Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Someone's in for a good time tonight! We can't wait to give away...
A holiday in China including a trip to Hong Kong!
"Scoot with the loot" with a £4,000 Jackpot!
Or drive away in a 1.3-litre Kia Pride!
Tonight's contestants are:
Lisa: Mother of three, from Newmarket
Richard: Coach driver, from St. Ives, Cornwall
Zaida: Secretary for a carpet firm, from Nelson, Lancashire
(No last names are ever given.)
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Are you ready for that good time? We want to see some spinning!
To make sure you have time to spin, we've changed the question system. A trivia question will be asked only at the start of the round, and the first person to buzz in with a correct answer is the first to spin.
Question: Who presented the first programme on Radio One?
Lisa: Tony Blackburn (Correct!)
Question: Who played James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service?
Richard: George Lazenby (Correct!)
Question: Who was the Greek goddess of love?
Richard: Aphrodite (Correct!)
Points are still doubled for this round, but since we don't have much time, we'll have to play a speed game!
Nicky will give the Wheel a spin! Consonants are worth 150 doubled, and the person to buzz in with a correct answer will start.
Question: How many masts are there in a ketch-rigged yacht?
Richard: 3 (Wrong!)
Zaida: 4 (Wrong!)
Lisa: 2 (Correct!) (She answers without buzzing in.)
Lisa: R (DUD!)
Richard: N (300)
Zaida: S (x2) (600)
Lisa: T (x2) (600)
Richard: H (DUD!)
Zaida: M (900)
Lisa: W (DUD!)
Richard: B (600)
Zaida: P (1,200)
Lisa: G (900)
All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.
BONUS ROUND:
He might have known it, as he instantly solves HYDE PARK CORNER to keep the car! He leaves with that, the earrings, the TV and video package, and the souvenir watch.

Things will go well unless you crash into that second BANKRUPT. Instead, you'll want to Wheel towards the second 1,000 space. Perhaps a prize would interest you?
We add a pair of 18-karat gold earrings! As usual, you'll have to hit the PRIZE token, placed on 300. Solve the puzzle, and you get to keep the earrings.

Even better? From now on, we're doubling the point values for this round! That 1,000 is really a 2,000 space!
We'll also add a pair of wool designer sweaters as an extra prize! (Oddly, Nicky forgets to place a PRIZE token on the Wheel.)
