This edition was recorded on 28th January 1998.
All of the Bob Monkhouse Wipeout episodes were recorded without a studio audience, and the sound of a crowd dubbed on afterwards.
This edition sees Bob play to the "audience" to an unusually high degree, even by his usual standards, thanking them for their applause, and then telling a joke about striking audiences who refused to laugh at jokes - before turning to the "seating area" and saying "it's over now!"

Bob was sometimes recording up to five episodes in a single day, which left him frequently exhausted. This appears to be the case for this edition, where he has a noticeable cough throughout.
The grid subjects featured on this edition are:
Main Grids: Jane Austen novels; Sporting terms.
Auction Grids: People who have appeared on bank notes since 1970; Breeds of dog.
Final Grid: Old prisons.
