Noel goes along the east wing to talk about 4 people who have dreams, Cal would like a string of bars all over the world, Sarah would like a new bathroom, and newbie Owain would like to open his box without problems

Sharna has box 9 today. Sharna is from London and is an admin in customer services, but she loves entertaining and singing... We get to see a few of Sharna's photos, she shows a picture of her partner who died a few years ago and explains how she got over his death and deals with it now. She would love to win enough money to take all her friends to Miami.

Sharna says she isn't really a gambler, only played the lottery a few times...

Banker's offer:
£8,800


Sharna says
NO DEAL

Round 2
Sharna was going to choose box 3 as it was glowing, but it doesn't look as though it is glowing now! Noel says that is because the light isn't shining on Hassan's head now

20 - 50p Nicholas

Oh my goodness goes Sharna.... The Banker says the £35,000 going was his ray of sunshine... The Banker says that Sharna is siezed by the moment, and she has a faraway look in her eyes, he is unsettled by this.

Banker time
The Banker says it feels a long time since he has looked at a board like this as everyone has been unlucky recently. He says that Sharna is in a position at the moment where she can't get a peanuts offer in the next round should she play on.

Banker's offer:
£20,000


Roy says he would deal here, and looking at the board it is quite scarey! Sharna says that one of her friends told her not to be greedy, and Noel asks where the line is between greed and ambition. The Banker calls back and tells Sharna not to be greedy... He says that if Sharna has an all-blue round the next offer will be over £50,000...

Sharna thinks about things again and runs through the different scenarios should she play on.

Sharna says

That is fine at this stage says Noel. Sharna is finally going with box 22, although Noel doesn't like it!

This is scarey now says Sharna... The Banker says that this board is now built for a gambler, and would normally slash the offer in half now...

Ginette's daughter says that is a great offer and will do everything she wants to do, and if she takes out the top 2 amounts on the board she will struggle then, she then joins Ginette at the pound table and talks about how Ginette has always wanted to be on the show.

The Banker calls back and says that if Ginette plays on and has an all-blue round the next offer will be £30,000. Noel tells Ginette to take her time and think about this decision and then runs through the different scenarios that could play out if she played on...
