Darrens's game today.

Noel welcomes us to the dream factory for the start of a new week. He talks about the "wing states", and the different stages that the contestants go through, he says we are in a cautious state at the moment, but he hopes that changes today and we go into a courageous state.

Darren has box 17 today and on his way to the pound table he drops his piccies off the box which Noel rushes over to pick up. We see the pics and there is one of his cat Milly and his family. He works in insurance and Noel asks if he has taken out cover to protect against the 1p!!

He has his sister in the audience for support, we learn that he doesn't have a financial target, but wants enough for a nose job! Noel says I'll save you some money and gets out a mask and a lump hammer!!!

Here we go...

Why is there a hammer in the pound table??????

I suppose Noel keeps it there in case anybody deals at the second offer....

Round 1

22 - 50p

13 - £10

3 - £100

18 - £3,000

10 - 1p Big cheers

Banker time

Ohhh great first round!

That's the sort of opening round that most dream about says Noel, he wonders what the banker thinks of Darren. The banker says that the contestants need a massive turn around as all he can smell at the moment is fear! Although with a nose like Darren's thats not surprising he says!!! The banker has checked a few websites and he is offering £2,000 for each inch that Darren needs removed from his nose!!!!


Banker offers

£12,000

Good start from Darren

Darren getting barracked badly by Noel and the banker about his nose

Darren says

NO DEAL

I can see game having a NOSE dive.

Next round

9 - £ 15,000 Doug fights his way into his box

20 - £50

Noel is in hysterics at the moment over the nose job banter and then says the board has the smell of sweet success, but will it conk out after the break!!!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww I love Sarah B!! Not as much as the Sarah, obviously, but she has such a sweet face. Darren's quite cool too, I suppose...better than I thought he'd be from his time on the wings.

Is it just me that loves Doug's box openings.

We're back
