A rather dotty/spotty Noel introduces the show today and has a little comedy moment with the game board as the DOND box fails to appear! Noel talks about the previous few games and how he has really enjoyed them, he then asks for a straightforward big money win today.
It’s Nathan’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he has box 18. Noel says Nathan has only said a few words while he has been on the wings, and the banker has nothing to go on, as his file is empty, he is a mystery man. Noel talks about how
Nathan recently destroyed a game and then laughed!! Nathan has his girlfriend Vicky in the audience for support, and Noel asks how long have they been seeing each other, she replies it's about a year, and could go on for a lot longer if Nathan wins loads…

NO DEAL
Round 2
1 - £1
2 - £35,000 Groans for that one...
Nathan asks Anne-Marie what she thinks she has, and she thinks a blue, but Nathan is not so sure... So goes elsewhere

Noel says there is a big gap in the reds now, but Nathan replies it's OK at the moment.
The banker has worked out a formula, that continuing to go out with Vicky works out at £10,000 a year, so if he wins £250,000 they are OK for 25 years!! He then offers the next 2 years of £20,000. Nathan says
NO DEAL

That was a very painful round says Noel. The banker calls and Nathan beats Noel to the phone and picks it up! Noel turns to the camera and says I'm redundant now! He then disappears off stage and is seen reading a paper!! The Banker chats to Nathan and then offers £5,000, and Nathan shouts out that Noel can come back now, and Noel replies "Nah, you can do it all yourself"!! He says that picking up the phone is his only job, and gets out a tissue to wipe away his tears!!! He then tells Nathan to DEAL!!! Nathan says
NO DEAL

The Banker calls and again makes a double offer, this time it’s £500 + romantic dinner for Vicky, but she chooses who she takes! Nathan asks where the dinner will be, as it could be in another country and it would be well worth taking. The banker calls back and says it's at a restaurant of his choosing! Nathan says
DEAL
Noel opens box 18 and reveals £1,000!
Box 19 contains £10
