Stacey solves UMPIRE WICKET BATSMAN. Chris is blushing, and Stacey will take the 200 if she knows where we are.
She says cricket, which is good for the money. (It's a cricket match.) Chris had cricket on the mind.
He might also have some prizes on the mind, but Stacey also takes this round's prize: a Kenwood chef kitchen machine, an Apollo men's 24-speed mountain bike, or a Waterman fountain pen set.
Stacey grabs the bike.

Chris almost twists his tongue, but he solves VENTRILOQUIST.
He can rest his tongue for a few seconds as we present him a Creola jewellery set, a Samsung Digimax camera, and a 2-night McLarens on the Lake winery holiday.
Time to speak, and Chris picks the holiday.

He says A BARREL OF MONKEYS, which is close, but he does not solve A BARREL OF LAUGHS. Luckily, Chris will be back again on Monday.
Before the end, we have to say goodbye to Grundy production assistant Sarah Moore who has been with the show for a few years. She's going travelling to Europe, so watch out for her!
