wins that £20,000

Banker offers

£7,000

Brian laughs and says he's confirmed £3,000 now....

Brian says

NO DEAL

Noel says he really hopes Brian will get that £20,000 now...

Noel opens Box 10 and reveals £20,000

Brian cheers and says this feels much better than if he'd dealt at the third offer for the same amount! Noel says it's been a weird game as despite all the disappointment we've seemed to have had, Brian has got the most money out of his game! Brian says he was one box away from an amazing offer, and he says he'll always regret not choosing Stanley who as we know has £3,000...

Stanley now opens Box 16 and reveals £3,000

Noel tells Brian not to regret, as he's won, and he can now take home £20,000! Brian thanks Noel for a wonderful experience, and says it's an amazing sum of money...

152 Brian - £20,000 - £20,000 - £20,000 - £5,100

A third offer deal at £20,000 would have been the same result but without the atmosphere! So well done!

Decent game!! WELL DONE!!

Decent game!! WELL DONE!!

I just knew that box 12 would have the biggie
