He talks about his sweater.


He thanks the spinning wheel knitters who made his jumpers.

He talks about the £40 million mark.

Gemma is playing.

She has Box 17

Are you just guessing who's playing today or did you have to bribe/threaten a few people to get it?

The thread title said Karl a minute ago...

Just guessing by who is the longest runner.

You're being a bit too eager there, Davao.

Anyway, hopefully a better game today than last Tuesday's.

I having been waiting ages to do one and hopefully I can do today's.

*Waits to see if I'll be doing the usual "previous game" thing.

I will cover today's show then.

Better change the title then!

Oh, it's done.

Hopefully a good game.

Gemma, full time mom and part time student and from Bedfordshire.

Mum and Dad and Kelly in the audience.

Boyfriend and daughter in picture.

She tells us about the baby.

Noel wipes her tears.

Housekeeping is done and off we go

Hopefully a better game than Tuesday.

Prediction: £10,000

£10,000? Or should I go for £9,950?

Hopefully this Gemma keeps the trend of her namesakes going and she keeps the £35,000 to 5 box at the very least.

NO, you should go for £9,900 so that £9,000 AND £11,000 are covered.

She is saving 22. It's the birth box.

9-Connor £10

13- Carrie £50 Gem doesn't like 13.

12-Hannah £10,000 It's OK. She is pleased with the round.


Noel says Merry Christmas to Banker. Banker thanks Dot found him so funny she had to practice pelvic-floor exercises She looks butter won't melt in her mouth. She is cautious he says.

It's official, Woody is the WORST board reader ever! £8,000 for that?!

Am I doing OK so far?

Noel appears to be wearing half an elf costume

Gemma seems a bit overwhelmed by the occasion, which is understandable, although I do wonder if a few years back when contestants only found out they were playing at the start of the show, how inconsolable she might have been...
