Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune. Today's contestants are:
David Botts (?): Passionate about football, from Tyne and Wear
Jane Clenthra: Police officer, from Harrow
Jonathan Good: Financial advisor, from West Wales
Are they passionate about robbing us of a bit of money? Well, let's not put it that way. The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, we have a possible £100 bonus, and our puzzle is ready for Round 1. You ready on the buzzers?

Jane solves THE DREW CAREY SHOW.
While she couldn't keep the previous points, she still gets a prize. Two of the ones we have are are a kettle and toaster or a television!
Jane takes the bike.
Avoid the physical arrest that might come from an additional BANKRUPT, but feel free with another 1,000 on the Wheel, and surprise yourself with a mystery prize that John places on 400. All ready for Round 2 after that?
EVENT: (Jenny reveals an apostrophe)

Jonathan solves THE ADMIRAL'S CUP.
He's won a tour of the showcase. Maybe a washing machine?
Jonathan picks up the television.
Another boost from another 1,000 space. Speed to that high score with double the points! Maybe finish with an extra £100 from an extra puzzle? We start Round 3:

David solves MANHATTAN ISLAND.
But there's still the matter of that extra cash. One guess with this puzzle below:
OBJECT:
S _ _ S _ R _ _ _ R
His guess of SUNSURFER is incorrect. (Oddly, the "time's up" sound is still heard instead of the "wrong letter" signal.) The answer is SKYSCRAPER.
That aside, it's three puzzles, three winners. Plenty of prizes to choose from, such as a Hi-Fi system or Blender and mixer.
David chooses the television.
Last round to score, with points still doubled:
PHRASE:

Question: What name is given to a licenced amateur radio operator?
Jane: Ham (Correct!)

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
After taking too much information to this level (David made prior remarks about a particular "monty"), John gives the Wheel a Final Spin, with consonants worth...800 doubled.
David: P (DUD!)
Jane: R (x2)
Jonathan: B
David: W (x2)

David solves A ROSE BETWEEN TWO THORNS for 4,800.
He gets the final showcase prize of the day. We'll try and offer a fridge/freezer or camcorder.
David will end it with the Hi-Fi system.
All contestants receive Wheel of Fortune souvenirs.
£2,000 BONUS ROUND:
After a pretty high scoring main game, I'm feeling good about this. Here's the final puzzle:

He quickly solves CHRIS TARRANT to claim the £2,000 and go home with a lot to be happy about!
