This popped up in my recommendations on YouTube. I was intrigigued by it, so I watched it, and decided to recap it.
OAD: 14th March 1997
Wheel of Fortune! With Bradley Walsh and Jenny Powell!"
Bradley: We've scrubbed down Jenny, polished up our contestants, and we've given the audience garlic tablets! That way we know they're still breathing! Tell us what's on offer tonight Steve!
Steve: As always, Brad, we've got that fabulous jackpot of £20,000, OR will it be the ideal family vehicle? This 1300 5-door saloon?
Here are today's contestants!
Joe Thomas from Cheltenham enjoys wine tasting, and is looking for a bubbly preformance tonight!
Joey Simpson from London is a skydiver who's been in a spin before!
Linda Thomas is a civil servant, who will be even more civil if she happens to win tonight on the Wheel of Fortune!
Cashpot Round: Television
/ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _
/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
(Just to clarify, Bradley notes that this is a 5-word TV show. Also, one letter is tied to a "Cashpot", meaning if that letter is picked, the contestant has the right to solve the puzzle right away for extra money.)
To see who goes first, Bradley reads a question, and whoever answers correctly goes first.
Question: What name did Madonna give to her baby girl?
HONK!
Joe correctly identifies the name LOURDES and will start the round. She starts by hitting the Free Spin wedge, giving her a Free Spin! She then calls 1 N worth 400, 500 from 2 T's from 250, 800 from 2 R's on 400, but hits the BANKRUPT. However, she uses the Free Spin to keep going. She then gets 750 from a D, 1000 from a C, but has to LOSE A TURN.
/ _ _ / _ R _ N D
T _ R _ _ _ _ / T _ _
/ C _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Joey gets 500 from a J, 150 from a B... and it's the CASHPOT! If he solves it, he gets £100.
/ J _ / B R _ N D
T _ R _ _ _ _ / T _ _
/ C _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He correctly solves JO BRAND THROUGH THE CAKEHOLE for 650 points, £100, and he gets to choose between a crystal decanter with glasses, a country break in France, or a bookcase. He chooses the the decanter and glasses.
Round 1 Totals
Joe: 1750 points*
Joey: 650 points (£100 + Crystal)

Round 1 Events
Joe: BANKRUPT, 1700 lost, LOSE A TURN

Linda:
*I got confused with this when they announced the scores in Round 2, but appearently any points you end a round with, you keep. So, since Joe had 1750 points at the end of Round 1, I guess it still stayed, despite her not solving the puzzle.
The wheel now gets an extra BANKRUPT, 1000, and Jenny's prize: A designer scarf and belt. Jenny decides that the prize will be placed on the 900, much different than the structure of the same place for everything in today's WOF.
Round 2: Phrase
_ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
/ / _ _ _ _ _
Question: In sports, how many events are there competed in the dacathalon?
HONK!
Joe knows it is TEN. She starts round two with 500 from an N, 800 from 2 T's on 400, 600 from a B, 250 from a D, and lands on Jenny's Prize! She also gets 900 from a C, and gets another Free Spin. She then gets 250 from an H, 450 from an R, but duds with a Y on 400. She uses her Free Spin, and banks 900 from an L, but duds with an F on 400.
_ / _ _ T C H _ D
_ _ T / N _ _ _ R
/ / B _ _ L _
Joey duds with an M on 1000.
Linda, who finally gets to spin, duds with a G on 200.
Joe gets 600 from an S, 300 from a W for water...
_ / W _ T C H _ D
_ _ T / N _ _ _ R
/ / B _ _ L S
...and knows A WATCHED POT NEVER BOILS for 5550 points. After being asked about an embarressing moment she came in for a kiss on a date, but got her hair stuck in a candle fire, she gets to choose between a pine dresser, a trip to Paris, or pans and pots. She chooses the holiday to Paris.
Round 2 Totals
Joe: 7300 points (Scarf & Belt + Paris)
Joey: 650 points (£100 + Crystal)
Linda:
Round 2 Events
Joe: Dud Y, Dud F
Joey: Dud M
Linda: Dud G
Hey, there's now a third 1000, and another Jenny's Prize: a necklace and bracelet. The host asks Linda where she wants it, and the prize is then placed on 400. It's also time for Bradley's Box, a mystery prize placed on the 200.
Round 3: Star/Movie
_ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
/ / / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Also, points are doubled. From here on out, I will note in the recap the doubled points automatically, so I would designate that Jenny's prize is on the 800 and Brad's Box on 400.
Question: Who is the the youngest child of Queen Elizabeth II?
HONK!
Linda knows it's EDWARD and gets her go at the wheel. She gets 600 from an R, 1400 from an N, 2000 from an L, but loses her 4000 from the BANKRUPT
_ L / _ _ _ _ N _
/ / / _ _ _

Joe gets 2000 from a P, 1200 from a C, 2000 from 2 T's on 1000...
_ L / P _ C _ N _
/ / / T _ _
_ _ _ _ _ T _ _ R
...and solves AL PACHINO THE GODFATHER for 5200 points! After telling a story that Jeremy Clarkson bought a toilet seat from her sister in law, she got to choose between: Dinner service, a bunch of cantina cutlery, or a hostess trolley. She opts for the cutlery.
Round 3 Totals

Question: Who was the last British monarch to marry while on the throne? (As Bradley cracks up, saying it would make good telly)
HONK!
Joe correctly identifies QUEEN VICTORIA to start out. She gets 800 from an N, but duds with a D on 900
BLIP! BLIP! BLIP! BLIP!
It's time for the speed round! Each consonant is worth 1400
_ _ _ _ _ _ N
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
Joey: No S
Linda: 1 T
Joe: No B
Joey: 1 P
Linda: 1 H
_ H _ _ _ _ N

P _ T _
Holy cow Linda, with only four letters, I wouldn't have even been close to eating CHICKEN LIVER PATE! Well, with 2800 points, she isn't going to win, but she does get to choose between a unit with desk, a LAPTOP COMPUTER WITH PRINTER IN 1997, or a trip to Barcelona. She picks the laptop computer.
Final Totals
Joe: 12500 points (Scarf & Belt + Paris + Cutlery) WINNER!
Joey: 2050 points (£100 + Crystal)
Linda: 2800 points (Laptop)
Joey and Linda will also be recieving the Wheel of Fortune computer game and a watch. (It's more of the U.S. handheld game, but whatever)
Bonus Round:
Linda is given two envelopes. She chooses one, and it is revealed that she is playing for the car.
The final category is FAMOUS PERSON:
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Joe's CLNRS E gives her:
_ _ N _ L _
_ R _ _ _
Joe has absolutely nothing. However, I'd argue that DONALD TRUMP is a more famous person nowadays than 20 years ago.
There's some clever wordplay with a nightcap at the end, but besides that, that's the game!
