UK - Series 12 (Glenn/Angie/Colin) recap

Airdate: Unknown (sometime in 2000)

Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune. Today's contestants are:

Glenn Rogers: Photographer, from Essex
Angie Ellis: Used to wear a snake around her neck, from Sunderland
Colin Thierson: Into hill-walking, from Hamilton

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. No need for a photofinish, but it can be similar. Solve at the right time, and you can earn the £100 bonus. Make sure your hands are ready, as Round 1 will begin:

Angie solves TOMMY LEE JONES DOUBLE JEOPARDY. She missed out on the cash though...there was a red B up there!

At least she won't miss out on the prizes. Time to pick one, which might just be a camcorder.

Angie picks it!


Beware, as the lens cap known as the extra BANKRUPT is on the loose, while the extra 1,000 could help you towards the perfect shot. The perfect prize goes on the Wheel too, but you won't know what it is right now. A mystery prize token goes on 750.

Now for Round 2:

He notices the wonderful prizes we have. Would he like a washing machine?

He takes the mountain bike.


No more uphill battles! A third 1,000 space is on the Wheel, and we have doubled the points! You could also win a £100 bonus by solving another related puzzle. But shall be begin Round 3?

It is real with a solve of DAVID COPPERFIELD.

We're back to the prizes again. Could it be an electric keyboard that she picks?

It's really going to be the TV and video combo.


We'll play another round:

Angie solves BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER for 3,000.

She selects the Hi-Fi system.


Glenn was a bit slow on the last puzzle, but nobody should leave empty-handed. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.
