Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Word on the street is that someone could win a 14-night holiday in Tahiti!
Today's contestants are:
Jillian Tate: Arts conservation officer, also sings and has a jazz trio; from Edinburgh
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000 in a game for nimble-fingered spinners only. There's also some trivia, but at least it's just a load of 50/50 questions.
You'd better not sink the ball in that second BANKRUPT. Instead, try to slow down on the second 1,000 space. Something else to look out for is an electronic organ. We've got a token on 250, and we've got a new puzzle on the board.
We'll need to treat those scores with a third 1,000 space. We could also treat one of our players to some his-and-hers sunglasses. This time, the token goes on 200. We're ready with another puzzle!
Can Sally keep a promise to score a top prize? She has a chance for more points in this round!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
He's ready to read a question, but Nicky must switch to giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth 1,000!
Keith: S (1,000)
Jillian: L (1,000)
BONUS ROUND:
Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

Keith Livington: Fireman, so he needs a cool nerve under pressure; from the West MidlandsJillian Tate: Arts conservation officer, also sings and has a jazz trio; from Edinburgh
Since Jillian is a singer, Nicky talks her into singing. She's shy at first, but she sings "Wheel of Fortune be a lady tonight!" for him.
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000 in a game for nimble-fingered spinners only. There's also some trivia, but at least it's just a load of 50/50 questions.
