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

Another series of wins could be coming, and tonight, someone could choose from...

A flight to the Taj Mahal!
A £4,000 Jackpot!
Or a Suzuki jeep!

Tonight's contestants are:
Liz Frost: Mother of one, does disco dancing (and takes exams for it); from Buckinghamshire
Yunwei Fon (female): Farmer's wife and mother of a bilingual daughter (Welsh is the other language), from West Woods
Trevor Orr: Civil servant who's into sports...and has a bulge in his jacket (it's a holster just for holding money), from Nottingham

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. All you need to do to pass our little exam...is keep spinning. The more you spin, the better your grade.
