Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Today's contestants are:
Caroline: 34-year old mother of two, and she had her own Shirley Valentine experience and participated in a Greek run; from South Wales
Mark: Plays American football, which he says is a great way to take your anger out on somebody; from Portstewart in Northern Ireland
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, but please don't take your anger out over a few bad spaces. Outside of those, this Wheel means well. Who will start?
Question: What colour is the middle band of a rainbow?
Fiona: Green (Correct!)
Question: Name the pub in the TV series Emmerdale Farm.
Mark: Woolpack (Correct!)
Question: Which country run the Rugby Union World Cup at Twickenham?
Caroline: Australia (Correct!)
Not an "equal" size puzzle, but it's still double points, and we have a fourth 1,000 space.
Question: What was John Major's cabinet position when he was elected leader of the Conservative party?
Mark: Chancellor of the Exchequer (Correct!)
BONUS ROUND:
Mark moves up to the big prizes! Which does he want?
A trip to Mexico
A £4,000 Jackpot
A Vauxhall Nova family saloon
Mark picks the car. He tackles this final puzzle:
RSTDMA fills in half of it, but it leaves some gaps.
Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

And back to the lady in red beside a Vauxhall Nova family saloon.

Mark solves PRACTISE WHAT YOU PREACH.
Good thing he didn't take his anger out on the Wheel. It's safe for Steve to give him a trip to London for Miss Saigon, an oriental rug, or an oriental cooking class.
Mark picks the rug.

Even though a second BANKRUPT got on the Wheel, we prove we're about fortune with a second 1,000 space. Carol even has a French makeup collection to give you! Don't get mad at Nicky for putting a token on 250. Just take it and solve this puzzle!

Fiona says DRIVING LICENCE, not even asking to solve.
She almost lost her licence for that one. Steve can still be nice and offer her a coffee grinder, machine, and wine pack, a trip to Spain, or a 14-inch TV with crockery set.
Fiona wants the trip to Spain.

Time to pile up those miles! We have a third 1,000 space, and it's now doubled points! Carol slowly enters with a 9-karat gold ring with sapphire and diamonds, while Nicky quickly drops a token on 450. We look at the board:

Mark quickly solves JEFFREY ARCHER FIRST AMONG EQUALS.
Call yourself an "equal" after taking an extra prize? But Steve doesn't mind! As long as somebody takes an inflatable dinghy boat, a trip to Athens, or a fishing rod, jacket, hat, and bag.
Mark now has a dinghy.

Mark solves THE OLYMPIC GAMES. Time for the closing!
A bit of consolation for Caroline before we give Mark a look at an executive leather top desk, a trip to Vienna, and a word processing computer.
Mark accepts the word processor.
