Airdate: July 23, 1991

Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

How's this for the colour blue, in the skies for your holiday in the Caribbean?

In what colour would you like your £4,000 Jackpot cheque?

You might have to stick to one colour for your Vauxhall Nova Merit 1.2.

Today's contestants are:

Roy Jones: Father of two who shouts "Woo, woo!" because he's excited to be here; from Leyton in East London
Cathy McGregor: District nurse in Glasgow, and she hasn't been on television...but her wedding dress has; from Greenock
Marilyn (last name not given): Works as an international operator for British Telecom, and has dealt with Americans asking to speak to the Queen or Princess Diana; from Brighton

The top value on the Wheel is a gold 1,000, but look out for that black BANKRUPT and red Lose A Turn. Try for that red Free Spin! Speaking of red...

FOOD and DRINK

Marilyn solves BOILED BEEF AND CARROTS.

Steve's probably hungry, but first, he must introduce Marilyn to the prizes. We have a three-person sauna, a health farm holiday, and a home multi-gym.

Marilyn's prize will be the health farm holiday.

Question Review

Answer: Flies (Wrong!)

That Wheel got a little darker with a second BANKRUPT, so let's brighten it up with a second 1,000 space. Colourful Carol is ready with a soft leather coat and trousers, and our shiny token is ready on 200. The next puzzle is...

Round 2

PHRASE

2,350	650

Before Marilyn's first spin, we see that she's a bit taller, and that's because she's now standing on a box to spin.

PHRASE

Cathy solves SAIL CLOSE TO THE WIND.

We'd rather sail towards these prizes, instead. Cathy has the choice of a tea set with tray and trolley, a crystal bowl and chandelier, or a wooden display cabinet.

No trouble as Cathy's choice is a cabinet.

Suspicion after someone let a third BANKRUPT on the Wheel, but we can add a third 1,000 space for you. Carol would love to give you an 18-karat gold lady's bracelet watch if you can grab the token on 250 and solve our next puzzle.

OCCUPATION

Roy plays it safe and solves MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.

He's also been a good sport, so let's give him a good prize! Would he prefer a children's bunk bed with desk unit, a garden play set including a trampoline, or a portable 10-inch television?

Roy's wife says take the bunk bed.

Question Review

To Marilyn: Is the zodiac sign Libra or Gemini represented by twins?
Answer: Gemini (Correct!)
