Wipeout (1994)

Trivia

Episode #5.43

Wipeout

Unusually, voiceover announcer George Layton doesn't introduce the three contestants in left-to-right order, but leaves centre-placed contestant David John Lewis until last. No explanation is given for this change in convention.
The second Main Grid - Monarchs since 1066 - had previously appeared as a final grid in Episode #2.15 (1995).

Just six of the possible answers appeared on both grids: Harold, Stephen, Robert, John, Anne and Norman.
The subject of the first Auction Grid - Singles straight in at No.1 - had been used as a Main Grid in Episode #3.2 (1995).

However, there were a lot of differences in the answer choices, with only one option - "Two Tribes" - appearing on both grids.
An Auction Grid titled "Balls" is so obviously named for innuendo purposes that Bob even announces it as "ball in the plural". Contestant Caroline Cove can be seen smirking and bowing her head when she first sees the title.
The grid subjects featured on this edition are:

Main Grids: Types of stew; Monarchs since 1066.

Auction Grids: Songs straight in at No.1; Sports played with balls.

Final Grid: Atomic symbols.
