Odd sounds from the audience. 'It's the highest of those four, but what really matters is that it's not one of those two... it does, however, put added pressure on this box.'

'Rosalind, 6.' 'Much good luck to you, I must admit I'm rather shaking right now.'

Box 6 - £1

Cue delerium. 'Oh, Yvonne, Yvonne!' Patrick cries. 'Look where we are now!'

'It's lovely, isn't it?' she replies. 'The minimum you can leave with tonight is £400. This offer, however, will be rather a lot more than that...'

*ring*

'And now you have a problem. Admit it.'

'You're not going to? You're staying in denial? Oh, fine.'

'Last offer, nine and a half thousand...

...we're now at nineTEEN and a half thousand pounds!'



'That's good money,' says Yvonne. 'Not for this board it isn't,' replies Donald instantly. 'I know I said I had a bad feeling, but that's gone now. That offer is nowhere near reflecting the value of the board.'

'I was thinking it could have been more... and yeah, I think you're right. Ask me the question.'

'£19,500... Deal or No Deal?' 'No Deal!'

'You don't have to listen to me!' Donald shouts. 'I'm just the number guy!'

'One more number to pick, one more box to open...

'I'll go with Cyril, 16.'

'Cyril, would you have taken that offer?' 'I think Donald might have talked me out of it.' 'Open Box 16... anything from £10,000 downwards will provoke ecstasy.'

Box 16 - £1,000

Yvonne runs over to Cyril and gives him a hug. 'I'm glad he made you go on,' Cyril tells Yvonne.

'I wonder where he's going now...'

*ring*

'Own up, you haven't even given her a problem yet.'

'Uh... kay.'

'He's cranking it up and cranking it up... he doesn't want to, but he has no choice. £29,500!'



'Right,' says Donald. 'I'm going to assume you have £400 in the box, because he's treated you like dirt tonight.' 'And...?' asks Yvonne. 'That still means only a 25% chance you're going to hit £200,000. Not even £100,000 can kill this game, or even the offer. I'd go on.'

'Thanks,' said Yvonne. 'I thought you'd say that. And I can really feel something... I feel good.'

'Are you ready?' 'Aye.' '£29,500... Deal or No Deal?' 'No Deal.'

'One more... don't let yourself get carried away, the danger is growing all the time. This is a massive choice.'

'I'm not superstitious, but Lucky 7 with Alisha please.' 'Well, I am supersitious,' says Alisha, 'and I think this is lucky for you.'

Box 7 - £10,000

Alisha jumps and cheers with everyone. 'Now, now... we really ARE getting somewhere now!'

*ring*

'And I'd imagine he might have to give you a problem... hello? Hello?

You haven't had a lot of fun have you? Wishing you'd never moved?' Cue laughter.

Patrick hangs up. 'He's fed up of you making decisions quickly, so he has specifically told me to tell you the offer and then give you the break to think about it.'

'I... guess I've rattled him?' enquires Yvonne.

A pause.

'I think you have. £49,500!' roars Patrick. 'And now a break!'

'Welcome back... we've given Yvonne the break to mull over a massive offer of £49,500...'

'I don't need any more time to think,' insists Yvonne. 'I know what to do.'

'£49,500... to go... right now...

...Deal... or No Deal?'

'NO DEAL!' The crowd look a little shocked. 'But there's only one to open!'

'There is, indeed, only one to open... which one shall it be?'

'Box 2... the lovely Scottish lad Ewan. I've been saving him...'

'Ewan, if this is £400 or £5,000, this place is going to go crazy. If it's £200,000, we will be horrified.'

'I really hope this works out for you, lassie. I really, really do.'

Box 2 - £400

The crowd goes absolutely mental, Yvonne rushing towards Ewan with shock as much as delight. 'Thank you so much,' she tells him, with tears now in her eyes.

'£49,500 didn't cause you a problem, or at least didn't appear to. And now you've taken out the last blue...'

*ring*

'...I think the Banker might have some rethinking to do here.'

'And it's taken you this long to realise? Seriously?'

'Well... OK. It's your own fault.' The crowd cheer very loudly at this point.

'Any idea what's coming?' Patrick asks Yvonne. 'Any at all?'

'More than before, beyond that...'

'Donald, any idea at all?'

'It depends on how much sense he has, but I would have thought this will be huge.'

'Well... this is pretty huge...'

Silence. The camera cuts to Yvonne looking nervous, still crying a bit.

'£89,500!'



Yvonne starts crying. 'I... just cannot believe that.'

'Believe it. You know why he's made that offer, and now you have to decide what to do with it.'

'I... think I know.'

'Are you sure?'

'...yes, yes, I am.'

'£89,500...

...Deal...

...or No Deal?'

A short pause.

'DEAL!!' she screams, and she leaps into Patrick and jumps around uncontrollably.

'Well, well. Oh, I am so happy for you Yvonne. You've risen to the challenge, and you've emerged a massive £89,500 richer...' More whoops from the audience. '...but we may find out there could have been even more for you. What would you have done now?'

'26, Ben. I was saving that too.'

'BOOYEAH!' Ben cries, before anyone else can. 'And well done Yvonne!'

Box 26 - £5,000

Gasps of horror.

'Oh, Yvonne. Oh... Yvonne... had you gone on and picked 26, you would now be guaranteed at least £100,000...'

'I know... but I have nearly that anyway, so...'

'You have been a fantastic contestant. But as it turned out...' A very brief call. 'You could now have been facing an offer of £149,500.'



Yvonne seems relatively cool amongst huge groans from everyone else.

'Now we find out whether you missed out on the chance to more than double your money, or whether you actually didn't miss out on a huge amount. Either way, I'm sure the money will be of enormous use to you and your family, I wish you every success in the future, but after taking £89,500, it turned out you had...'

...

...

'£100,000.' Applause.

'Margaret, please open Box 25...' As Margaret opens her box to reveal £200,000, she leads a group rendition of Congratulations.

Patrick refuses to join in, simply saying 'That's what this game's all about - high drama, huge money and big happy moments like this! We'll do it all again tomorrow, or at least I hope we do! Goodnight!'
