Mark's game today.

Well we have certainly had a lively start to the new season, what will today hold in store?

Noel is back to long sleeves today and mentions Sharron's 1p win yesterday and says that the 1p club have now moved from the phonebox to a caravan to accommodate the now 8 members.

Mark has box 15 today and is greeted by a very lively audience as he takes the walk of wealth.

We learn Mark is a police dog handler who does believe in fate and destiny and he tells his story of how he met his wife who is in the audience today offering support.

Here we go.....

Round 1

7 - 50p Big cheers and applause - this could be a loud game

19 - £100,000 'ouch'

Noel interrupts to ask if Mark has a system, he doesn't - Noel suggests perhaps he should have brought along his police dog to sniff out the boxes

16 - £5,000

11 - £75,000 Groans and 'ooohhs'

1 - £750 Cheers and applause

It's banker time....

Banker tells Noel to say 'Ello Ello Ello what's all this then' he also says
he should have been a detective as he is used to following leads
Banker offers

£4,452

That number used to be the policemans number on Trumpton

I never thought Trumpton would be mentioned on Deal or no Deal

Mark says

NO DEAL

Next round

14 - £500

12 - £100 greeted with cheers and applause

Mark chooses box 8, but hesitates and Noel asks why - Mark says it because of the Job that Ashley does which we find out is also in the police force.

Noel says that we should arrest the proceedings and take a break

Ooh, Emi's looking nice today...

I'm annoyed that they've missed another trick, though - they could have held Mark P back one day and used him to replace the Mark that's playing! The same thing happened in Mark W's game, when this Mark was the new player...so he's been "Mark A" on his first game and his last game, but just "Mark" in all the others.

I've said "Mark" too many times.

When Mark W was playing, Mark A was the newbie, and now when Mark A is playing newbie Mark is in Mark W's spot! Wierd!

Couldn't resist

We're back

Last box before the banker and Mark sticks with 8

8 - £50,000 'oooohs'

Total silence in the studio....

Banker time

YAY

I still remember being up in the morning watching trumpton

Banker offers

£999

Then Noel says that it has an 8 in front

so it's £8,999 which does surprise Mark

Mark says

NO DEAL

Next round

Mark is stuck between 2 boxes

17 - £1,000

20 - £10,000 Silence until Mark says he can cope with it, then applause

3- £10

Banker time

Noel makes a joke about Dixon of dock green and then a joke about a cat stuck in a tree and sending out Special branch!!! Mark says he's 'Twigged'

Banker says he's unsure who is ahead at the moment and doesn't give an offer.

Noel goes to Nev who agrees, the banker phones back and offers

£13,000

I done it again, i think i have missed the begining of every show this week, turning over now

Noel asks Mark's wife what she thinks, she says it's a nice amount of money at the end of the day, but it's Mark's game......

Mark calls his wife down for a little discussion, he says he thinks there is one more deal there, she says it's a big amount and if he goes on he's got to be prepared to go to the end if the £250,000 goes next round.

Mark is convinced there is one more deal in the game and says

NO DEAL

Next round

10 - £3,000 Applause and a few 'whoops'

2 - £1 Mark shouts 'Come on'

21 - 1p the studio love that as does Mark

Banker time.....

Mark says he needs the toilet after that round......

The banker is really taking his time over calling now, in fact so much time that Noel calls a break.....
