Betty's game today.

Noel says we are still in the Christmas frame of mind in the Winter wonderland, but something is niggling him a little about the Christmas tree as the Banker won't reveal what the holiday was on Christmas day and he is really angry about that!

Noel explains the Scrooge or Santa twist that takes place at the 5-box stage. There are 3 snowmen and 2 of them have a Santa and 1 has a Scrooge, find the Santa and the contestant gets an offer after every box in the final round, but find the Scrooge and the Banker gets to look inside the contestant's box and the final round continues in the usual 3 box style. There is also a Christmas tree where the contestant gets to the chance to win a holiday.

Betty has box 21 today.

Noel says he is a little frightened of Betty, and she says quite a few people are Betty has her husband in the audience for support, and he is described as a long suffering husband, and Betty says that she thinks all men liked to be bossed around a little. We get to see Betty's family picture, and she also has a bank book with a shilling in from when she was little girl. She also has a penny that is 100 years old, and she is going to give it to whoever has the 1p today for luck

Given I was in the audience for this game, I completely forgot that Noel mentioned the Christmas Day win.

she might yet get to keep that old 1p
