Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Today's contestants are:
Jenny Smith: Loves playing goal shooter in netball, from South London
Tony Bradford: Plays golf and drums, and even resembles Ginger Baker from Cream; from Yorkshire
Gill Wilson: Likes driving (and makes Nicky wonder what they say about women drivers), from Surrey
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. So, do you have a feel for the Wheel? It's Jenny's chance to find out!
Your time has run out if you hit that second BANKRUPT, but have a look at our beautiful second 1,000 space! Next is the beautiful Carol who has a self-winding fully automatic camera, while Nicky has a token that goes on 200. We have a new puzzle on the board!
They survived a few rounds, but can they survive a third BANKRUPT space? Long enough to hit the third 1,000 space, and maybe long enough to win an 18-karat gold diamond pin! The token goes on 350, and the puzzle goes up on that board.
Jenny guesses STILL WATERS RUN DRY.
We'll certainly get to the speed round soon, but Jenny has a chance to spin right now!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
We just knew it. Nicky will now give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth 750.
Tony: S (2,050)
Gill: D (DUD!)
Jenny: B (750)
Tony: R (x3) (4,300)
BONUS ROUND:
SNTRLE is almost everything he needs.
Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Our prizes will turn some heads, and that includes a holiday in Singapore and Bangkok and more!
With a £4,000 Jackpot, you might look around for more ways to spend it!
Or you might have a feel for a Vauxhall Nova Merit 1.2!
