Nice to see them recycle the Golden Balls with a new look

Christopher says

NO DEAL

Round 6 (part 1)

13 - Bryan - £250

Banker time

Christopher says his mum would be telling him to get his coat and go! Karen says he still has 2 massive values on the board.

Christopher says

NO DEAL

Round 6 (part 2)

Christopher says he hates number 3.

22 - Jaron - £750

Banker time

A big gamble, but with one more box to open and just one blue, worth going on. Find the £50k he will probably stick.

Noel says we're about to find out if Christopher is an OHO or not. Christopher asks Bryan, who says he's in such a strong position, but will have to turn down big offers to get big money, and he says he'd no deal.

Christopher says

NO DEAL

Round 6 (part 3)

Noel says this is one of the most important boxes for months.

21 - Jess - £50

Banker time with £50,000 and £100,000 remaining

Yes, now hopefully after months and months of waiting, we finally at long, long last have another £100k winner.

Go Christopher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noel says Christopher really deserved that. The banker talks about the pigeon, and he says he normally dislikes omens, but he thinks there's something going on here!

Banker's offer:

£70,000

Christopher says he was very close to saying "deal" before. Noel says this is a huge decision to make, but Christopher can win at least £50,000. Christopher says he'd still be happy winning £50,000.

Christopher says

NO DEAL

Noel says that's one of the biggest "no deals" ever.

Christopher wins £100,000 from his box 14.

Finally, after months and months of waiting! Another £100k winner!

Christopher starts crying and says thank you very much!

Box 3 with Ann contains the £50,000

Noel says Christopher has won a week for 2 in Portugal.

looks like gambling paid off today.

As if an opening round that tears apart the middle of the board wasn't dramatic enough, we get a pigeon intervention. Fantastic Banker joke, and the 17-box offer, in a twist week, is practically dealable. Which is even more astonishing than the pigeon.

And after a £6.50 second round, the Banker has no choice but to give Christopher a genuine decision, a full three rounds before the ADP. Oops. There we go, distraction through making it a comedy offer.

Crikey, the Banker is actually trying to buy the box today. However, the top four will lure him on. Expect an eight-box joke.

Well we certainly won't avoid one now. Especially when Noel tells Christopher explicitly to "think about 5-box". Excellent comedy at the eight-box offer, though, and it's not even that bad an offer, suggesting the producer is confident that Christopher will gamble anyway. Which he does... the round goes to plan with precisely one of the big three going, the twist goes his way, and one-to-open probably just about tips the balance (I'd be gone with three to open).

First box works out, offer goes the other side of twenty grand, it's the same as yesterday with upscaled values, I think that'd do me. Christopher plays on, entirely valid also... and what about that!

With a five-figure offer guaranteed barring idiotic Banker play, I'd play on here if anything, and I think he will, too. Mark suggests that the blue/£100k finish would trigger a stick, which is more plausible than it ought to be, and might well be the difference-maker. Christopher goes on too... WAHEY!

Talk about one-to-open making the difference there - it was so much easier to play on with two big amounts and one box to open, and now he's only gone and kept them both! Christopher admits he very nearly stopped, and normally I'd be the party pooper here, but there are no regrets now, only joy.

The first six-figure win through legitimate play to have been recorded since the economy officially entered recession, I believe...!

THAT is what the show needed big time

Well done Christopher and enjoy the 100k

Now can someone go all the way in this season and make it even better by scooping the biggest prize

I have a hope someone will, just a question of when
