Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Even a small contestant might love a big prize like a trip to China and Hong Kong...
Today's contestants are:
Paula: Mother of two who's a bit of a giggler, and works at a football club in the betting office; from Ipswich
Marcus: Works in retail and is a big fan of archive TV, thinking 50's and 60's shows are superior to today's stuff (except Wheel, of course); from Nottingham
Veronica: Psychiatric nursing assistant in Talgarth in Mid Wales, and wants to win a holiday or a car on the show
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, and you might need it to pass our test for the bigger prizes. We have another test to pass, and you must buzz in.
Question: What dish is traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday?
Marcus: Pancakes (Correct!)
The second BANKRUPT space will simply shed the pounds, but the second 1,000 space will build up your score! Will a pair of golden plum tree earrings be a big deal? A small token goes on 250, and our next round begins.
Question: What is the world's largest desert?
Marcus: Sahara (Correct!)
The others will be happy to hear that we've added a third 1,000 space and doubled point values! We'll all be happy to see Carol with a vintage champagne presentation set, but what about Nicky placing a token on 250? And this next puzzle?
Question: The singer/songwriter Morrissey was formerly associated with which British band?
Paula: The Smiths (Correct!)
Can we toast Marcus for taking the lead? We've just added a fourth 1,000 space to the Wheel!
Question: Who is the only British woman to win Olympic gold at Barcelona in 1992?
Marcus: ...Sally Gunnell (Just in time!)
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Time for Marcus to actually keep the points. Nicky will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 200 doubled.
Veronica: D (x3) (8,500)
Veronica says BRYAN ADAMS EVERYTHING I DO...but she hits a wall.
Paula: B (400)
BONUS ROUND:
Let's do one more favour for Veronica and give her one of our big prizes:
A trip to China and Hong Kong
A £5,000 Jackpot
A Suzuki Swift
Veronica will try for the car. Was this puzzle written for her?
TRSNDE is pretty helpful.

Veronica solves IT'S NO USE CRYING OVER SPILT MILK.
While we clean up the mess from Paula's bad spin, Steve can distract us by offering Veronica a man's formal suit, a children's clothing pair, or a lady's cocktail dress.
Veronica takes the children's clothing.

Paula solves BRYAN ADAMS EVERYTHING I DO I DO IT FOR YOU.
Perhaps Veronica was just being too nice since she already had the points. Paula looks at a 3-seater settee, a state-of-the-art CD player, and a TV with video player (to record your favourite game show!).
Paula finishes with the CD player for her husband.
