Margaret's Game Report

Noel introduces today's sporting a nice green and brown stripe shirt!! He runs through Shahid's game of yesterday, before naming Margaret as today's player.

Margaret has box 5 today and asks to do just one thing before she takes her seat and it's to wish a chap in the audience happy birthday for today, he's 83 today - Happy birthday Dennis.

We learn that Margaret was a magistrate and is a stickler for rules and everything being done right, the first person she sentenced she put to jail!

Round 1
Noel asks for NO sloppy box opening today!
19 - 50p
16 - 1p Big cheers
8 - £50 More cheers, Margaret says time for a reality check here!
17 - £1 that one receives great cheers and applause
11 - £100

Fantastic all blue opening round and the studio love it.

Margaret says it's good isn't it, and that's the way you're supposed to it!
Noel tells the banker that was a rather interesting round, and the banker says he objects! He holds Margaret in contempt! He makes an opening offer of £15,000, Margaret says it's a cracker! Her husband says just make sure you keep to the left hand side of the board. Margaret says NO DEAL.

Round 2
Noel waffles on about not spoiling it now and Margaret tells him to keep quiet as it's her game!
6 - £3,000
18 - 10p BIG cheers as the banker’s power 5 dwindles!!!
22 - £10,000

Noel says it's a good position, in fact it's very dominant. The banker says he turned over a new leaf now just for Margaret, he offers £20,000. Margaret gets some advice from Ned, he tells her to avoid the power 5 and remember you only sit in the crazy chair once, Margaret says NO DEAL.

Round 3
12 - £100,000 groans for that one, although Margaret says that was a good reality check.
2 - £5,000
15 - £50,000 more groans

Noel says that was a painful round, the banker says 'ohhh that feels better' 2 star witnesses have disappeared from the courtroom! He offers £9,000, it's a reality check says Noel, Margaret says it's far too much fun isn't it and NO DEAL.

Round 4
Margaret says the problem is now that some numbers start to mean something so it's difficult to choose...
13 - £500
7 - £250 Newbie John gets a nice welcome from Noel and he delivers a nice value.
1 - £250,000 BIG groans all around and Margaret says OUCH

That was a shame says Margaret, the banker says he's not worried anymore! He has reached his verdict and it's a short sentence - STICK! The offer remains the same as last time at £9,000, Margaret says NO DEAL.

Round 5
4 - £35,000 groans as only one power 5 remains now
20 - £75,000 More groans as the last power 5 goes and the whole studio falls silent.
9 - £5

'Arrrgghh' says Noel, Margaret says it's still not bad. The banker calls and offers £5,500, Margaret's husband joins her for a little chat at the pound table before Margaret says NO DEAL.

Round 6
14 - £10 Big cheers for the lowest remaining blue
3 - £15,000 groans for the middle red, £20,000 still remains
21 - £1,000 big cheers

That round leaves a final 2 of £20,000 and £750, Margaret turns to her hubbie and says 'good wasn't it', she's having a great time, she says the banker won't have a clue what she's thinking as she doesn't either! The banker calls and makes an offer of £6,700, Margaret turns to hubbie who says it's a difficult decision, Margaret says NO DEAL.

Margaret's decision gets great applause from the whole studio, the banker calls back and offers Margaret the chance to swap her box over with the remaining box. Margaret says NO SWAP because the number she has is her mother-in-laws birthday.

Noel opens Margaret's box 5 and reveals £20,000, box contains the £750.

Margaret gives us a fantastic game and a nice win, she's says she could have taken that amount earlier on and everyone could have knocked off early and gone home!
