Noel welcomes us all to another day at the dream factory. He runs through Joyce's game yesterday, and tells us how Joyce went on despite nearly getting offered her target at one point, and how it proved a good decision in the end. He does warn the contestants not to concentrate too much on their targets...
It’s Barry’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he does so with box 8. Barry asks if he can wear his glasses and Noel says of course, as it adds comedy value!!! Noel then takes the glasses and disappears off stage to do a repair on the glasses, we hear some banging and he returns with them straightened. Noel then tells us there is a special offer this week, of a 2-4-1 deal!! Barry introduces us to his daughter who is in the audience for support today. Noel asks Barry if it's all his own hair, and Barry replies of course it is, and he has it permed as it helps to keep all his dandruff in!!

3 - £75,000 Groans for that one
The banker says he can see a new dandruff campaign, ‘don't take 2 bottles into the shower, have a perm!!’ The banker also has a gift for Barry, and it’s a multicoloured bow-tie, pointed hat and red nose!! He now looks like a clown!! The Banker then offers £9,993, Barry has a feel of his box and says
NO DEAL

That round hasn't changed the belief that the £250,000 is in box 8 says Noel, and he then tells the banker that Barry will be the first male £250,000 winner. The Banker offers £26,000. Barry goes to Jackie who says it is a very good offer and if the £250,000 goes, he won't see that offer again.
