Airdate: August 9, 1993
Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Today's contestants are:
Lynn Carl: Warden at an elderly person sheltered housing scheme, also did amateur dramatics in the past; from Leicester
Russell (last name not given): Father of three who participated in a supermarket trolley dash; from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight
Mary McFetridge: Butcher at a local Safeway, and is "the only meat manager in the whole of Scotland"...though she's also a practical joker; from Cambuslang
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, but be careful, as one bad spin could drag all your points where you'd never imagine. Ready to buzz in?
Question: Taking his throne in 1975, Juan Carlos is the reigning monarch of which country?
Two BANKRUPT spaces? Even if you've seen one, that's too many. Instead, look at a second 1,000 space! You may also look at Carol with an emerald and diamond ring. We find a token on 250, and we find this puzzle on the board:
Question: Who succeeded Neil Kinnock in 1992 as leader of the Labour Party?
Russell: John Smith (Correct!)
We move to the next chapter where we have a third 1,000 space with doubled point values! We also find Carol with a food hamper full of "glorious goodies"! Nicky sticks the token on 500 before we look at the next puzzle.
Question: In which American TV series was Captain Frank Furillo a major character?
Mary: Hill Street Blues (Correct!)
"Will Lynn win?" Will someone else hit that fourth 1,000 space? Will we have time to find out?
That last one is a no, but Nicky might hit the fourth space when he gives the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 300 doubled. Time to buzz in!
Question: Which biblical characters tasted forbidden fruit from the tree?
Mary: Adam and Eve (Correct!)
Mary: R (x2) (1,200)
Lynn: T (x2) (1,200)
Russell: S (x4) (2,400)
Mary: C (DUD!)
Lynn: N (x3) (3,000)
Russell: M (3,000)
Mary: L (x2) (2,400)
BONUS ROUND:
It's time for Lynn to step away from the Wheel and look at our big prizes!
A holiday in Sri Lanka and the Maldives
A £5,000 Jackpot
A Suzuki jeep
Lynn needs to go for the jeep. Time to solve one last puzzle!
TNDRLE gives just a few letters.

Mary solves LENNY HENRY AND DAWN FRENCH.
Steve might be a practical joker, but he knows we don't need joke prizes. He'll just offer us a fashion selection for the Ascot racecourse, a TV and video player, or a share in a racehorse.
Mary takes the television.

Russell actually spun the Wheel for 200, bought an A, then called an F without spinning. It was allowed, though there was no F.

She's silent and does not solve DAME KIRI TE KANAWA...not that she'd know how to say it. Lynn leaves with the trip to Monte Carlo and the souvenir watch.
