Bob Monkhouse in Wipeout (1994)

Trivia

Episode #5.49

Wipeout

The second main grid has a Wipeout answer that was clearly added for the purposes of innuendo: dickcissel.

Although a dickcissel is a bird (on a grid where correct answers are titles of rulers), Bob can hardly contain his laughter when he asks contestant Danielle Roper what she thinks it is. Danielle replies "I dread to think", before laughing herself.
The second Auction Grid on this edition - Cricket Grounds - had previously appeared as an Auction Grid in Episode #1.3 (1994).

Eight of the possible answers were the same, with just four differences.
As with many final grids that are based on a film star's movies - in this case Gene Kelly - the Wipeout answers are all films starring a different person who may be in a similar field. In this case all six incorrect answers are films which featured Fred Astaire.
The grid subjects featured on this edition are:

Main Grids: Artists who appeared on "Do They Know It's Christmas?"; Titles of rulers.

Auction Grids: Rivers in Europe; Cricket venues.

Final Grid: Gene Kelly films.
