Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
One of our contestants could win one of...
A 15-day Mexican tour
A £4,000 jackpot
A 3-door hatchback
Today's contestants are:
Rosaline MacMillan: Arts development officer, from northern Ireland
Jan (no last name given): Married mother, also expecting one more, from Worcestershire
John Smith: Married father of two
Actually, the blue contestant is Nicholas Parsons, but Nicky says you can't go on a game show with a name like that.
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. We'll get more creative later on, for the sake of the arts. Answer a question correctly to score a turn at the Wheel.
Nicholas solves GRANDFATHER CLOCK.
He's two for two on the questions, so he does deserve the choice of a vintage port container with butler for the day, a silverware cutlery service, or silver canvas and "the lot".
Nicholas likes the cutlery.
Ouch, that extra BANKRUPT could ruin the whole piece. But find the extra 1,000, and who can resist? Some more eye candy comes from a decorative carriage clock, which will be placed on 200. Time for another puzzle!
Nicholas solves BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP.
Now he's two for two on the prizes, which in this case will add a bedding/chest/side table pack, a trip to Toronto, or a bedroom mirror/planter/chest pack.
Nicholas will go to Toronto.
How about a nice three-point perspective? We add one more 1,000, and an 18-karat gold ring will go on 200. Try to pick it up!
Perfection! Nicholas solves THE STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
See what vowels can lead to? Easier recaps. Now pick from an executive recliner/footstool, a complete office computer set, or an electronic typewriter.
Nicholas eyeballs the computer.
Also thanks to Nicholas, we can squeeze in one more round!
Nicky will give the Wheel a final spin, and consonants will be worth...200 a piece. Thankfully, no more questions. Rosaline starts this puzzle:
Rosaline: S
Jan: T (DUD!)
Nicholas: N
Rosaline: M (DUD!)
Jan: R (DUD!)
Nicholas: T (Repeat)
Rosaline: P (DUD!)
Jan: F (x2)
Nicholas: L (x2)
(F for "forklift truck?" Okay then.)
Nicholas solves FULL OF BEANS to SWEEP THE GAME!
Can he hold any more? Try a baby bedroom package, a family ski holiday, or a rocking horse.
He goes with the ski holiday.
This will be stuck in Rosaline and Jan forever. Positive thoughts courtesy of the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch and board game.
BONUS ROUND:
One last puzzle for the lot. One more look at the prizes available:
A 15-day Mexican tour
A £4,000 jackpot
A 3-door hatchback
Nicholas will try for the hatchback, and this puzzle will try him:
Can he reach the finish line with STRNME?
The luck continues! He solves NIAGARA FALLS to COMPLETE THE SWEEP! He should have a bit more room for what he just won, and he's certainly going away happy.
