Bob Monkhouse, Gail Lucas, Craig Allen, and Dawn Smith in Wipeout (1994)

Trivia

Episode #5.2

Wipeout

There's a surprisingly risqué remark from Bob to contestant Dawn Smith when he discusses the consolation prize she'll be getting. Bob tells her in front of a 12:35pm TV audience that: "But I have something I'd very much like to give you. I'll need to have a little rest first, so in the meantime here's a paperweight."
During a round on songs that were No.1 on the UK Charts for 9 weeks or more, Bob refers to "Secret Love" as a record by Doris Day.

Contestant Gail Lucas contradicts Bob, mentioning that she thought it was by Kathy Kirby.

While both are technically correct, Bob is right within the confines of the question: Kirby reached No.4 with the single in 1963/1964, Doris Day topped the UK Charts for 9 weeks with the song in 1954.
The grid on singles that were No.1 for nine weeks or more in the UK Chart first appeared in Episode #2.3 (1994).

The only difference is that "Oh Mein Papa", "Secret Love" and "Wonderful Land" weren't options on the original grid, their places instead taken by "It's Now or Never", "You're The One That I Want" and "Here In My Heart".
Viewers would see a second contestant with the name Dawn Smith during the same week on TV, due to the broadcast of Episode #5.5 (1998).
The grid subjects featured on this edition are:

Main Grids: Countries with red, white and blue in their flags; Singles at No.1 for 9 or more weeks.

Auction Grids: Children of Clergymen; Old coin names.

Final Grid: Elvis Presley hits with "blue" in the title.
