The quiz show where contestants identify the right answers from a selection, to avoid wiping out their cash score. A special prize is on offer to the winner, if they're quick enough to make their final selection. With Paul Daniels.
There's a Sheffield United as well as a former part-time industrial team named Sheffield Wednesday that was based on the only day of the week that the team could play professionally.
Likewise there's an Oxford City who were a National League club last season. Cambridge City also had an opportunity to join the Football League in the 1930s, decades before United did, but turned it down. Nothing wrong with the topic, but they should have just literally used clubs with all suffixes, e.g. Blackburn Rovers, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Plymouth Argyle.
This episode made a mistake about Top 40 DJ hits. According to a show, Chris Tarrant was a wipeout compared to Steve Wright. Wright only got 2 Top 75 hits compared to Tarrant who went to the Top 40 as a member of the Bucketeers in 1980. Thickos!
Blimey, this Primetime version of Wipeout looks terrible! Thank goodness that it got revamped in 1998 when it moved to Daytime; I grew up with the Bob Monkhouse era anyway.
