Beryl's game today.

Noel says January was the wettest month since records began, in terms of tears from the contestants! Noel says they're on their 7th box of tissues since the New Year started and the banker can't afford any more, so he wants the contestants to keep their emotions in check! Noel says Georgina yesterday was the moistest player.

Beryl has box 11.

Beryl is from Coventry and is a retired dinner lady and she says she got a 50p pension when she retired! Beryl says the cook in her kitchen was brilliant and she talks about rationing ravioli. We get to see a pic of a 53-year-old soft-toy snowman called Mr Snowman, and a pic of Beryl's family at her diamond wedding anniversary. Her husband is in the audience today, and she shows a photo of him with his onions.

Here we go...

Round 1

Beryl has no system. She says she wants to live to 2012 for the Olympics, and then she's on borrowed time.

19 - Charlotte - £50,000

IJ now, and Noel has a chat with her about the Olympics, and she says she'd participate in the shopping event.

8 - IJ - £75,000

2 - Vicki - 50p

5 - Dolly - £250,000

"OH WHAT!" says Noel.

1 - Ron - £500

Banker time

The banker says he'd never ration his ravioli for Beryl.

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Noel talks to Beryl about how she once climbed up a tree when she was 80 and then she fell out!

Noel calls a break...

Oh dear! That must be the worst opening round this year.

We're back

The banker phones up and asks if Noel is hoping to live to 2012 himself, as he's not playing by the rules as he forgot to ask the question!

Beryl says

NO DEAL

Round 2

Beryl says she wants money to get a walk-in bathroom, and Noel questions her further and finds she wants a walk-in shower! Noel narrows it down to a wet room, and she says it'll cost £24,000 - £26,000 as it'll be gold-plated.

Big Al now, and we find out that he's a dairy farmer from Wales, and Noel asks him about his cows' milk output.

22 - Big Al - £1

9 - Leanne - £50

6 - Peter - £35,000

Banker time

she reminds me of my dotty aunt who is a bit forgetfull. Are we on for another deal around the 10k mark? With that board I don't think she will be bold enough to go too far...

Noel and the banker talk about Leanne's hair, and they then talk about the details of the wet-room that Beryl wants!

Banker's offer:

£2,000

Beryl says that's not enough.

NO DEAL

Round 3

Tomas now and he talks about an old cartoon character called Beryl the Peril.

10 - Tomas - £100

13 - Patricia - £15,000

Noel says it's one of those games where you get stabbed after a good box.

Noel calls a break.

Right, I just want to get one thing off my chest and that is, QUIT THE IDLE CHIT-CHAT!!

Anyway, rant over. I hope Beryl can get some good money out of this game. There hasn't even been a five figure offer yet.
I know she's had the 1p three times. I hope she doesn't make it a fourth.

Her (justifiable) reaction after revealing the 15k won't do her any favours - she should be talking up the 100k and reminding everyone of Dale who won that amount. The offers will remain in the low thousands as I'm certain the producers will fear an offer in the 'Sherilyn territory' will get a deal.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Beryl puts her foot in it as she gossips about the weeds in her neighbour's garden.

Newbie Carol now, and Noel reveals that she loves reptiles.

3 - Carol - 10p

Banker time

The banker says he liked a comment Beryl's husband made about how she had broken the game.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Noel says the offers aren't going to suddenly rise with that board so it's going to be a hard task. Ade says he thinks Beryl's luck will turn soon.

Beryl says

NO DEAL

Round 4

16 - Darrel - £10

4 - Amy - £20,000

17 - Karl - £100,000

Banker time

The banker says Beryl might have to scale her wet-room down

Banker's offer:

£700

Stu says everyone's with Beryl.

Beryl says

NO DEAL
