Happy New Year!

A few visual changes this year, most notably being Noel himself! Where most people put on weight over Christmas, Noel's lost it!

He also has a new style of attire, this is one of many dapper suites.

The Offer Button has a changed design on the table, and WHAT'S THAT next to Box 23!? It's the Loot Chute, which later on we will see The Banker's opening offer come down, and the people in the studio can also send stuff to The Banker by hitting the prominent red button.

We see a video montage of Noel taking the absolute p*** out of Miriam's accent and she takes the walk of wealth!

Miriam has Box 3.

Miriam drops a photo and more calamity ensues!

Miriam Pervis is from Motherwell, a retired dress shop owner, and has a gift of The Banker, a pair of tartan underpants!

We see a black and white picture of Miriam and her husband, Adam's wedding. He doesn't say a lot, and is in the audience for support.

PLEASE NOTE; The stats board has gone, and is replaced by the main game board.

Miriam says they get on so well because they are completely opposite, and the one thing that makes Adam happy, she isn't going to tell Noel!

Housekeeping done, we are off!

Noel looks... Formal.

There is only one Shirtmaster now, and I think we know who it is .

Is it me or does the board look different on screen?

Starting with Comfort.

Box 21-

£50

Steven now, who's wearing tartan. Steve proclaims he longs to be a Scot.

Box 7-

£250,000

Noel says Steven had that in the last game.. 5 months previous!

Connor next!

Box 8-

£250

"The other 250" Noel murmurs.

Miriam tells a quick story about how she mistook another man in the hotel for Mo, and it turned out to be Comfort's husbands cousin!

Box 15-

£750

Andrew now!

Box 16-

£35,000

BT

I'm going to predict £2,015!

Prediction: £4,000

Noel thinks that finding the £250,000 AND £35,000 makes it very difficult for Miriam to predict the opening offer.

The Banker says the fashion police FINALLY raided Noel's house. Now the people of Britain will be spared their afternoon migraine.

The Banker introduces the LOOT CHUTE!

The Banker explains how it works, apparently The Banker's chute goes both ways!

The Banker will make a sound when his chute is activated. Too exciting for words.

Back to the game, and he doesn't see Miriam as a threat. Sees her as slight, not as dangerous.

The Offer is in transit, The offer has arrived!

I would predict £2,500.

Carl and Comfort pipe up with some offers, as does Woody. All in the region of £2,400-£3,000.

Miriam says

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£2,800

Is she right? Find out.. After the Break!

Did Woody seriously just say £800?!

Holidays to Paris, New York and the Carribean PLUS £5,000 are all up for grabs in this competition. Texts cost £2.. :O DON'T BOTHER

I see they've dropped the question from the competition.

Yes, I think the "arms" are shorter.

£2 to send a text?!

What would all of you guys predict? Do you think she has activated The Offer Button?

No different than the cost of the phonecall to enter before (and postal entries are available for the cost of a stamp)

Welcome Back to the first Deal or No Deal of 2015. Before the break, Miriam predicted the opening offer as £2,800. If she is correct, within 10% either side, then she will have a one time use of the Offer Button. She can push that only once when she wants to recieve an instant offer.

The actual offer is..

BANKER'S OFFER

£3,000

The most exciting moment on British television, The Offer Button is.. ACTIVE!
