Airdate: July 26*, 1988 (Series 1, Episode 2) (* If not the 26th, then the week of July 24-30)

Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

One of our contestants could win any of these prizes:

"Savour the flavours of the east" on a holiday in India!
Will you choose the £3,000 Jackpot?
Or...maybe you could drive home in a Renault 5 hatchback car!

Tonight's contestants are:
Mike Dale: Works as a fitter/turner for British Steel; from Newbridge, Wales
Amanda Joseph: Mother of one; from Stanmore, Middlesex
Wendy Prosser: Runs a fish & chips shop with her husband; from Exeter, Devon

Just before taping, Nicky found out that Amanda once won £65 on a radio show that he did. It's a small world...and a small prize.

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. That will help you win something bigger than just £65.
