Matt's Game Report

Matt's game today.

Noel welcomes us in another shocking shirt, although quite tame by some of his wardrobe. It's Matt's turn at the 'pound table' today and he takes his place with box 2, he is well up for this game with shouts of 'C'MON' as he approaches the table. Noel says this could be a lively game, I think he could be right.

Round 1
3 - £100 A shout of C'MON greets the first blue
13 - 1p another C'MON
5 - £1 guess what? Another C'MON
10 - £750 No C'MON!!
6 - 50p BIG shout of C'MON

The 4th all blue opening round ever. The banker calls and has picked up that Matt always says NO DEAL while in the wings and makes an opening offer of £20,000. This sets a new show record of the highest ever opening offer, could Matt also make another record and be the first to go on the opening offer? NO..... he says NO DEAL

Round 2
18 - £5 Six blues in a row
1 - £50 Seven blues now

Noel interrupts the round and says that Matt is now in the 'Hall
of Fame' for his run of 7 blues, can he make it 8?

15 - £500

FANTASTIC round and Matt sets another record for the show with 8 blues in a row. Noel says another record is about to go, the highest second round offer ever, and picks up the phone and laughs down it at the banker. The banker offers £35,000, and as Noel rightly hinted at it is indeed another record for the show,
Matt says NO DEAL.

Next round and reds are going to start going now, or are they? There are 3 blues left.

Round 3
19 - £100,000 'ooohs' greet the first red
16 - £10,000
17 - £75,000 Silence greets the second red

Matt sits down for the first time in the game, he says those 2 large reds are good in a way as it will help his focus on the game more now. The banker calls and offers £15,000, Matt says it's a good offer but follows this with NO DEAL.

Round 4
8 - £250,000 Silence all-around and Noel pipes up 'Memories of Khanny'
12 - £1,000 Cheers for the low red
7 - 10p Good recovery there

Noel asks Jo what she thinks, she says the banker has to raise the offer now. Noel apologises to the banker for laughing earlier and now the banker is laughing, Matt says he is not going to be bullied by the banker. In light of Matt's remark the banker says he needs to adjust his offer, he calls back and offers £13,000. This receives a mixed reaction around the studio, Matt says NO DEAL.

Round 5
Chants of 'Blue Blue Blue' start to go around
4 - £3,000
22 - £20,000
More chants go around
11 - £250 the chants finally work

Matt says we are back on track now, Noel agrees. The banker is unsure of the offer that will get Matt to go..... He offers £15,000, he also says that was a fair offer, Matt disagrees and says NO DEAL.

Round 6
20 - £10 BIG CHEERS AND SHOUTS as the final blue goes
9 - £15,000 more cheers
14 - £35,000

The last round of the game leaves a final 2 of £5,000 and £50,000, the banker calls and makes a final offer of £25,000. Matt ponders on this offer for a while and then says NO DEAL.

The banker calls again just before Noel is about to open the box and offers Matt the chance to swap his box no. 2 with the remaining box 21. It is then revealed that 21 is Matt's favourite number and Matt decides to swap.... Noel swaps box 2 for box 21

Noel then opens box 21 and reveals £5,000!! Box 2 contains the £50,000

Matt gives away the £50,000 in the swap and is visually upset at this, Noel consoles Matt with the fact that he has provided a highly entertaining game that will go in the 'Hall of Fame' for the number of records he has set in the game.
