Noel welcomes us to Wednesday in the dream factory, and he promises that things will be different today and the big wins will return!
It’s Julian’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he has box 3 today. He asks if he can do one thing before he talks to Noel and he rushes off to give his wife Myra a kiss in the audience. He's been married for 25 years and has 5 children, he tells Noel he is a big family man and has a large extended family. Hope that the banker doesn't play on this with emotional twists to his offers!!!!
Round 1
Julian picks newbie Tess first, and then changes his mind, but does go to her in the end!

18 - £1 More cheers
This is the bit he's been waiting for says Julian, he thinks that the banker hates him!!
But he wants to give him a game... The banker says that Julian is the only man on earth in competition with his own shirts! I thought Noel would be in that competition as well!! The banker has a certificate of valour for Julian which Noel reads out, Julian is now to be known as "The windbag of the west wing"!!! The banker then offers £1… Noel reveals that there is £15,000 in front of it after a LONG pause. So the offer is £15,001, Julian says
NO DEAL
Round 2
Julian says he is really enjoying this and it's great fun, Noel tells him to get on with it!
17 - £10 Big cheers and shouts
8 - £10,000
Noel asks why is so difficult once in the crazy chair, Julian says it's because you have to open more than one box unlike while on the wings. Julian's wife tells Noel that she gives him a kick in the foot to shut Julian up when he rambles on!! Noel then tries this out!!
Julian goes to Rich, our worst predictor ever says Noel!! Rich says he thinks he has the 1p.
7 - 50p Very close Rich Still not got one right yet though....
The banker asks if Julian is really 60 and asks if he was pickled when he was younger!! He then offers £1 with £22,000 in front, £22,001… Julian's wife Myra says that there is at least one more round in the game. Julian says
NO DEAL

As Noel answers the phone he sneezes and says it's the first time he's done that on TV!!! The Banker offers £26,001, Noel says that the banker is starting to use his games now, but Julian says that £26,000 is not enough with the board the way it is at the moment. Julian says

Julian says he would have liked to keep that one, but he still has some big money in play. The banker says that was a help to him there, he is going to reward Julian's honesty and admits that he has never struggled so hard in trying to produce an offer. He makes an offer of £30,001… Myra joins Julian at the pound table for support. He asks Gus what he would do, he says he would play on until the end with that board. Julian says it's a very significant sum of money, but
