    Well yeah, but its not about the game - no one really cares about if the player wins 1p or 100k - its all about noel!

    Thats why the USA version is full of scantily clad ladies - the game itself is rubbish, but you need something to keep people interested..I think we have the better deal wtih noel myself tho

    The annoying thing is that the £250,000 will never be won. It's virtually statistically impossible. Because not only will they need the 250k in their box, but they would also HAVE to have the 100k as the last on the screen as well.

    Noel is a complete tool, but he is an entertaining David Brent type prat. We are laughing at you Noel, not with you mate

    Hehe, good story about that. Apparently at least once every episode one of the models will fall over and drop their box, at which point the whole show has to start again and all the boxes have to go back into the secure room to be randomised. The whole process takes about 2 hours to get going again!

    Why the 100k on the last screen as well? Also doesn't the banker offer a swap when down to the last 2 boxes? So you could get the 250k by not finding it during the game then swaping your box for it?

    What annoys me is Noels attempts to make it sound stratagic. Say what you want Noel, all they can do is shout 3 numbers and see what happens.

    Either way, the last two numbers you would have to end up with are the 250k and 100k.

    Why? Because if you had the 75k and the 250k you would get an offer of say £120-150k(ish) Most sane people would take that offer.

    But i guess It all depends on how the banker played it - does the banker want to offer a deal they would have to turn down in the hope of them actually risking it going all the way to £250k? Because that would make good television and the odd £250 winner would help the ratings. I guess it really all depends on a whether the banker (producer) actually plays like someone in that situation would really do, or if they are trying to make good telly.

    A couple of times people have already took the gamble with the 75 and 250 as the last boxes, they just didn't have the 250 in there box. It will definately be won by someone brave enough. I heard a rumour that it has already been won but will be screened in the new year.

    I remember Kirsty did that. Also since there are 2 on christmas day and 2 on boxing day, I was thinking maybe a 250k winner will be shown then, although one of the Christmas day ones is with £500,000 instead of 250, should be interesting.

    Haven't a few people won 250k already, they just haven't shown it yet?

    I used to watch this at Uni - fantastic when the people who are "convinced" they have the 250k ending up with a fiver.

    And no, of course it's not greed Noel, it's "COURAGE".....

    Right....
