Mark's game today.

Why is Noel wearing a camouflage shirt?!

Noel talks about the banker's birthday cards and runs through the twist which applies to shows this week...

His eyes are creepy!

Oh! I'm surprised it's his turn!

Mark has box 15.

Noel makes fun of Mark as he's wearing white trainers Noel says Mark has expressive eyes, and Noel wonders if they work with the ladies as they're very blue! Mark said they used to, but he's taken now, with Charlotte, who he met at secondary school. He met her online again via the net 4 years ago, and they're getting married this year

Mark's job is to work with the NHS and to try and improve it... he says he meets some lovely people in his job and he enjoys doing it. He shows some pics of his dog and Charlotte. Mark says he thinks today is his day, and he has good feelings about his box...

Here we go...

Long-winded intro doesn't bode well. But he says it his day! We'll see.

20 - newbie Deano - £15,000

Deano nearly broke the box as he leant on it, as he's rather a big bloke (to quote Noel... )

2 - Harvey - £100

3 - Joanne - £250,000

He thinks he has either £75k or £100k in his box...

6 - Andy - £1

7 - Harry - 1p

Time for the banker...

There's Deano!

Always a downer when the £250k goes. But the 1p has gone to balance things up though!

The banker's excited about his party tomorrow, and says Noel can be the presenter and carry the food around The banker says he was at the karaoke last night being entertained by the contestants. He says Tommii had special permission from his parents to be out late Mark did a duet of Summer Loving with Mark! Noel asks if Jo sung Long and Winding Road!!

The banker promises to not make any eye jokes... but he says puns are low brow, Mark can give him 40 lashes and then he makes jokes about teachers and pupils
