Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Score the gold and you could finish with a ski trip in Denver, Colorado!
Perhaps a flurry of notes with a £4,000 Jackpot?
Or you could try driving uphill in a Vauxhall Nova 3-door Hatchback!
Today's contestants are:
Jill Rider: Mother of two who also runs a pub in Birmingham
Michelle (last name not given): Single with a look you can't refuse, and writes songs with a pop music group; from Congleton in Cheshire
Steve Elstov (?): 29-year old father of one, and a bit of a ladies' man as he blows a kiss to his girlfriend; from Raunds in Northamptonshire
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Try not to wipe out with a bad spin, because with our trivia questions...would you ever get up again?
Don't get rejected by hitting that second BANKRUPT on the Wheel. Why not enjoy a good date with the second 1,000 space? And why not take home an 18-karat gold and diamond ring? We've put the token on 200 and prepared another puzzle.
To help you steam towards the finals, there's a third 1,000 space on the Wheel! On the way, you could take a 6-piece picnic hamper with rug. There's a token on 200, and there's a new puzzle on the board.
We really need to start our speed round! Nicky gives the Wheel a final spin, and consonants will be worth 300. Jill starts.
Jill: R (DUD!)
Michelle: T (DUD!)
Steve: S (300)
Jill: B (DUD!)
Michelle: N (300)
Steve: L (x2) (900)
Jill: P (DUD!)
Michelle: F (600)
Steve: K (DUD!)
Jill: H (300)
BONUS ROUND:
Steve's the one flying to the final puzzle, and he's going to play for a bigger prize!
