Paul's Deal or No Deal Game Report 16/01/12

Paul has Box 4. Paul Pocock is an accounts student from Washington, Tyne & Wear. He tells of how he went down with meningitis in his youth and was told he'd have to have his legs amputated; he ended up having both his legs amputated below the knee, along with a bit of his fingers. Noel says he will have inspired many with his story.

He has a picture of his son and step-daughter, and would like to do something for them; he has his partner in the audience. He also has a replica box with him, which he'd like Noel to open later.

Round 1
Box 22 with Dale - £50
Death box turns out to be badly named, says Noel.
Box 13 with Renee - £500
Paul considers Box 14 with newbie Cynthia, but changes his mind. Noel says Cynthia wiggles her bum!
Box 12 with Wendy - £5
Box 1 with Rich - £20,000
Box 5 with Snowy - £1,000

Banker time...
The Banker says he thought Paul would be trouble from the moment he arrived, until he heard his story. He says he spied on Paul in the hotel, and saw him drink beer from his leg!

Banker's offer:
£14,500

That is the biggest opening offer for months, says Noel.

Paul says:
NO DEAL

Round 2
Box 17 with Lily - 1p
Noel says Lily has had that before!
Box 20 with Leo - £15,000
Box 10 with Brian - £250

Banker time...
Noel says the Banker is crying! He's wondering if Box 9, the number on Paul's mini box, has something to do with Alan Shearer, who went to see Paul in hospital.

Banker's offer:
£19,999

Paul says:
NO DEAL

Round 3
Box 6 with Michael - £1
Oh my word, says Noel.
Box 15 with Helen - £50,000
Still a very, very strong game, says Noel.
Box 21 with Belinda - £35,000

Banker time...
You've given him hope, says Noel. The Banker says that was not enough relief.

Banker's offer:
£21,000

Noel says he cannot recall the offer going up after two of the Power 5 in these circumstances. Paul gets advice from his partner, and the wings.

Paul says:
NO DEAL
Round 4
Paul says it's time to open the mini-box. Noel opens it to reveal £250,000 written on the lid, along with a good luck stone, a good luck note, and some confetti!
Box 16 with Jodi - £10
Can't take them all, says Paul.
Box 18 with Chris - 10p
Box 19 with Bekki - £3,000

Banker time...
The Banker cries down the phone!

Banker's offer:
£26,000

Noel then says the offer is actually...

Banker's offer:
£30,000

Paul talks about what he could do with the money, and gets emotional.

Paul says:
NO DEAL

Round 5
Noel says Paul is totally focussed.
Box 2 with Giuliana - 50p
The perfect start, says Noel. The wingers start banging the table!
Box 8 with Greg - £750
Just one more, says Noel.
Box 3 with Robbie - £5,000

Banker time...
Noel asks if the Banker is still there! The Banker says, when Paul was in hospital, he clinically died three times.

Banker's offer:
£70,000

Paul says he still has the top three. His partner and some of the wingers tell him to stop. His partner says he'll regret the drop, and tells him not to chase the boxes. Paul says, if he dealt, and had the £250,000, he'd have more regrets than if he left with a blue.

Paul says:
DEAL

Round 6 - proveout round
Noel says Paul wanted to play on.
Box 11 with David - £10,000
Noel berates the pilgrims for clapping that!
Box 14 with newbie Cynthia - £75,000
Noel gets even more irate!
Box 7 with Carland - £100,000

Banker time with £100 and £250,000 remaining...

This will be uncomfortable, says Noel.

Banker's offer would've been:
£100,000

Noel reveals £250,000 in Paul's Box 4!

Paul starts crying, saying he knew he should have gone on.

Box 9 with Irene contains £100.

Paul says he felt like it was his day. Noel says Paul will beat himself up, but he still has £70,000.
