He had the £500, but shock horror, box 1 was picked and it had the £5,000 in.

Mark sounds Liverpudlian to me, and its a shame there isn't anymore of him shown.

Whatever gave that away? The incredibly thick Scouse accent?

Yes, and I'm too used to hearing it, it's annoying.

As someone with a Scouse accent himself, I don't care for that remark :!:

All my family except me have it so I should know how annoying it is. It sounds like you're about to spit all the time!

Try living in Wales. Real hardcore Welsh speakers sound like they have half a pint of phlegm in the back of their throats....

Mark's accent is a very strong variant of the Scouse accent, though - not many Liverpudlians speak with that strong a twang.

"A bit of a Welsh accent" is fine - i.e. Rich today. Real hardcore Welsh speakers, who actually speak the language Welsh, have such a gutteral intonation that it sounds like they're trying to retch something up from their lower intestine. It's not the most romantic of accents.

True, mine's only slight because it's a mix between Scottish and Welsh. Kind of a mix between Smiler's and Rich's accents. Although my mother is Welsh and my father is Scottish, they've got strong Scouse accents now, but I'm stuck with the weird accent.

Rich didn't really have an accent though. You could hear the Welsh-ness on certain words. Smiler had an unmistakeable Scottish accent, however, so if you're mixed between them, I'd guess that you sounded more Scottish than Welsh. Poor *beep*.

Yes, all my friends say I sound Scottish, and most of them think I'm Scottish!

Your first name has Scottish origins too, unless I'm mistaken.

You're not mistaken. It is Scottish, but I'm named after my gread-grandfather. Strictly speaking, I'm not English since I'm half Welsh and half Scottish, but I like to think I'm English, and not Scottish like my friends think I am.

I was there in the audience for this one, so a couple of comments on the editing.

1. That moment where Noel ran to the phone wasn't really shown as it happened. Noel had said his playing it cool thing, and when the phone started ringing, wandered around the wings for a bit, just letting it ring, before dashing over.

2. They did a sweep at the £10k offer, and everyone said No Deal, apart from June (actually this may have been shown, I didnt catch the start)

3. On the 8,500 offer, Peter's advice to deal was shown. However, a sweep was done here, and in the sweep he said No Deal :S.

4. Mark gave Rich lots of advice during the game (more than any other player), but all of this ended up on the cutting room floor.

5. (and this is the most important one)

That dashing fellow that opened box 3 in the viewers competition was yours truly

.

well well you look like a nice boy!thanks for the inside info,really interesting as l'm a dond freak. :lol:

That was an interesting game, even without the emotions in play, and though the £20,000 deal was a marginal decision, I think Rich gave the banker a run for his money.

He kept a poker face on for most of the game, along with the other 21 shows, so the banker had no idea what to make of him for certain.

The only 'mistake' he made was to tell the banker what he thought the offer would be, which changed what the banker offered. Had he said nothing, he might have won a couple of thousand pounds more.

His partner helped him make a sensible deal, for richer or for poorer, and he didn't end up going from riches to rags.

I've actually tried to learn Welsh but it sounds like such a difficult language if you're not a native speaker. Hence why it sounds so peculiar to those of us who can only speak English, French, German and Italian....

its quite similar to french, certain words are very similar. Fair play to you for attempting to learn it though. Not many people moving here take the time to bother.
