was that the old lady with bad arthritis? how much did she win
Frank
Yes it was the old lady with Arthritis. It wasn't what she won, more how she did it. It was a classic show for many reasons, mainly her charming personality - but it was also unique.
If you haven't time to watch the 9 minute summary below, then there is my version in the spoiler below that..
Spoiler:
For the first time ever, after hinting she was going to deal at £20,000 at the 5 box stage because her son was out of work and needed the money she accidentally said "No deal".
There were still 2 blues and £35,000, £50,000 and £75,000 boxes in the game.
A stunned Noel rang the banker who agreed she was allowed to be asked the question again. This time she replied " Well I'm going to give exactly the same answer as last time because I believe in Fate".......... "No Deal !"
She continued and removed the last remaining blues to be left with either £50,000 or £75,000 in her box. She was offered £60,000 but then said "Ask the banker if he has the courage to let me swap boxes".
The Banker said she could, so she declined the offer and the boxes were swopped.
Then they opened her box to reveal £75,000 ! The house erupted -it was such a feelgood game.
