Simon's game today.

Noel welcomes us to another day in the Dream Factory and says we are on the verge of history as one of the power 5 hasn't been to the pound table for such a long time...

Yeah I think a nice power 5 win would do nicely now...

Simon has box 9 today. Dimple boy says Noel, and reveals it's his nickname, and Noel notices that his partner in the audience also has dimples... Simon used to be a barman and is now in the police... Simon tells Noel about his dad, who is a mechanic, and Noel asks if he is a real mechanic with overalls and everything, and Simon tells him he is

We get to see a few pics of Simon's friends, and he also tells Noel that he has a degree in criminology, which is one of the reasons he is in the police.


Here we go...

I'm lovin those reds says Simon, and WOW says Noel... The banker says he likes the look of this, and says hello Dimple Boy you are cute He would love to ruffle Simon's hair He says if Simon put a cowboy hat on he would look like Woody from Toy Story

The banker tells Simon he will be his nemisis Buzz Lightyear

Simon's partner tells Noel that she has her cowboy boots on, so the Woody quote fits

Simon says

NO DEAL

Awww poor Justin.. his games will be fun...

Next round

Newbie Justin next, and Noel says he looks a bit tense, so he gets the pilgrims to welcome him, and then asks everyone to stand up who thinks he is tense! Nearly everyone stands, and Justin says that's OK as that is the look he was going for

11 - £20,000 Ben

You're doing it again says Noel

The phone rings!!! The banker says it's time for a break and he thinks Justin should throw to the break!!

Justin does the break link...

Hah Justins great! He did look reallllly nervous...

Talk about camera right up to Justin's face!!

At the first break, we have only one five-figure amount left! Is that a first?

We're back
Last box before the banker...

Noel tells us that Simon's game is going to be the most extraordinary game of 2008 as he will keep the top 3 until the end now...

Adie next and he tells Noel that he feels fruity today

18 - £100 Adie

Banker time

Rachel 'Woodsy' Woods is looking hot again today

Simon tells Noel we need another one now, and Noel turns to his partner and says are you going to tell him... Noel then says a policeman who can't count to 3, how can he say Ello Ello Ello if he can't count to 3

Noel tells Simon that all of the banker's offers are now going to hang in that big gap in the reds, and that will make it really difficult from now on....


Banker offers

£11,000

That is a lot of money says Simon... Adie tells him there are still a lot of boxes up there, and he can get a much bigger offer...
