Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Someone could win:
A holiday in Hawaii
A £4,000 Jackpot
Or a Nova 1.2 4-door Saloon in metallic grey
Today's contestants are:
Tyrone Dewey: Engaged and from East London (originally from West London), wants to put the Jackpot towards a big wedding
Yvonne (last name not given): "Domestic engineer" (a housewife), likes weight training and even flashes her biceps
Julie Conwell: 28-year old wife and mother of one boy, works part-time at a local hospital
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Look out for those biceps, or you might just lose consciousness, but once you pick a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
We knew you were hungry for more points, so we've added a third 1,000 space to the Wheel! Another prize is coming, and it's a 6-diamond 9-karat gold ring. Our new star is going on 300, and our new puzzle is over there.
Let's throw in another puzzle and move on to our speed round. Nicky gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 750. Tyrone is still playing!
Tyrone: N (DUD!)
Yvonne: T (x2) (1,500)
Julie: R (x2) (1,500)
BONUS ROUND:
However, Yvonne's day is not yet finished. She's made it to the end of the game, and she can choose from:
