Jonathan's game today.

Noel wonders why the players bring friends and family with them, as it often complicates things! He then talks about Karen's game yesterday, and how she brought several relatives and she got lots of conflicting advice which added another burden to the game.

Jonathan has box 3.

Jonathan is an electrician, and he explains he got into that after watching some builders on a building site. He shows a pic of all of his family, and a pic of his dog called Harvey! Jonathan has his fiancée Laura in the audience, and she explains she met Jonathan as she was once with one of his friends! He reveals he once bet a lot on a horse and it came in 2nd.

Here we go...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel goes over to a bald man in the audience, and says Jonathan rewired his bedroom lamp and it shocked him and made him bald.

21 - Kim - £50

Banker time

The banker says it looked like Damian had got bitten by a crab when he did his dance. Noel talks about how Jonathan would like the banker to watch him withdrawing his £250,000.

Banker's offer:

£12,000

Jonathan says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Noel says Jonathan once turned up to the wrong house and did £1,000 worth of work!

6 - Kirsty - £3,000

16 - Millie - 50p

9 - Maryanne - £750

Banker time

The banker says that round was rather good.

Banker's offer:

£20,000

Jonathan says that's a fantastic offer, and Noel says it'd get a good wedding. Jonathan says this is a difficult offer, and he asks the others for some advice, who say £20,000 would pay for the wedding and so on, but he still has good numbers on the board.

The banker phones back and says Jonathan has an almost 30% chance of taking out the quarter-million in the next 3 boxes.

Jonathan says

NO DEAL

Round 4

13 - Aimee - £250

20 - Hitch - £1,000

10 - Olympia - Noel calls a break and says we're nearly at the 5th birthday and wouldn't it be great if Jonathan won the £250,000...

That was a kiss of death if there ever was one... and there usually is with Noel.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel says Jonathan is very particular about things, including where his remote control is and how his shoes are arranged!

10 - Olympia - £15,000

Banker time

Jonathan says he came here with nothing and anything would be a bonus, and he says the banker will have to offer him a humongous amount of money to get him to deal!

Banker's offer:

£26,000

Noel then says it's actually worth...

Banker's offer:

£27,000

Then...

Banker's offer:

£28,000

Then...

Banker's offer:

£30,000

Jonathan asks for a sweep, and just over half of the others say "no deal". He says he's seen how a game can be blown apart by the loss of the £250,000. He says the offer wouldn't be life-changing but it's a fantastic sum of money. He says he doesn't know what to do, and John says he should go for it if he believes he has the £250,000 in his box.

Jonathan says

DEAL

Round 5 (proveout)

1 - Ann - £5,000

The banker phones and says if Jonathan doesn't take anything higher than £5,000 now, the next offer would've been at least double £30,000.

19 - newbie Annie - 1p

12 - Savy - £500

Banker time

The banker says that was practically perfect for him.

Banker's offer would've been:

£62,500
