UK - Series 12 (Matthew/Nicola/David) recap

Airdate: Unknown (sometime in 2000)

Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune. Today's contestants are:

Matthew Weslick: Manages a petrol station, from North Devon
Nicola Field: Loves shopping, from Newcastle
David Gallagher: Enjoys driving, from Paisley

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, and maybe you can strike it rich. Not from black stuff, but you'll keep in the black with a £100 Cashpot. We'll start Round 1 when somebody buzzes in:

Question: Complete the following phrase - "An apple a day..."
Matthew: "...keeps the doctor away." (Correct!)


Matthew solves CLEAR AS CRYSTAL to clear out John's pockets.

As hard as he tries, the showcase will never be empty. We have plenty of each prize, including a refrigerator/freezer.

Matthew will take it!


There's an extra BANKRUPT that could lead to a crash, but an extra 1,000 should keep you in the right direction. Something else that might help? A mystery prize which will be placed on 400.


Question: Who starred as the horse whisperer in the film of the same name?
David: Robert Redford (Correct!)


Matthew solves MINNIE DRIVER AN IDEAL HUSBAND.

There are some ideal prizes for our contestants right here. One that David might want is a mini Hi-Fi system.

David wants the microwave.


High speed is alright here with a third 1,000 space and double the points! We have a £100 bonus to go with this puzzle:

(Due to a footage cutoff, the question and whoever started the round is unknown, but it's Nicola's turn and there are no letters on the board.)


Matthew solves CHIROPODIST.

There's another £100 in John's pocket. Can Matthew snatch that too?

He gives the correct answer right away, which is COLD FEET.

Another look at the available prizes. We'll show him a fragrance and make-up package possibly for the wife.

Again, Matthew will take it!


Another puzzle is ready for the trio:

Question: In the Rugby union, how many players are there in a team?
Matthew: 15 (Correct!)


Matthew solves PAN FRIED LEMON SOLE. We must part now.

But still we must let Matthew pick one more prize. At this rate, he's taking a mountain bike.

We see that he takes the television.


Nicola didn't get too many chances thanks to her right. However, all contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.





£2,000 BONUS ROUND:

Many prizes and plenty of cash, but he can try for the best with this final puzzle:

For Matthew, the choices are RDSLTA:

He gets DAVID, but he does not solve DAVID HOCKNEY. Even so, he has plenty of prizes already.
