Wilf's game today.

Noel introduces the show in a spaghetti western style to mark the Banker's birthday week. Everyone is dressed as either cowboys and Indians. Noel says that Wilf has been the inspiration for the theme as he dresses in a cowboy style normally.

Wilf has box 12 today.

Wilf is from Leeds, and Noel asks him about his fascination with the wild west, so Wilf explains how a friend introduced him to it. Wilf explains about the quick draw competitions that he enters, and how he came 3rd in a competition and was beat by a woman. Wilf shows us a picture of him, his wife and their friends dressed in their costumes. He has a dream-catcher with him and explains how they are used, and then explains about a dream he had about DoND and how a figure came into his head, and he writes that figure into Noel's book.

Wilf gives the Banker the dream-catcher as a birthday present.

Here we go...

Michael next and he says he feels like he is from The village people

1 - £5,000 Michael

Banker time

The Banker says 'Howdy partner'. Noel asks the Banker what he is dressed as, and the Banker says he has dressed half and half as he can't take sides. He says that he loved playing cowboys and Indians when he was a little boy, and he thanks Wilf for the present. The Banker talks about the 'tin can alley' and says there are potential great treasures contained in it, but he will tell us more later.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Wilf says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Noel says that yesterday he mentioned that for the last 3 days the 1p has appeared in the 1st box of the 2nd round and then appeared again, will it happen again today?

Round 2

19 - £5 Ron

13 - 50p Newbie Francesca

6 - £50 Kerry-Anne

Banker time

The Banker says that he is beginning to regret this is a special week, as at 5-box Wilf could earn the chance to go forward 1-box at a time, but he will explain more later. The Banker asks Wilf to demonstrate his quick draw skills, and wants Noel to compete with him. Wilf has a couple of water pistols and then Noel receives a couple of bananas. Noel and wilf then do battle, and Wilf wins

Banker's offer:

£15,000

Think of all the stuff you could get with that says Noel. Wilf talks about how his wife had cancer, but has now received the all clear and she has fully recovered

Wilf then picks a box to open, but the Banker calls and reminds Noel that he hasn't asked the question yet!

Wilf says

NO DEAL

Round 3

17 - £250 Abbey

That's a nice block says Wilf. Noel tells him he has had 6 blues in a row now.

2 - £500 Stacey

That is an amazing board says Noel, he then calls a break...

£5k increase from an ALL BLUE round?! WHAT?!

We're back
Last box before the Banker

5 - £10,000 Rob

Banker time

This is fantastic says Noel. Noel tells the Banker he is in trouble if Wilf goes to 5-box. The Banker says he was going to tell Wilf all about tincan alley, and also how he could win a holiday, but he doesn't want Wilf to get to 5-box so he is not going to tell him!

Banker's offer:

£20,000

Good offer, but very much worth going on.

Wilf says that is a lot of money, and the offer isn't far off the dream he had. Wilf goes to the wings for advice, and they tell him he has a great board and that is why the offer is so high.

Wilf says

DEAL

There are gasps from the pilgrims, and Noel says this is an incredible game, he then calls a break...

OH MY... DEALING with ALL the power five still in play?!?

Stupid thing to do!

That was a very easy no deal.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?!?!??!?!

Is that the first time a contestant has dealt at the 3rd offer during a special week (when contestants are usually encouraged to play to 5-box to use the twist)?

Yes it is - though we have had 8-box deals in specials before.

Personally, I think that was a poor decision - definitely not playing the board.
