The Banker says we're at the point where Brian's dream can become reality. The Banker plays on the fact box 7 is special to him.

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,777

Brian says it's quite dicey, but could also be a good one. George says it's a good offer, and it's close to the figure they had discussed before.

Brian says:

DEAL

Was quite surprised at that £7,777 offer, definitely the first proper instance of the ITV Banker playing the player more so than the board.

Certainly not gonna complain about it though, £7,777 was still a reasonable offer for the board and the perfect amount to pressure Brian into dealing.

Round 6 - proveout

10 - Alex M - £5

14 - Jemma - £75,000

Round 7 - proveout

22 - Mark - £500

The Banker wishes Brian well with his winnings. He also wants Brian to take Stephen to an Arsenal game to watch Ian Rush and John Barnes.

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£5,525

Stephen opens box 6 to reveal 10p

7 - Karen - £10,000

Brian says it's the best experience he's ever had.

It's always nice when a player gets the maximum out of their game.

£7,777 is less generous than we're used to this banker being, but it's clear Brian didn't want to risk it so fair play to him - I reckon he was tempted by his 8-box offer!

Is this the first time that two contestants of the same name have played back-to-back shows (ignoring the celebrity show yesterday)?

It may well be. I don't recall this ever happening in the C4 series.
