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

The best solver could win a silver 2-door car or a £20,000 cash jackpot!

Today's contestants are:

Shivon Cochrane: Big fan of Bradley Walsh, from Belfast
Steven Berry: Fishing for that money on our show, from Bristol
Kay Gabors: Actress married to a pig farmer, from Ipswich

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Someone could be a big fan of Bradley if they win a £100 bonus! But first, we need somebody to buzz in:

Round 1

STAR/MOVIE

Question: Which famous scientist developed the theory of relativity?
Shivon: Einstein (Correct!)

SHIVON	Steve	Kay
1,000: T (x2) 700: S (x2) 800: R 200: H (x2) 500: F 700: K (DUD!)	400: P (DUD!)	400: N 1,000: G Cash prize? She declines.
5,100		1,400

"Sorry Steve, no P. I should see a doctor about that as well." - Brad

STAR/MOVIE

Kay doesn't quite have enough information on the board.

Shivon	Steve	Kay
		1,400
		400: B 200: W (x2) Solve: Correct!
		2,200

STAR/MOVIE

Kay solves GOLDIE HAWN THE FIRST WIVES CLUB.

Kay is now joining the "first prize" club, as she'll be taking a pine wine rack with wine included, an Italian coffee maker, or a table and chairs from Steve.

She's taking the wine rack.

Shivon	Steve	Kay
5,100		2,200
		Wine rack

Brad seems to be jealous about Kay's shirt. It's green and fluffy, ready to be mowed like the lawn. Unfortunately for Brad, his suit is green but smooth.

The first bad spin could come from the second BANKRUPT. The second 1,000 space could vault you into first place! Oh, and we have a silver bangle watch to be won. The token's on 1,000, and the puzzle's ready!

A brand new category is also ready!

Round 2

THE COMMON WORD

Brad gives an example of the category, NATIONAL LOTTERY TICKET. We link "National Lottery" and "lottery ticket" together. In other words..."Before & After".

Question: Who wrote the novel on which the film Jurassic Park was based?
Shivon: Michael Crichton (Correct!)

SHIVON	Steve	Kay
200: R Lose A Turn!	400: L 500: S (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! (0)
200	400
400: N -250: E 1,000: D (DUD!)	900: G Lose A Turn!	400: B 400: H (DUD!)
350	1,300	400
200: M (x2) 750: C 400: K Solve: Correct!
1,900

THE COMMON WORD

Shivon solves MAGAZINE RACK OF LAMB, reading "rack" twice for the common word.

Too bad we can't give her two prizes for that solve. She only gets one from Steve, and it will be a multi-gym machine, a wooden sauna, or a set of electronic weigh scales.

Shivon gets a set of scales.

Shivon	Steve	Kay
7,000	1,300	2,600
Scales		Wine rack

Don't forget to LAUGH. LOUDER. That's just what Brad wants.

Boy, you're gonna carry those points a long time. We have a third 1,000 space and doubled values, and we're throwing in a range of body products! Let's slap the token on 1,000.

We'll ask Kay to slap another token for Brad's Box on 750 after we toss it to her. Once that's done, we look at the puzzle board:

Round 3

PHRASE

Question: Anthony Hopkins starred recently as which great Spanish-born artist?

Kay: Picasso (Accepted.)

Brad asks for the first name, but he decides that just "Picasso" is good enough for Pablo Picasso.

Shivon	Steve	KAY
		150: S BANKRUPT! (300)

200: T (x2) 200: H 300: R (x3) -250: E (x3) Free Spin! -250: A (x2) Lose A Turn! (Free Spin used) Free Spin! 300: N 1,000: D (DUD!) (Free Spin used) 800: P (DUD!)	250: B 800: F (x2) Solve: Correct!
3,100	3,700

Shivon immediately reaches for her Free Spin token before hitting Lose A Turn, and the sound does not play. She then picks up a different Free Spin token that Brad prepared earlier. On her incorrect P, Brad is disappointed that she can't turn in a token.

PHRASE

Steve solves FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE.

Maybe he was a coward for stopping now, but at least Steve's won a prize! The other Steve is offering a display cabinet and sideboard, a fish decorated plate service, or a CD system to Steve.

Steve takes a CD player from Steve.

Shivon	Steve	Kay
10,100	5,000	2,600
Scales	CD system	Wine rack

We're brave enough to put another puzzle on the board.

Round 4

AUTHOR/BOOK

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Maybe that wasn't such a great idea. Still, we'll let Nicky give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 400 doubled, and it's time to buzz in.

Question: Which is the tallest living animal?
Kay: Giraffe (Correct!)

Kay: S (800)
Shivon: T (800)
Steve: L (DUD!)
Kay: M (DUD!)
Shivon: J (x2) (2,400)
Steve: N (x3) (2,400)
Kay: P (x2) (2,400)

AUTHOR/BOOK

Kay solves JANE AUSTEN PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Brad turns the blanks on the right for Jenny.

With so much space left, we didn't think she'd do it, but Kay solved it. Now to take a designer bed with cast iron frame, a trip to Vienna, or a chez longue and chez short.

Kay finishes with the bed.

Shivon	Steve	Kay
12,500	7,400	5,000
Scales	CD system	Wine rack Designer bed

All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch and handheld game.

BONUS ROUND:

We're not sure if it was bravery, but Shivon's the one to play for a car or the £20,000!

Two envelopes for her, and she picks the one with...

£20,000 cash jackpot!

Be brave, face Brad, then face this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

EVENT

Not too many letters, so will RSTLNE in that order do much?

EVENT

She thinks THE CLASS DAY, THE SILKS DAY, and THE PICKS DAY, but she does not solve THE DAVIS CUP. Shivon leaves with the scales and the souvenirs.

This is Jenny's last chance. Brad asks if she wants to take him out. No.

Okay, one more chance after that. It's still a no. He's driving her crazy!
