Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Somebody could win a holiday in Canada!
But a £3,000 Jackpot sounds nice, eh?
How about a Renault 5 hatchback car?
Tonight's contestants are:
John Reed: Father of two who also has one horse, from Stanton, Suffolk
Richard Brook: Engineer for an electrical motor firm, from West Yorkshire
Leigh Haywood: Local government officer and football player; from Paignton, Devon
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Who's going to score the first goal with this puzzle?
We've cleaned up, and now it's time for the speed game!
Nicky will give the Wheel a spin! Consonants are worth 250, and John will begin.
John: L (x3) (750)
Richard: S (250)
Leigh: M (250)
John: R (x2) (1,250) (He seems to figure out the answer after time runs out.)
Richard: D (x2) (750)
BONUS ROUND:
She hasn't got a clue, and she does not solve BAGHDAD. Leigh still leaves with the tent, the dinner service, and the souvenir watch.
