Debbie's game today.

Sorry about no intro, but I am sure the show was advertised to start at 4:30 today

Debbie has box 1 today.

Debbie is a hairdresser from Wales, although she says she wanted to be a nurse initally. She has her husband Dave in the audience for support today. We get to see a photo of Debbie and Dave when they first met, and another of her two daughters.


Here we go....

You're quite right. The Radio Times website, which is normally bang up-to-date, has it down as 4:30!

Even the Channel 4 website has it down as 4:30.

You're not alone Kestral - my TV guide has today's show down as being on at 4:30 as well.

Last-minute schedule change perhaps?

Round 1

Debbie has no system today.

9 - £1,000 Stephen

6 - £15,000 Archie

7 - £250 Sam

3 - 10p Tom

Noel says that Debbie needs a lightsabre to point to the boxes, and then the graphics dept add in a lightsabre for Debbie

16 - 1p Jefferson

Banker time

Wow, that's some 1p celebration...

The Banker says it is a strong board, and also a strong woman, and he was hoping for a relaxing Sunday

Banker's offer:

£11,500

Debbie says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break.

At least it wasn't just me then! I checked the C4 website this morning to confirm the time, and also double checked with the EPG on the TV!

Luckily I just happened to turn the TV on and then was really confused to see Noel wondering down the wings talking to some contestants! I first thought it was a repeat or something

There goes the £50...

We're back

Round 2

Debbie picks Andy with box 10, but Noel says that he was death on Friday, so Debbie changes her mind.

20 - £50 Andre

21 - £1 Alex

2 - £5 Chris

Banker time

Mmm... no disrespect to Debbie, but I get the impression that she's trying just a little too hard for energy here.

All the same, here's hoping she has a much better game than her South Wales compatriot did on Friday...

They were showing re-runs of a Jamie Oliver programme earlier in the afternoon, and there was due to be another one at 4 - 4:30. It looks like they cancelled it for some reason. I don't know what they'll show at 5 - 5:30 now, as there'll be a gap.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I were Debbie, as no doubt lots of people will miss the first 30 mins of her show.

Noel says he was terrified at the start that Debbie would have a horrible game after waiting for so long on the wings, but she has a great board at the moment.

Banker's offer:

£14,000

Noel asks what Debbie would do with that money, and Debbie says she is here to support her girls through university.

Debbie says

NO DEAL

He goes up by just £2.5k after a £56 round??!?!?

More padding out...

On this occasion 13 is unlucky...

Round 3

Noel asks Debbie about the recession and if it is affecting her business, and Debbie says things are a lot harder now. The Banker calls and asks Debbie a question that he thinks the nation would like answered. He asks Debbie what she would do with Noel's hair, and she says she wouldn't do anything as his hair is perfect.

13 - £250,000 Becky

Debbie asks for lots of energy. Newbie Jack next and Noel says his nickname is magnet as his wife says that whenever he gets near to a chair he sits on it.

14 - £20,000 Newbie Jack

Noel calls a break....
