Can anyone please tell me what happened at the end of Sunday's episode? (3/8) the chap got the star counter right on the edge and decided to trade and......my recording ran out!

My Mother who has a completely different machine from me had exactly the same problem in exactly the same place in the recording.

It's not on ITV Catchup and, although it's not a really big deal, we would, kind of, like to know what happened. Thanks
My recorder stopped too..stupid ITV ! Just as he was going to put his three counters in to see if he would have won the jackpot. Would he have won it? I think he accepted £2500.

That's what happened last night. I sometimes get cross when they take a gamble for the £10,000 and are just being greedy, but I thought that last night the chap was being over cautious when he didn't gamble. Still, for some people £2,500 is an awful lot of money and he was going to take his grand child(ren) to Disneyland.

My hubs watched it and said that he won the ten grand. He also said that he would also have taken the trade. Hope this answers your query.xx
Thanks for that

This doesn't show whether they would have won the jackpot or not. If they were going for the jackpot the drops would be different, it's a bit of fun trying the extra 3 goes but doesn't prove anything.

There is a joke in there somewhere


It is very addictive and annoying.

What annoys me about the show is when contestants say "I think I'll go for drop zone..." and then drop the counter. That's not thinking - that's doing (no thinking time).

Unless there has been some serious "thinking time" edited out

I don't understand why they do this. They very consistently get the counter to stand on it's edge making it more likely to ride, to do this they must be deliberately pressing the button at the time for this to happen. Why do they do this and then complain about being unlucky when it rides?

Why not? I didn't see that particular show so I didn't see the woman.
How old was she? If they all had their first baby at 19, that would make her 76+
If they all had their first baby at 16, that would make her 64+ Perfectly possible.

14 counter drop!

Scores went from 750 - 1400 to 1550 - 1400. Sue was unlucky, she didn't have any questions she knew.

He's racking up the money. Even if he doesn't get the jackpot, no way he's gambling.
