Ian's game today.


Noel knows we all love watching and talking about the show, and how the last few games have certainly given us something to chat about, where both Alice and Colin played very similar games but got totally different outcomes.

Ian has box 22 today and takes the walk of wealth to the theme tune of the Sweeny! Ian is a police officer from Wigan and works in a plain clothes division. Noel has 3 sections on Ian's file and they are Gamble, clumsy, dreams! Apparently Ian is very clumsy at work and tells a tale of how they recovered a 40" plasma TV and told the owner they had found it, but then Ian broke it before the owner could pick it up!!

We get to see a picture of Ian's son, and another of his partner and son... Ian gets quite emotional chatting about them, and he describes how he would like a dream wedding abroad in Greece.

Noel reads Ian his rights for the housekeeping!


Here we go...

Where are the green boxes for St Patrick's Day

Round 1

Ian has a system based around Liverpool football club.

9 - £100,000 Cheri

Oh dear goes Noel...

16 - £50,000 Lisa

Noel asks Ian if Liverpool won this game Ian is using his system from!

6 - £3,000 Stephen

Noel tells Ian to cheer up!!

11 - 10p Gra

8 - £1 Dirk

Banker time

The five squad numbers that took the penalties in Liverpool's incredible Champions League victory in 2005...not bad!

That had all the pain of a penalty shootout says Noel... The Banker does a football chant of 1p 1p!! He tells Ian he is in trouble now, and then says that he saw Dirk and David have a whale of time last night and David made Dirk laugh so much that something happened David tells everyone that Dirk's teeth fell out


Banker's offer:

£4,999

Ian turns to his mate Barry in the audience, and Noel asks if they have radios on them to communicate today!

Ian says

NO DEAL

Oh dear, not a good start at all...

Ian doesn't look completely motivated either! Here's hoping this break helps him!

Round 2

Ian is going to leave newbie Will until the end as 14 is his sons birthday.

Noel then has a pop at Anna who is next about the buses she drives and asks her all the information she knows about the buses she drives.

14 - £250,000 Anna

This is going to be a tough one says Noel

10 - £750 Margaret


Noel tells us to all move along as there is nothing to see He then calls a break...

Not going well

I am sure there were two players cards on the pound table as Noel was introducing the show

We're back
Last box before the Banker
Noel has given Ian a bit of talking to in the break...

5 - £50 Chris


Banker time

The Banker talks about the other policeman we now have on the wings, who is the newbie Will. He then says that yesterday they had 1 copper and today there are 2 coppers!

Banker's offer:

£4,999

Ian says

NO DEAL

Just tuned in and this is not good, already it's looking disastrous!

Round 3

Derrick next and he promises to do his best with both his box opening and it's contents.

21 - £5,000 Derrick

4 - £75,000 Jason

Wow, now we do have a mountain to climb says Noel...

7 - £15,000 Kieron

Banker time

This game is really hard to get into...

...and seeing the £75,000 go during an all-red round definitely isn't helping...

Another heartbreaker says Noel... The Banker says that Kieron has been complaining again as he had fish and chips and they put the fish on the wrong side of the plate, and also gave his tartar sauce which he doesn't like! Noel agrees that the food standards should be raised for all the contestants as he likes to look after them...


Banker's offer:

£999

Ian says

NO DEAL

Round 4

This has to be an all blue round says Noel, and thinks a policeman should be able to do the blues...

3 - £250 Steve

2 - £5 Rachael


Box 15 with Carol next, but Noel calls a break first...

I can only see an 8-box deal or a trainwreck looking at the time, probably the latter.
