UK - May 25, 1992 recap

Airdate: May 25, 1992

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

The skies are blue, especially for you, on a Western USA holiday!
Today's contestants are:

Chrissy (last name not given): Mother of two who writes children's stories and has even parachuted for charity, from Seaford in Sussex
Mike Martin: A "fine figure" who spends a lot of time in the gym (The other two contestants want him!), from South London
Sandra (last name not given): Mother of one and a housebuilder, and her husband likes weight training; from Barnard Castle in County Durham

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Good thing there's no blue BANKRUPT on the Wheel, so you won't mistake it for something good in our first round:


Question: What are arachnophobics?
Chrissy: Spiders (Accepted.) (terrified of spiders)

---

That second BANKRUPT is blacker than Batman, and you don't want that second 1,000 to get away! No tricks here when we add a set of solid silver earrings, bracelet, and necklace, with a token on 200. Buzz in to our riddle to start our next round:


Question: Which nationality was the fictional detective Hercule Poirot?
Chrissy: French (Wrong!)
Sandra: Belgian (Correct!)

---

Back to a game where you do want a higher score. We've added a third 1,000 space, and we've also doubled the values! For a bonus, how about an Italian designer perfume in a bottle? We place the token on 450 and look at the next puzzle:


Question: What unusual feature did the mythical giant the Cyclops have?
Mike: He had the one eye on the forehead. (Correct!)

---

But we must be very careful with the clock, so Nicky will give the Wheel one last spin. Consonants are worth 1,000 doubled, and now you must buzz in for control.

Question: Which Monty Python star went around the world in 80 days?
Chrissy: Michael Palin (Correct!)

Chrissy: T (x3) (6,000)
Mike: M (DUD!)
Sandra: H (2,000)
Chrissy: R (8,000)
Mike: N (DUD!)
Sandra: G (DUD!)
Chrissy: W (10,000)
Mike: P (2,000)











BONUS ROUND:

All respectable scores, but Chrissy's the big winner! We'll check out the big prizes one more time:

A Western USA holiday
A £4,000 Jackpot
A Kia Pride 3-door family saloon

Chrissy will play for the car. This puzzle is her final chapter:
