Jack's game today.

Noel talks about the rollercoaster games there have been recently, and says there's been a lack of OHOs recently, although Paul was one and it paid off. He said if Becky had been an OHO yesterday, she'd have won £15,000, and he wants an OHO today.

Jack has box 7.

Jack says he still can't believe he's there! Jack is a community caretaker, and he shows a photo of his son when he was a baby, and tells a story of how he is named after their local vicar. He says he's currently in hospital and he talks about Anthony who passed away recently. He says he'd like some money to help his son and his family.

Here we go...

Round 1

Jack asks the audience to be his family today.

1 - Dougie - £750

13 - Al - 50p

6 - Gordon - £15,000

8 - Andrea - £100

Noel says newbie Debs is into aero-engines and classic cars.

2 - newbie Debs - £75,000

Banker time

The banker says Jack is one of the most kind-hearted contestants ever, and it makes him sick!

Banker's offer:

£900

Jack says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Is he trying to do exactly what he did with Vera?

We're back

Round 2

Jim is still poorly and Shannon is opening Jim's box.

15 - Jim - £5,000

11 - Dave - £100,000

14 - Ziggy - £1

Banker time

Jack says that's a lot of money for him and would help him do a lot of things, but he says the board looks good.

Jack's about to answer and the banker phones back and gives him a warning that if he loses the £250,000, he'll make things very tough.

Jack says

NO DEAL

Round 3

21 - Abiola - £5

17 - Hugo - 10p

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel says Jack revealed during the break that he went on Swap Shop and met Noel, and Jack thought Hugo had also been on it, but he'd been on Tiswas.

3 - Sophie - £500

Banker time

Jack talks about what the money would do for him. He tells a story about how his arm once went dead when he was in the bath and he had problems getting out, and he cracked the bath while trying to get out, so he needs a new one!

Jack says

NO DEAL

So now the Banker's had a change of heart and decided to be more respectful in his offers - but, it seems, only as long as the £250k remains in play...

Round 4

5 - Anthony - £10,000

20 - Natalie - 1p

16 - Helen - £35,000

Banker time

Still a good board. Worth another round at least.

Wow, the Banker was quick to come up with that offer!

And it's not the worst offer for this board, which actually isn't all that strong - £250k, £50k, £20k and nothing else meaningful...

Jack talks again about what he could do with the money. Noel asks Gordon and he says he doesn't know what to do, but would be scared of going on even though he recognises the potential. He asks some others, who say they think Jack should deal. Noel reminds Jack about the banker's threat of punishing him if he loses the £250k.

The banker phones back and promises to offer £42,000 if Jack has an all-blue round, and Jack says that would be a dream. Gordon says it's only a 2% chance of having an all-blue round now. Noel asks how Jack would feel if he went to the end and won the various amounts on the board.

Jack says

NO DEAL
