Iain's game today.

Noel says unfortunately we didn't get to rub the magic lamp, but today we will give it a good seeing too! He runs through all the twists we missed out on.


Christmas Panto Specials twist:

The magic lamp in the studio will either make the player's wish come true, or the banker's wish come true. When the player gets to 5-box, they choose one of 3 doors in the lamp's smoke. 1 door has the banker's wish behind it, but 2 doors have the player's wish behind it. If the player's wish comes true, the player can either advance one box at a time after 5-box, win a holiday or choose a present from the Christmas tree. One present has a pair of the banker's pants in it and the other one has £5,000. If the banker gets his wish come true, then he'll look in the player's box.

Iain has box 22 today.

Iain is a self-employed plasterer, he has his partner in the audience for support today, and she says that she pulled Iain in a pub. We get to see a picture of Iain's mum and dad, and another of Iain's partner with their VERY large dog.

Iain says 22 means nothing to him.

Twist time

Christmas Panto Specials twist:

The magic lamp in the studio will either make the player's wish come true, or the banker's wish come true. When the player gets to 5-box, they choose one of 3 doors in the lamp's smoke. 1 door has the banker's wish behind it, but 2 doors have the player's wish behind it. If the player's wish comes true, the player can either advance one box at a time after 5-box, win a holiday or choose a present from the Christmas tree. One present has a pair of the banker's pants in it and the other one has £5,000. If the banker gets his wish come true, then he'll look in the player's box.

Iain has to choose the red, green or blue door in the smoke from the genie's lamp. Iain rubs the lamp and chooses the red door.

Noel opens it and reveals Player's wish

The Blue door is the Banker's wish, and the green door is the player's wish

Iain now chooses his wish and decides to do the 50/50 for £5,000, which he will do at the end of the show.
