Peter's game today.

Noel says he is going to give us some talent now, and wonders over to the wings, and says that Olivia had a first at the national skating championships, and Fran is a talented singer, also Stephen can belch the alphabet! He gives us a quick demo!!

I think Noel likes Stephen...

Anyway, no surprise that Peter's playing today - it being his 27th show.

Well his past 9 games have been all red amounts, so a blue is due, hopefully not today.

Can't believe Peter was Dale's replacement. His game seems so long ago now.

Peter has box 17 today.

Peter is a Royal mail delivery driver. Peter says he always smiles, and thinks that it gets him into a lot of trouble as his bosses always wonder why he is smiling and tell him to get on with his job! Peter has his wife in the audience and she tells us how they first met, and he was reluctant to ask her out as he thought she was miserable!

Noel shows us a picture of Peter with his medal for the Great North Run, where he ran the whole race with torn ligaments! Peter shows another picture of his garden which he loves, and also a photo of his family.

Peter says he has favourite numbers, and he already knows what his 5-box is going to be. Peter asks Noel to remind him if he tries to take out any of the numbers he wants to save.

Here we go....

Round 1

Peter picks box 16 first, and all the pilgrims shout out that is one of his favourite numbers!

14 - £50 Franca

4 - £100 Archie

12 - £5,000 Ellen

3 - £3,000 Fran

10 - £15,000 Debbie

Banker time

Not a bad opening round - the Banker does say that taking out the low reds early on is good...

The Banker says he has been dreading this game, as he sees this as a gun fight with the way Peter pulled off all his seals while on the wings! The Banker then shows a montage of Peter pulling off the seals.

Banker's offer:

£15,000

£15k??!?!?!?!??!

That's the highest opening offer in yanks... er, I mean, yonks!

Rubbish. Tell that to players who have one big amount and loads of blues at the end.

£15k - wow.

Peter says that is a hell of a lot of money, but he knows his family have told him to have a good time and have a bit of a flutter.

Peter says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Crikey, that's almost dealable. He is clearly playing the strategy of inducing a chase-the-money attitude if the game goes slightly pearshaped later on.

wow! thats the biggest opening offer I can remember in a lot of games(wheres that statto!) Especially considering he had culled some fallback reds. No justification other than his card has been marked as gambler! My crystal ball says this game will go right to the bitter end..

Well, then, tell the Banker that what he says is rubbish!

£15,000?!
I got to say, I was NEVER expecting the OPENING offer to be THAT HIGH!

And Clint East Wing =

We're back

Noel says that Peter has been one of the most demanding contestants ever, and Peter has asked for hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows in it. Peter then makes up his hot chocolate drink.

Round 2

2 - £10 Nick

The Banker has had an idea after seeing Nicks tag fling, he will now put on a gunslinger sound effect!

5 - £500 Paul

That looks great says Noel. Peter then asks if Noel would push a couple of marshmallows in his mouth and do a Marlon Brando impression

13 - £20,000 Alex

Banker time

Two blues and £20k... the Banker should go up... shouldn't he?

That is an incredibly balanced board says Noel. The Banker says that is the first time he has wanted to buy the box and the drink!

Banker's offer:

£20,000

So the pilgrims aren't allowed to snack during filming but the contestants are.... double standards at work.
