Jim's Deal or No Deal Game Report 11/01/11

Noel talks about the last few games, and how the Power 5 values have been coming to the table a lot, and Grace yesterday had a bad game.

Jim has box 3. Jim is from Hertfordshire, and is a retired proof-reader. He talks about his job, and says some errors did slip through and appeared after he'd proof read things! He retired and joined an amateur dramatic group and has done that for 8 years, and also learned to play the guitar. We get to see a pic of Jim's wife and his late mother-in-law. Jim's wife is in the audience today. Jim also shows a pic of his grandchildren and another pic of him playing his guitar with his mate Bob!

Jim talks about how he had prostate cancer, and Noel says that's close to his heart as his own father Dudley died in 1990 of the same cancer, and he thinks awareness of it needs to be raised. Jim has an ornament with him which is a pair of crossed fingers on a stand. Noel says he's relieved as he thought the fingers were doing something else at first.

Round 3
Andy now, and Jim says he's the Daddy. The banker phones up and says he's got some inside info, that Zowie pinched Andy's bum and Andy responded by saying that just because she's pregnant, doesn't mean he won't punch her. Jim changes his mind about Andy's box!

Round 4
