Been looking forward to this game for ages. Could be a classic.

Break time.

Board at the first break.

She doesn't seem the gambling type but then she's so eccentric, I wouldn't be surprised by anything she does today.

We're back...

Noel tells us he can't get a word in edgeways. Vera wants to see the confetti. One of Vera's dream is to have her own goat.

She tells us how she went to the Isle Of Wight to see a lonely goat called Basil. The Banker rings up to show us a picture of Vera and the goat as proof.

Vera's daughter speaks up and tells her not to get carried away, The Banker then rings up and says he's loved every minute of this show so far, but on this mother's day he loved when Vera said "oh god, I forgot she [daughter] was here.

NO DEAL.

ROUND 4

Box 20 - Dave - £5,000

Box 17 - Abiola - 1p

Banker time.

The Banker now knows why Vera has a frilly bit on her flag and only the observant will notice why...

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Great player but the game hasn't really got going. Not an offer worth thinking about yet.
