Airdate: April 4, 1991
Exciting prizes just waiting to be won, including...
Royal Doulton gold-banded dinnerware/china ($5,124)
Ski holiday for 4 to Falls Creek ($7,222)
Nova Hatch ($17,240)
It's the greatest Wheel around, Wheel of Fortune!
This time, Adriana is wearing blue and yellow stripes. Burgo comments on how the producer had a heart of gold...but yesterday, his chest turned green. Everyone groans at that one.
Today's contestants:
Mark Pajich (returning with a total of $3,800)
Debbie Brent: Domestic affairs officer, once mistaken for Fergie and liked to play Lady Macbeth on the London stage; from East Malvern
Denis Murphy: Grazier and grandfather of seven and a fan of David Hookes, from South Australia
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $400, and Burgo's expecting a battle, so we'll see what happens in this first round.
Debbie solves SHOOTING STAR.
The top dollar-value on the Wheel is now $750.
Debbie reads what's on the board.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is up to $2,000, and Denis shall return from the emptiness.
Again, Mark plays it safe, solving FROM A DISTANCE. This secures his win, as that was our last puzzle.
BONUS ROUND:
We add 3,895 to his current 1,960 to boost him to 5,855 (just short again), so now he'll get four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Royal Doulton gold-banded dinnerware/china ($5,124)
Another final puzzle for him. He knows what he has to do.
