Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Spin that Wheel, and you could take the wheel of an executive car...plus a £10,000 cash fortune!
Today's contestants are:
Umu Zubaru (?): Undergraduate, from Manchester
David McVain: "Rock and roller" from the valleys
Geena Walton: Chocoholic, from Glasgow
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Who will be the "Wheeloholic" to rock and roll this game and graduate to the top prizes? And who will start our game?
Question: What's the name of the scale most commonly used to measure earthquakes?
David: The Richter Scale (Correct!)
The Wheeloholic in all of us would rather avoid the second BANKRUPT and hit the second 1,000 space. The shopaholic might like a 9-karat gold 30-inch box chain, so grab that token on 750 and solve this puzzle!
Question: Name the Scottish scientist and inventor who patented the telephone in 1876.
Umu: Alexander Graham Bell (Correct!)
Mamma mia! We've added a third 1,000 space and doubled the points! And take a look at Carol with a designer fragrance in diamonds! Would you like the token to go on 250? Can you solve this puzzle?
Question: Which pop artist achieved notoriety in the '60s with his paintings of soup cans and (interrupted)
Umu: Andy Warhol (Correct!)
We have faith that you can solve this next puzzle!
Question: Number 10 Downing Street is the official residence of the Prime Minister (interrupted)
David: 11 Downing Street, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (...sure.)
Question: In which battle did Sioux Chief Sitting Bull defeat General (interrupted)
David: The Battle of Little Bighorn (Correct!)
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Well, no sixth round for us. Nicky gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 1,000 doubled!
David: M (2,800)
Geena: T (2,000)
Umu: S (x2) (4,000)
David: L (4,800)
Geena: R (x2) (6,000)
Umu: D (x3) (10,000)
Umu says NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS, which would never fit the top row.
David: W (6,800)
Geena: C (DUD!)
Umu: Y (x2) (14,000)
BONUS ROUND:

Geena solves RICHARD GERE AND CINDY CRAWFORD.
She also has a poem before we listen to Steve:
I said to myself, it's time I get out and had a bit of fun,
so I applied to the game show on TV that's definitely number one,
so pick my brains and test my wits, but don't make it too tricky,
'cause I'd love a spin on that Wheel alongside Carol and Nicky.
Can Steve offer some chocolates as one of our prizes? Let's take a look. We have a ski suit with gloves, the skis and bindings, and a sports CD system with ski boots.
Geena starts with a CD system and boots.
