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

So many delights in store including a trip to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bali...

...a £4,000 Jackpot...

...and a Vauxhall Nova!

Three seniors are playing with us!

Mrs. Anne Dornen: From Plymouth in Devon...and had the company of two drunken Irishmen who were "very, very naughty" until she told them off at Preston Station.
Henry Kelly: Party animal and an M.C. at lots of children's parties and business parties, and used to do some dancing; from Glasgow
Ella Snaith: Married for 40 years and is a mother of three and grandmother of four, from Newcastle upon Tyne

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, and somebody will have to tell it off if it stops on BANKRUPT. Will that make it all better? There's only one way to find out as we start our game...

Round 1

STAR & MOVIE

Question: Which ex-Prime Minister is quoted as saying "You've never had it so good"?
Ella: Harold Macmillan (Correct!)

Anne	Henry	ELLA
		250: S (DUD!)

250: T (x2) 450: P (DUD!)	800: R 500: N (x2) 400: L (x2) 800: C BANKRUPT! (3,400)	200: W (x2) 500: H (x2) 150: D 250: P (DUD!)
500		1,550
900: K Solve: Correct!
1,400

STAR & MOVIE

Anne solves CLARK GABLE GONE WITH THE WIND. "What's the last line? Quite frankly, my dear..." "...I've forgotten."

Steve has never had it so good, simply finding fun ways to tell us about prizes such as an indoor/outdoor table tennis set, a field holiday in Amsterdam, and a garden/patio furniture set.

Anne will have the Amsterdam trip.

Anne	Henry	Ella
1,400		1,550
Amsterdam

Things just got naughty with a second BANKRUPT, so we'll make it nice with a second 1,000 space. The always nice Carol has a faux fur coat for us, and Nicky has a token that goes on 250. Do you give a damn about this puzzle?

Round 2

OCCUPATION

Question: What does a philatelist collect?
Ella: Stamps (Correct!)

Anne	Henry	ELLA
		200: T 250: F (x2) Solve: Correct!
		700

OCCUPATION

Perfection! Ella quickly solves TRAFFIC WARDEN.

Does she have a parking violation we don't know about? We do know she's getting one of a home table and trolley combo, a Crown Derby tea set, or a 3-piece suite.

Ella takes her time and takes the table and trolley.

Anne	Henry	Ella
1,400		2,250
Amsterdam		Table/trolley

Ella probably just wanted to get to the third 1,000 space and doubled points. Carol suddenly has to offer us a gent's Swiss watch! The token will be placed on 450, and the next puzzle is:

Round 3

PHRASE

Question: "We never close" was the slogan of which theatre?

Ella: Windmill (Correct!)

(Everyone knew that one.)

Anne	Henry	ELLA
		500: H (x2) BANKRUPT! (2,000)

400: L (x2) 500: T (x2) 400: K (x2) 250: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
6,200

PHRASE

Anne solves TALK THE HIND LEGS OFF A DONKEY. (She actually says "leg" singular, but it's accepted.)

Okay, we'll behave and offer Anne another prize. She has the choice of a classic Chinese rug, a trip to Rome, or a Royal Doulton dinner service.

Anne now has a rug.

Anne	Henry	Ella
7,600		2,250
Amsterdam Chinese rug		Table/trolley

We won't say too much, but we will be adding a fourth 1,000 space to the Wheel!

Round 4

PERSON

Question: In Mrs Dale's Diary, what was James Dale's occupation?
Anne: Doctor (Correct!)

ANNE	Henry	Ella
400: H (x3) 1,000: T (x2) 200: F 250: N
7,300

PERSON

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Even with some fast rounds, Nicky still has to give the Wheel a final spin. Consonants are worth 1,000 doubled.

Anne: F (Repeat)
Henry: R (x3) (6,000)

PERSON

Henry solves THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

This was his only turn since a bad spin in the first round, so Henry deserved this prize. Does he want an oven and grill combo, a trip to Lanzarote, or a gas/electric/deep-fry hob?

In his best M.C. voice, Henry announces his acceptance of a trip to Lanzarote.

Anne	Henry	Ella
14,900	6,000	2,250
Amsterdam Chinese rug	Lanzarote	Table/trolley

All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.

BONUS ROUND:

Anne is shaking like a leaf! She's under pressure to win one of these prizes:

A trip to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bali
A £4,000 Jackpot
A Vauxhall Nova

Anne picks the car. Will she have to tell off this puzzle?

Bonus Puzzle

TELEVISION

KRTMNE gives her a bit of help with each word.

TELEVISION

She instantly solves THIS MORNING to keep the car! Anne leaves with that, the rug, the trip to Amsterdam, and the souvenir watch.
