Do they really choose the winning prize, 10 August 2005
Author: Sulla-2 from United Kingdom

My favourite presenter was Nicky Campbell who was a class above the other presenter, showing a genuine warmth and regard for the contestants. Answering the initial question is secondary to having the skill to identify the necessary names or phrases. Potential winners must have the nerve to carry on spinning the wheel for more points even after it is clear that they know the answer. The eventual winner gets to go for £20,000 or a brand new car. Most winners seem to go for pick the envelope for the car, making me suspicious that the car was in both envelopes. The final puzzle is either very easy or very difficult dependant on how lucky the winner is with their letter choices. More letters in the answer can be helpful. Very short answers can be very difficult.
