Tanya's game today.

Noel wants to start this week in a confident way, and talks about Dougie's game where he was an OHO player who was going to play all the way as long as the £250,000 stayed in play, but unfortunately he had a total crash late in his game and he went away with £1.

Tanya has box 3 today.

Tanya is a waitress and student at Exeter university studying Business management. We see a picture of Tanya with her mum and dad, another of her with her fiance, and another of one of her brothers who is in bomb disposal. Tanya has her mum in the audience for support today. Noel says that Tanya is very organised and asks her how organised they are at the studio, and Tanya says that they left her light on once while on the wings and she was blinded. The Banker calls and apologises for that and then turns off all the contestants lights!


Here we go...

Edmonds can be quiet - the lights in front of the boxes are actually very bright.

Wonder if "ATW" will catch on as much as "OHO" has?

Anyway, it's the turn of Nigella L... uh, Tanya today.

Round 1

4 - 10p Abbey

6 - £750 Michael

Tanya says she is hoping to get her vibes today to help her.

18 - £250 Sarah

Tanya says that she won't touch 21 as it is her fiance's name day in Holland

5 - 1p Kerry

12 - £500 Suzanne

Banker time

I wonder what day of the year the name "Noel" would be celebrated on then. Hmmmm.........

Yeah!!!

First all-blue opening round in quite a while...

Yes, look at that says Noel, the Banker isn't going to like that. The lighting director calls and says Tanya has no idea how bad he could make her look with his lighting! He is going to make the offer now!

Banker's offer:

SWAP

Tanya says

NO SWAP

Noel asks if Tanya rushed that decision, and Tanya says No as she would never swap her box.

The sound producer calls now and asks Tanya to talk louder...


Noel calls a break...

A SWAP?!??!??!

*beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*

Do you dislike swaps, then?

If the lights are that bright I suspect it is a good thing my application never got anywhere, because of my sensitivity to light.

Doesn't take an analyst to know how good that start was: the Banker declines the opportunity to give her anything to chase late in the game.

Well, that's a great first part of the show completely ruined.

And I thought it was at the second break that the player has to tell the nation to come back?

Well, I don't see any reason at all why it shouldn't have been a monetary offer...

I'd have offered at least £10k.

We're back

Round 2

Tanya thinks about box 2, but is worried as Ziggy has that one and he is a bit of a naughty boy! Ziggy talks about his pool antics at the hotel.

2 - £50 Ziggy

14 - £3,000 Wilf

Noel is shocked that people groaned at £3,000 going

19 - £10,000 Harry

Banker time

Blimey, did the pilgrims want all the blues taken out before any of the reds were touched?

The Banker tells Tanya that he thinks she is fabulous and to ignore the crew.

Banker's offer:

£12,000

Well, at least it's a monetary offer this time...

I hope you never read the commentary for Craig's game from just over 4 years ago, then.

Tanya says that is a lot of money and she would do everything with that. Noel says she wants to give her fiance driving lessons, and she talks about her own driving and how she can't park as all women aren't great at parking!

Tanya says

NO DEAL
