Esher has box 7 today.

Esher is a bus driver from London. We see a photo of her son while at school, although she says he is 20 now. Esher has an angel teddy bear that her son bought her with his pocket money when he was younger.
Noel asks if Esher has a system based on her favourite bus routes in London, but she doesn't

Round 1
13 - £50 Betty
3 - £750 Kayleigh

Round 2

Esher says
NO DEAL

11 - £100 Sam
Noel goes over to the gameboard and says that it is quite an unusual board as most of the action is taking place with the middle amounts.
18 - £5 Billy

Banker time
The Banker says that if Esher plays on here and has an all-blue round her offer will sky-rocket, but an all-red round and it will plummet.

Banker's offer:
£17,000

Esher goes to Richie for advice, and he says that the Banker has summed things up really well, and this next round is so important for her. Esher talks about how the money would help her so much, and enable her to take her mum away on holiday.

Esher says
NO DEAL

Round 4
10 - £20,000 Lamin
9 - £10 Jean
Noel says that the way this game is unfolding has been amazing.
19 - £1 Emma

Banker time
The Banker says that if Esher plays on the chances of her hitting one of the big reds is huge. Noel talks about days when only the governor will do...

Banker's offer:
£27,500

Esher talks about 21 being the number of her bus, and also how her son has always told her she will win big in her game, and she also has this feeling today.

Esher says
NO DEAL

Round 5
5 - £500 Dean
Noel asks if we dare start to dream on an all red 5-box.
17 - 1p Smithy
A shout of 'Yes' from Noel, with lots of screams from Esher.
20 - 10p Laura

Banker time
What about that says Noel, this is one of those sensational games. Esher is in tears as Noel talks about the sensational board with 4 of the power 5 still in play. The Banker says that the chances of Esher doing what she just did is less than 2%

Noel plays around with values of what the offer isn't.

Banker's offer:
£60,000

Richie says that is a big offer, and he has gone into his shell a bit on this board. Lamin says if it was his game he would play on here.

Esher says
NO DEAL

Round 6
Noel talks about how everyone knows how hard Esher has to work as a bus driver, and that couldn't have been easy to turn down.
12 - £250,000 Sammy
The Banker calls and says that once in a while someone comes along who makes you believe that they will win the £250,000, and he is now going to offer Esher a lifeline

Banker's offer:
£25,000

Esher says
NO DEAL

Round 6 - Continued
22 - £35,000 Versila

The Banker calls again and says he was tempted to allow Esher to play on here, but now he is going to help her...

Esher says
NO DEAL

Round 6 - Final box
14 - £100,000 Richie

Banker time with £1,000 and £75,000 remaining

This is going to be really uncomfortable now says Noel, as this offer will be really teasing.

Banker's offer:
£28,000

Esher talks about the feeling she has about box 21, and Noel says that she could ask the Banker if he would offer the SWAP, but the Banker calls and says that he won't offer the swap.

Esher says
NO DEAL

Noel does a big build up before opening the box, and then the Banker calls and changes his mind

Banker's offer:
SWAP

Esher says
SWAP

Noel takes box 7 away from Esher and gives her box 21

Noel opens Esher's box 21 and reveals £1,000

If the phone hadn't rung you would have won £75,000 says Noel

Banker time
The Banker sends out some moisturiser for Calvert as he keeps rubbing his hands together.

Banker's offer:

12 - £75,000 Mo
That was the worst possible start says Noel.
16 - 10p Aleks
13 - £50,000 Stan

Banker time
That's a crash says Noel. The Banker asks if Calvert's wife is OK, and if she wants to walk out on Calvert now he will be there for her to pick up the pieces. He then tells Calvert not to chase the game.

Banker's offer:
£7,500

Calvert gets advice from the wings. Calvert says that sometimes you just have to try, the Banker then calls and says that he agrees with Calvert and that is why he didn't crash this offer, as he respects that Calvert gave it a go.

Calvert says
DEAL

Sarah Millican's Deal or No Deal Game Report 29/04/12 - Celebrity Specials

Today's celebrity player is SARAH MILLICAN.

We get to see a video clip of Sarah Millican and she talks about being on DoND. She says she's a massive fan of the show and loves how it can get very tense so quickly.

Noel says we'll find out about Sarah's charity later on. We get introduced to the people on the wings, who are Sarah's family and friends, including DoND's very own warm-up guy Mark Olver.

Sarah chooses a ball at random and it's number 7. This is the box she gets given.

Round 1
Sarah says box 7 feels good.
6 - Karen - £15,000
20 - Aemen - £5
Sarah points out that she has a letterbox on her board.
16 - Sarah J - £1,000
21 - Victoria - £500
Sarah talks about what the box openers are wearing, and Noel points out Simon's shirt. Sarah says Noel's influencing things, and Noel says he'll shut up.
8 - Elaine - £1

Banker time
The banker says he longs after Sarah, and she says he's been flirting with her on Twitter! He says this is like a love film, and we see some photoshopped photos of Sarah in romantic situations with the banker's phone. The banker gets Noel to go down on one knee and he proposes to Sarah, and she says "no deal"!

Banker's offer:
£12,000

Sarah says
NO DEAL

Round 2
Sarah says she's raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support, as cancer affects so many people directly or indirectly. Comedian Joe Lycett next, and he says Sarah once did a wee in the passenger seat of his car!
3 - Joe - £3,000
Joe says hello to his granddad as he opens his box, and the banker rings up and says that was rude, as box-openers during the celebrity shows normally say how nice it is to meet Noel!
13 - Denise - £750
22 - Susan - £50,000

Banker time
The banker says he's going to try and appeal to the inner Sarah.

Banker's offer:
£15,000 + lifetime supply of banoffee pie

Sarah says that pie is her favourite dessert! She wonders whether she could give the pies to charity, and the banker rings and says they're a bit dodgy as they're home-made, and they're all for Sarah.

Sarah says
NO DEAL

Round 3
14 - John - £10
1 - Simon - £75,000
11 - Elizabeth - £35,000

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Sarah says
NO DEAL

Round 4
10 - Victoria - £10,000
15 - Jonathan - £100
17 - Juliet - £20,000

Banker time
Noel says the game's swung to the banker now. He says this is a genuine attempt by the banker to get a deal.

Banker's offer:
£11,000

The others tell Sarah that she's always a positive thinker, and Sarah says the problem is that it's not her money. She asks the audience, and only a few people think she should deal. John says she may have to go to the end if she goes on now, and the banker rings and says if she goes on, the odds of hitting the £250k are 37.5%.

Sarah says
NO DEAL

Round 5
Noel says this game is so finely balanced now. Sarah says she feels a bit sick now!
5 - Andy - £50
12 - Lou - 10p
Sarah chooses box 9, and the banker rings and says this box could change lives, and Sarah tells him to have a heart. He says he's had a feeling all game that box 9 has the £250,000. Sarah says she's sticking with box 9, and the banker rings and says on her head be it!
9 - Gary - £250,000

Banker time
The banker laughs wildly down the phone and the audience BOOs. He tells Sarah to listen to him now.

Banker's offer:
£5,500

Sarah says £20,000 would be a more meaty sum for charity. The banker rings and says if Sarah declines £5,500, she can open 2 boxes before the next offer. If the £100k isn't discovered, the offer will be £20,000. Mark Olver says what the banker's promising is really good. The banker rings back and says there's a new offer now.

Banker's offer:
£9,000

The banker confirms his other promise still holds true. Sarah asks the audience, and a lady in the audience says she has terminal cancer and tells Sarah to go on. Noel speaks to the lady and she says that Sarah just playing today will have a massive impact for the charity in terms of the publicity raised for it. Noel then speaks to another lady in the audience who has terminal cancer.

Sarah says
NO DEAL

Round 6
2 - Sally-Anne - £5,000
19 - Steve - 1p

Banker time, as Sarah didn't find the £100k

Banker's offer:
£20,000

Sarah talks about the sums of money, and then she lifts the phone and is surprised to hear the banker is already there! John says he'd take the money, and Sarah says it'd be mortifying if she went all the way and didn't get £100k. Noel asks the ladies in the audience what they think, and they say it's hard because £20k goes a long way.

Sarah says
DEAL

Round 6 - proveout - final box
18 - Mark Olver - 50p

Banker time with £250 and £100,000 remaining

Banker's offer would've been:
£36,000

Olly Murs Deal or No Deal Game Report - 22/04/12 - Celebrity Special

Today's celebrity player is OLLY MURS.

Noel says he doesn't know why any famous face would play the game, as there are no fallbacks for the celebrities! We get to see some video footage of when Olly was on Deal or No Deal in 2007 and won £10, followed by a rundown of what's happened to him since then!

Olly says this is weird, and he swears he's done this before. Olly says it wasn't a nice moment when he won the £10, and he says he applied for another TV show afterwards and he's done well for himself since! He says box 14 is his lucky number and it wasn't lucky for him last time.

Olly chooses a ball at random and it's number 3, which is the box he gets. He says he played with that last time!

1 - Nathan - £500
Olly says he had a strategy last time but it was horrendous!
15 - Rupert - 1p
7 - Lou - £1
22 - Joshua? - £5
13 - Lee - £75,000

Olly wonders if the banker's got grumpy in his old age, and the banker says he's listening to a Joe McElderry album. He says he thought Olly was a baritone, but he turned out to be a tenor/tenner! The banker shows a clip of Olly's walk of wealth from 2007, and he says Noel looked like Einstein back then.

Banker's offer:
£8,500

Olly says it's too early in the game to deal.

5 - James H - £250,000

4 - Pete - £100

Banker time
The banker says the £10 is winking at him.

Banker's offer:
£1,000

Everyone BOOs the offer, and Olly says it wasn't a great offer. The banker says he'd have offered more, but he tweeted Olly yesterday and he didn't reply! Noel then says it was Katie's job to ensure he replied, and the banker rings and says JLS and One Direction tweeted him yesterday.

Olly says
NO DEAL

Round 3
21 - Sarah - £1,000
Olly goes for his aunt Rachael next, and he tells a story of how embarrassing she was when she met Robbie Williams at The X Factor!

£4,010

Olly says

Round 4
6 - Ben - £5,000
17 - James M - £10,000
2 - Kirk - 10p

Banker time
The banker talks about the £10 still being on the board!

Banker's offer:
£10,010

Noel says that's the top of the game so far. Olly says he really doesn't want to win a low amount for his charity. The banker rings and tells Olly not to go on, as he's the patron of the charity and they might sack him as patron! Olly wonders what the chances are of knocking out the top values in the next round, and he says he's done it before.

Olly says
NO DEAL

Round 5
Noel talks about the banker's fixation with the £10, and he comments on how nervous Olly is. The banker rings and says the last time Olly played, this was the round where he took out the top 3!
20 - John P - £100,000
8 - Darren - £50,000
"Not again" says Olly! The banker rings and says this game is so 2007, and it's going to happen again. Olly's sister Fay tells him to stop focussing on the game he had before.
16 - Ryan - £15,000

Banker time
The banker laughs manically down the phone, and offers some special Olly Murs cheesy nibbles! He says he doesn't envy Olly's position at all now.

Banker's offer:
£2,010

The banker says he's had fun at Olly's expense, but he recognises that Olly has always been complimentary about his previous time on DoND. He says if Olly says no deal, he'll let Olly go on one box at a time.

Olly says
NO DEAL

Round 6 - box 1
Olly says he's reluctant to go for box 14 as it had £10 in before.

Olly says
NO DEAL

Round 6 - box 3
Olly says he feels physically sick!
14 - Faye - £250

Banker time with 50p and £10 remaining...

Noel wonders if this is the greatest magic trick ever, and he says the banker can hardly breathe as he's laughing so much!

Banker's offer:
£2.99

Olly says he honestly can't believe it, and Noel says he can't either. He says he feels he's let his charity down, and Noel says the publicity the charity has received makes up for the bad game.

Olly says
NO DEAL

Banker's offer:
SWAP

Olly says he swapped last time.

Olly says
NO SWAP

Noel says he's seen some unbelievable coincidences on this show, and this would be one of the biggest if Olly wins £10 again.

Noel opens Olly's box 3 and Olly wins 50p for his charity.

Box 11 with Jeff contains the £10

Noel says if Olly had swapped again, he'd have won £10 again!

Jimmy Carr's Deal or No Deal Game Report - Deal or No Deal Celebrity Specials

Today's celebrity player is JIMMY CARR.

Noel welcomes us to the first ever celebrity special of Deal or No Deal, and there are some special titles which feature a giant phone attacking Noel. Noel talks about the varying games that the show brings, and he wonders how celebrities will play the games because they'll be playing for charity.

We get to see a video which features Jimmy Carr talking about being on the show.

Jimmy says he can't believe his luck and thinks it's really weird! Noel says anyone can stand up and make people laugh, but DoND is a very complex game! Jimmy says today's box-openers are comedians from Britain's comedy circuit, and Noel says it should be the funniest show ever.

The goldfish-bowl of balls are brought out for Jimmy to choose a box, and he randomly chooses BOX 22.

Round 1
Jimmy says he's thrilled to be playing with the death box. He chooses Adam first, and he talks about his worst ever comedy gig!
2 - Adam - £10
5 - Jojo - £100,000
Jimmy asks Mick what he thinks about his box, and he says he only agreed to be on the show as he thought Alan Carr was playing.
17 - Mick - £5
8 - Tom - £1,000
9 - Alistair - £5,000

Banker time
The banker screams down the phone and speaks to Jimmy. Jimmy asks the banker whether he wants to steal all the money and they can split it between them. The banker says if Jimmy says DEAL now, he'll get a free holiday to the Seychelles!

Banker's offer:
HOLIDAY BRIBE

Jimmy says he can't go on holiday as he has shows to do - proper comedy shows, not daytime shows. Jimmy says if the banker works for him, he'll put him on-screen! The banker rings back and also offers a diamond bracelet to Jimmy's girlfriend!

Banker's offer:
BLING BRIBE

Jimmy says his girlfriend would sleep with the banker to get that, as the ring is worth £10,000. The banker rings back and says deal! He then rings again and says the ring will be engraved so it can only be sold to Piers Morgan.

Jimmy says
NO DEAL

Round 2
3 - Nick - £15,000
Jimmy asks Suzi what she thinks, and Noel recognises she's nervous, but says she can't ruin the game as Jimmy's doing that! He considers going with Suzi but then wonders about going for Stephen, who says he's a bit colour-blind and all the boxes are blue to him.
14 - Suzi - £3,000
13 - Stephen - £250,000

Banker time
Jimmy talks about the charity he's playing for, which is Helen and Douglas House. He says it's a hospice that helps sick and dying children, and he talks about the work they do.

Banker's offer:
£1,000

Jimmy wonders if the banker wasn't listening to what Jimmy said about the children's hospice.

The banker rings back and changes the offer...

Banker's offer:
£500

Jimmy says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Mick shows off with some DoND terminology and says he's a fan of the show. Pippa next, and Noel says she used to work with him on Noel's House Party.
11 - Pippa - £250
James next, and he can barely open the box!
6 - James - 1p
Justin says even if the hospice doesn't get much money, the viewers will have enjoyed seeing the best-dressed two men on Channel 4! Justin and Jimmy then mock Noel's hair and his height.
1 - Danielle - 10p

Banker time
The banker says he knows how much Jimmy cares about the hospice.

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Jimmy says that's a good offer for the board, and Stephen says it's not as there are still many higher amounts left. The others wonder if Jimmy can ring the banker and offer money, and Jimmy says you can't dial out from the phone to stop Noel using it for sex lines!

Jimmy says
NO DEAL

Round 4
10 - Tiffany - £50,000
Ben next, and he talks about how there could be a live/dead cat in the box!
15 - Ben - £75,000

18 - Paul - £10,000

Banker time
Noel says this is a one-box game now. Ben tells Jimmy to find out if the holiday's still available!

Banker's offer:
£3,500

Jimmy says it's a very good offer, and Mick says the banker has to go back up if he just keeps the £35k in play. Jimmy says he's tempted to deal, and Mike says that's a good idea with Jimmy's present form! Ian tells Jimmy that he's come this far, so he may as well go on and *beep* it up totally. Jimmy asks for a sweep, and Justin says the walk of wealth looks like a massive penis! Tiffany says if Jimmy goes on, they'll raise money through their gigs. The others agree that he should play on.

Jimmy says
NO DEAL

Round 6
12 - Chris - 50p
20 - John - £100
4 - Ian - £1

Banker time with £750 and £35,000 remaining...

Jimmy says he's actually shaking, and the banker says he's shaking at the thought of giving money to charity.

Banker's offer:
£14,000

Justin says he thinks there's £35,000 in the box, and Mick asks how Jimmy would feel if he dealt and had £35,000 in the box. Jimmy wonders if the banker will up the offer, and Noel says you have to be careful when doing that, but Jimmy says the banker will save £15,000 if he deals at £20,000 and there's £35,000 in the box! The banker rings and says Jimmy doesn't have the guts to go to the end.

Jimmy says
NO DEAL

Jimmy asks what has he done! He says the hospice needs £4 million a year to keep going.

Noel opens Jimmy's box 22 and Jimmy's charity wins £750

Jimmy says this isn't a nice feeling, but he played the game.

Box 19 with Roger contains the £35,000

Jimmy says this is the best rehearsal he's ever done! Noel says it's been fun, and Jimmy's raised awareness of his charity. More info about his charity can be found at http://www.channel4.com/deal

The show ends with Jimmy and the box-openers talking about the game...

Dave's Deal or No Deal Game Report 25/03/12

Dave has box 7. David is a paramedic from Wales, and we get to see a photo of his colleagues. Dave has a pair of comedy glasses with him, and he says he uses them as x-ray glasses in his job!

Dan's Deal or No Deal Game Report 22/03/12

Dan has box 5 today. Daniel Adams, from York, has a ludicrously long-winded job title. He works for Leeds Council, supporting people with mental health to gain confidence through physical activity. He eats 5-6 meals per day, apparently, and spends an awful long time at the gym too. "Clearly you're fit, and I mean that in the physical exercise sense," Noel says, before flirting with Dan's significant other!

We see a photo of him shirtless with his partner on holiday, and the Banker phones up right away to jokingly say that he only bought the pic so we could all see his pecs! Also with him - a child's shoe, his first shoe apparently when he was a baby. He's been involved in two house fires, and this is one of the very few things he has left from his childhood, so that's his lucky charm for the game.

Round 1
Dan says he will keep 22 to the end as it's a significant number in his life. 18 and 12 are also to be kept late to the game.
11 - £3,000 Craig
Dan considers Eugenia with 17. He then applies Mally Logic to ask who had the £250k yesterday.
17 - 50p Eugenia
Dan jokes that Wade looks like Tom Daley on steroids! Noel wants this to be the 1p!
1 - £10,000 Wade
8 - £75,000 Bob
16 - 10p Becky

Banker time...
The Banker's first remarks: "Well, at least he kept his top on!" His partner is likened to Nicole Scherzinger, and there's an awful joke about how if she could sing sitting down she'd be Nicole Chairsinger!

More pertinently, the Banker thinks Dan is an excellent board reader, and thinks that there would be an inquiry if he had the £250k after today's introduction!!

Banker's offer:
£10,010

Dan says that a five-figure offer is always a tempter.

Dan says
NO DEAL

Round 2
4 - £750 Paula
3 - £250,000 Kev
Noel jokes at least this means the show will air tomorrow!
20 - £500 Phyl

Banker time...
Noel talks about the run of low amounts on the table. The Banker talks about how Phyl takes a newspaper into the toilet at the hotel! She can't believe anyone was watching her!!

The Banker says the £250k going makes the £75k hit in round 1 more significant.

Banker's offer:
£5,010

Tutting all round at the offer. Dan points to the mid-red block and suggests that there's "got" to be more than £5,000 at the table (9/14 chance you're wrong, Dan! )

Dan says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Dan has an odd anecdote about taking someone's teeth out accidentally with an ironing board! Dave talks up the prospect of a Power 5 on the table, and Noel compares his stance to a vulture!
13 - £15,000 Dave
6 - £20,000 Joan
12 - £5 - newbie Gemma

Banker time
Noel says that one meant a lot to Dan. The Banker thinks this might be taken...

Banker's offer:
£8,010

Dan says it's very difficult to take the first offer. He sees round 4 as pivotal. Ellie (his girlfriend) says "there's eight blues", then clarifies saying there's "eight low ones" (£1k and £5k count as disposable). Dan considers the possibilities for the next round and the edit is making look like he's given this some thought. Despite having turned down more earlier, he's calling this "the biggest gamble I've ever made".

Dan says
NO DEAL

Round 4
19 - £5,000 Niko
Dodgy camera shot meant we only saw the red at first, not the number!
2 - £100 Kelly
21 and 7 are being considered next. Noel suggests that players haven't been confident lately.
21 - £35,000 Antonia

Banker time
Noel describes the 8-box board as "frightening" given the 5-3 colour balance towards the blues. The Banker's interpretation is that Dan's ethos is "feel the fear and do it anyway".

Banker's offer:
£7,810

Noel muses over the very small drop. Dan wonders if a stick or near-stick suggests it's time to Deal. Maria makes a neutral contribution, and Gemma talks about the regret balance. Dan says he does like to gamble, though of course that's not for these stakes!

Dan says
DEAL

Round 5 (proveout)
7 - 1p Maria
Dan seems at least as annoyed that he'd have got a much better offer picking that in round 4! Dan thinks the offer might have been £13k - the Banker confirms as much.
14 - £1 Jan
9 - £10 Al

Banker time...
Noel can hardly believe that, and takes several seconds of shocked reaction before he can even approach a guilt trip...

Banker's offer would've been:
£20,010

Round 6
10 - £250 Bastian
15 - £50,000 Alan
Dan says he could deal with taking £7,810 when it could have been £20k, but not if there was a possible £40k.
18 - £100,000 Martin

Banker time with £50 and £1,000 remaining...

The Banker is now annoyed...

Banker's offer would've been:
£210

Noel opens Dan's box 5 to reveal £50

Box 22 with Nichola has £1,000

Lucy's Deal or No Deal Game Report 21/03/12

Lucy has box 21 today. Lucy puts her box on the table the wrong way around and takes a while to realise it. Noel has to have a feel of Lucy's shoulder pads. Lucy is from Battersea, London, and is originally from Jamaica. We get to see a picture of Lucy's family. Lucy has her husband in the audience for support and Noel asks if they can cheer him up a bit.

Round 1
Lucy says she wants to get rid of things she doesn't like the look of, and she wants to get rid of all the blues.
8 - £3,000 Martin
2 - 1p Paula
10 - 50p Craig
14 - £100 Nichola
15 - £5 Becky

Banker time
The Banker says what an opening, and couldn't believe how quickly Lucy raced to the pound table once her name appeared on the board.

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Lucy asks if she could have some water, and Noel asks her if she wants public water, or secret water, and Lucy asks for secret water. Lucy gets all mixed up and thinks she is waiting for the offer, and Noel wonders if the water is actually vodka. Noel says this is a great tactic from Lucy by making the Banker thinking he has gone mad and not made an offer.

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Round 2
12 - £75,000 Dan
4 - £50 Kev
9 - £50,000 Jan

That's a good way back says Noel.
5 - £35,000 Joan

Banker time
The Banker says this is a dreadful board if the £250,000 goes.

Banker's offer:
£4,000

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Round 4
11 - £250,000 Alan
What is going on in this place at the moment asks Noel.

£1,000

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Lucy says
NO DEAL

That is shocking says Noel. Sam says that he thinks now he is going to have to go all the way.
1 - £20,000 Dan

7 - £5,000 Maria
12 - £500 Antonia

£40,000

You got a jolt there says Noel, and Damien says that is ridiculous. Damien goes to Keith for some advice, and he tells him that £40,000 is real money. Kirsty says that to win the big money you have to take a chance, but you also have to know when to stop. The Banker calls and says that he knows that when Damien said he would always play on with the top 2 still there he was not playing games, but Damien has another top 2 that are more important than those figures, and those are his 2 children. Damien talks about how the show has the chance to change your life. He talks about how his life has changed so much over the past year, as his fiancee split up with him and he now lives between his work and his parents house, and doesn't see his children as much as he would like, and that offer would change things so much for him.

Damien says
NO DEAL

Noel says this is a very important moment in Damien's life now, and he has had some big changes in his life recently.
