No questions except one today... Beard or No Beard!! Think the graphics guys are playing an April fool joke on Noel!!

Noel welcomes us and tells us the banker is claiming 18 victories in a row now, after no contestant has beaten him for quite a while a now.

It’s Joe’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he does so with box 22. Joe is local to Bristol, and works for the Post Office, so is now stranger to red boxes says Noel!! Joe tells a story of how he wanted to work in printing, but couldn't and his dad
who was a barber got him a job in the Post Office. Joe has his wife Desire in the audience, but she prefers to be known as Des... Joe says he likes a gamble, and tells Noel he won't be an April Fool today...

The Banker says “Hello Noel, Stop.” Referring to the old telegrams that used to be sent by the Post Office, He says he feels invincible at the moment, and likes the name Desire, it sounds like a potato!

He is going to give Joe a chance to think about the offer again!! He offers £10,000, and Joe asks for the question straight away! He says NO DEAL

The banker calls back before the next round starts! He tells everyone it was a very good offer, and then tells Joe NOT to pick a fight with him, as he is the only First Class male here!!

Blue chants start
1 - 10p BIG CHEERS and it's just what we wanted says Noel

Noel wonders if the banker will be evil and offer £10,000, he rings and says he will not be offering £10,000. He offers a 2nd Class Stamp!!!! The banker calls back and asks to speak to Joe. Joe takes the phone and says "OH I'm quivering!!!" Noel says "OH Don't"!! Joe then starts saying "Yes Mr Banker, No Mr Banker" Joe then goes to hand the phone over and knocks over his mug!!!! The banker revises his offer to £17,500… That's a good offer says Noel, and it's real money. Joe's wife says it's your game, but if you take the £100,000 out you won't see the £17,500 offer again. Joe says NO DEAL

That was brave says Noel
Round 5

The Banker says the board is unstable now, and it's time to come clean and he says he has respect for Joe now, and he then offers £17,500. Noel tells Joe that the banker thinks he has got Joe with that offer, and Joe calls his wife down and asks her advice, and she says to deal. Noel asks the question and Joe's wife says DEAL!! Joe says DEAL
