Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Today's contestants are:
Phil Stiles: Got married in Vegas
Vivian Hoffelton: Works for a local radio station
Stephen Davis: Also likes Vegas and has seen 126 musicals

Question: The rather alternative chat show host Sacha Baron Cohen is better known by what other (interrupted)
Question: What is the name of the female villain in the book and film One Hundred and One Dalmatians?

We've still got another puzzle ahead, and the points remain doubled!
Question: In the game of Chess, what does the castle also (interrupted)

Perfection! Stephen solves EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY. It's almost bedtime.

Phil solves JULIA ROBERTS AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS and wins the £100 prize.

Phil wants the TV and video combo.

Be careful, as the second BANKRUPT carries a huge penalty with it, but the extra 1,000 space is a nice bonus!
How about a Christmas present, our Mystery Prize? The token will be placed on 750, and the prize may be yours if you can solve this puzzle:

Complete silence. Paul is a scrooge after all, and Phil does not solve NIGEL KENNEDY.

Perfection! Stephen solves EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY. It's almost bedtime.
But now it's time for Stephen to celebrate with a prize of his own. He might like a champagne/drink collection!

Phil's score is accidentally displayed as 4,150 at the end, though it doesn't really matter.
It's bah humbug for Vivian, but let's not forget that all contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.
BONUS ROUND:
After some bad luck, Stephen is the winner! He could also take the £2,000 prize!
All he needs to do is solve one last puzzle...

He couldn't figure out the first word. He does not solve JULIETTE BINOCHE.
Stephen will still be receiving a kiss from Terri! He also takes home the microwave and the souvenir watch.
And this is where the show ends, unless it comes back in the future. Paul suggested there would be another series, but it didn't happen.
