Jimmy's game today.

Noel says it's the last show of the season and we're hoping for a good one after James tried for £75,000 yesterday but ended up with just a grand...



Jimmy has Box 21 today. Jimmy Kent is a 59-year old butcher from Manchester...Jimmy says he's been waiting for this for a long time and Noel says it's been 28 shows...Jimmy says he's had a great time and the experience has been amazing...Noel says that bit is usually said at the end of the game...Jimmy says he's a bit opposite with stuff like this, and Noel asks if he'd like to start the game by opening his box....we meet Jimmy's wife, Carole, who is in the audience...Jimmy shows us a picture of them with the whole family, and they have three children, the youngest now 29....Noel says Jimmy's been great with advice on the wings, and Jimmy says he's a gambler...Noel asks Carole who says he's a massive risk taker and Noel says this ought to be interesting....

Jimmy confirms he chose Box 21 at random before the show...

Here we go...

Where to start, Jimmy says, they all look so appealing!

10 - £15,000 Keely

9 - 1p Gavin

Gavin says he's always wanted to have 1p, Noel says it's like a child at Christmas!

18 - £35,000 Nesma

8 - £20,000 Grace

A big hole now, Noel says...

1 - £500 Tyler

Banker time



Jimmy says it's a gamblers board already and Noel says it seems like the board is matched with the player perfectly then...the banker rings up and says he thinks Jimmy may be all talk and no gamble...

Banker offers

£6,000

Jimmy says it's a fantastic offer, and Noel says for that board it's a phenomenal one!

Jimmy says

NO DEAL

Next round...

11 - £75,000 Ewan

Ohhh, Noel says...

14 - £1,000 Kenneth

This really is a gamblers board, Noel says...he asks us to come back after the break to see if Jimmy will make the gamble...

Welcome back
Last box before the banker

13 - £100,000 Greta

Banker time



The banker rings and says this has taken a turn for the worst...he says he loves it when bad boards happen to good gamblers...

Banker offers

£3,000

He's halved it, Noel says...Jimmy says he doesn't need to ask anyone

Jimmy says

NO DEAL

Next round...an all-blue round will suffice, Noel says...Jimmy tells him he'll try. Gareth next...Gareth wishes Jimmy the best of luck, but Noel says 'WHAT?'. He walks over and says Gareth is so tall he can't hear him...he gets Gareth to kneel down to open the box!

19 - £10,000 Gareth

You do love these reds, Noel says...

12 - £50,000 Katinka

Huge groans...Noel says this is a one box game, and incredible in that there are so many blues and so few reds....he says it's a huge gamblers board now...

7 - £50 Corinne

Banker time



The banker rings and just laughs down the phone...he says it's great, as the £250,000 is the last big amount remaining, he says it's saved until last so when he finds it next box, it'll be a huge crash...

Banker offers

£1,500

Jimmy laughs and asks for the question

Jimmy says

NO DEAL

Noel says we need three blues now...Jimmy says he'll do his very best...

15 - £1 Kenny

4 - £10 Charlie

Noel says we're close to an all-blue round...he calls a break and says we could be close to our first £250,000 win...

What a gap!

Welcome back
One more to go...another blue, Noel says...

17 - 50p Sarah

Banker time



Noel says it's looking much better...the phone rings and Noel talks to the banker quickly before handing it to Jimmy and saying it's for you...Jimmy talks for a while and the call ends...Jimmy says he told him that there's a fine line between gambling, and being stupid, and he says this offer would be stupid to decline...

Banker offers

£9,000

Jimmy claps the offer..he thinks about it for a while...he tells Noel that he's not a rich man, and so £9,000 is very good, especially with one amount higher....he checks with wife Carole who says he knows what she'd say....Jimmy says she's a dealer, and he obviously is not, so either way, one of them will be right, and one will be wrong, and with the £250,000 there, he thinks he may be right this time...

Jimmy says

NO DEAL

Next round....this is so important, we cannot hit the £250,000, Noel tells Jimmy

20 - £750 Ethel

16 - £250,000 Newbie Julian

Game over, Jimmy says...

3 - £3,000 Beatrice

Banker time



Jimmy says he's gutted and Noel says we all are as Jimmy could have won it...he says there's just not been the big money today....the banker rings and says you have to laugh...he says the offer if the £250,000 was still there would have been £31,000...

Banker offers

£310

Jimmy says he's going to win £5,000 now!

Jimmy says

NO DEAL

Oh dear, what a season finalé...

Well said...

Final round...it's an injustice if we can't get you £5,000 from this game, Noel says...

5 - £5 Ross

2 - £5,000 Laura

Huge groans...Noel says this is one of those awful awful games where the reds never stop coming...he says we have to finish it off now...

6 - 10p Stephen

Banker time with £100 and £250 remaining

The banker quickly rings and says we won't fuss about it...he says the offer is halved...what a way to end a series, he says!

Banker offers

£155

Jimmy says it's all the way to the end now!

Jimmy says

NO DEAL

Noel says we won't draw this out, it's £100 or £250...

Noel opens Box 21 and reveals £250

Roger opens Box 22 and shows us £100

Noel says it's not the way we would have liked to end the season at all, but Jimmy says he's glad he went for it...Noel says that after 75 shows, that's it for this series, but in a few weeks, the 21 players on the wings, plus many others will continue to make battle with the banker, and maybe, just maybe, we will find a £250,000 winner...

175 Jimmy - £250 - £250 - £9,000 - £155

Today's Question(s): What did you think of series one? How could it be improved? What was your favourite game, and what was your least favourite game?

Series one was great and it doesn't need improving. My favourite game was Show 50 and least favourite game was Show 1.

Robbie's and Scarlett's game were fantastic!
