Archie's game today.

Noel talks about how powerful the show is and that people wait years just to get into the crazy chair, and practice everything for their moment in the chair. Some even go out and buy a new wardrobe, though that is mostly the ladies, but today there is one male who has made an extra effort and he stands next to Jefferson who is dressed up in a costume, but then Noel goes over to Andre and compliments him on his suit

Archie has box 9 today.

Noel says that Archie is very sprightly for 77, he is a retired rail worker from Kent. Archie is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, and came over her in 1958. Archie says he does a lot of walking in his spare time and tries to do a mile a day, and also does the bull-worker once a week. We get to see a photo of Archie when he was in Trinidad when he was in his 20's, and another of him with his niece. He would like to win enough for more visits to Trinidad as he hasn't been back for over 4 years as the cost is so high now.

Here we go...

Round 1

7 - £75,000 Chris

Archie starts laughing and Noel tells him that isn't the amount he has just won!

12 - £100 Jack

21 - £5 Stephen

17 - £250,000 Charlotte

4 - £1 Andy

Banker time

Noel welcomes the Banker to Archie's game, and the Banker thinks he will be out of his depth today.

Banker's offer:

£2,318

Noel asks if Archie knows why the offer is that, and Archie says that it is because he knocked out the top amount. Noel says yes, but also what does the 318 mean, and eventually Archie figures out that it was his room number at the hotel

Archie says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Round 2

5 - £3,000 Will

3 - £50,000 Tom

19 - £15,000 Aisha

Banker time

That was a rotten round says Noel. Noel tells the Banker this is one of the perfect examples of how cruel this game can be, as we have a popular player who is having rotten luck

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Archie says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Noel says that Archie is one of the great romantics, as instead of going down on one knee and proposing to his wife, he just turned to her and said he thought it was time that they was married now.

1 - £1,000 Sam

Noel asks if there is another system that Archie can use as his current one is rubbish!

13 - 10p Crystal

That's better says Noel.

2 - £750 Alex

Banker time

Jefferson's got to have been thinking this was his show today.

Noel asks Archie what he would spend any winnings on, and he says he would love to take his wife on a Mediterranean cruise, and also put a deposit down on a new flat.

The Banker calls and says he needs to have a think about his offer, so Noel calls a break...

What on earth is Jefferson wearing?!

Were back

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Archie says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Archie says that he had a dream he would win £150,000, and Noel asks him if he thinks he can still do that! Archie says it would be a hard one to win that now.

11 - £500 Jefferson

Archie is going to keep box 6 as that is his wife's birthday.

8 - £10 Vera

15 - £20,000 Becky

Banker time

Noel says that the top left of the board is the problem at the moment. The Banker says that hitting the £20,000 in that round makes the possibility of getting £150,000 even harder now.

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Archie says

NO DEAL

Round 5

Archie asks Alex for some advice, and Alex says that it is a little late for that now as he has said 'No Deal'

10 - £10,000 Newbie Paul

16 - £100,000 Rachel

Noel calls a break...

It's enjoyable shows like these that really take advantage of the new 1-hour time slot.

I hope Archie is able to win a good amount from the game.
