The viewers' question on this edition was "Steve Owen was a character in 'EastEnders' - True or Wipeout?"
In a grid on characters from EastEnders (1985), Bob teases Bobby Davro that he's "glued to this series", with Bobby sarcastically saying "Of course, of course", and having to pass after two just guesses.
Less than 7 years after the broadcast of this episode, Bobby would be seen in EastEnders himself, playing the character "Vinnie Monks".

Bob takes the artifice of the show to a new level with this edition, claiming that he's had phone calls while the show has been on air asking who is pictured on his tie. (Lucille Ball.)
Not only was the show recorded in advance, but there's no other pretence anywhere in the format to suggest that the show is going out "live", with clear edit points between rounds.
