Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Spin a winner, and decide what happens next:
Will you spend a holiday at the Coral Islands in the Maldives?
You might take the £3,000 Jackpot!
Or you could drive home in a Fiat Panda car!
Tonight's contestants are:
Gwyneth Martin: Has a large family and works in a quarry, from Lancashire
Rick (last name not given): Single father and grandfather (and a frog breeder), from Howell
Janice Scotlodge: From Cromarty, "just about the prettiest and friendliest town" in Scotland
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. It might not be as pretty as Cromarty, but you'll still love to spin some big points! Time to play!
No question about it! We're near the end and move into our speed game!
Nicky will give the Wheel a spin! Consonants are worth 400, and Gwyneth will start.

Rick: H (x2) (800)
