Bob Monkhouse in Wipeout (1994)

Trivia

Episode #6.34

Wipeout

The grid subjects featured on this edition are:

Main Grids: People born in Canada; Names that are also rivers.

Auction Grids: Comedians who have had a Top 20 hit in the UK charts; Types of shark.

Final Grid: Words that can be followed by the word "Park" to make a famous football association.
Bob jokes with contestant Colin Dawes about him having a baby son called George, the same name as a character on Shooting Stars (1993) played by Matt Lucas.

Although the midday broadcasts of Wipeout would have attracted student viewers, it's not quite clear how much of the show's audience would have crossed over with the post-watershed BBC2 comedy show, and understood the reference.
When Alexei Sayle is chosen as a grid option, Bob cites Alexei as "The funniest man on TV for my money. I love what he does."
The second Auction Grid on this edition - types of shark - had first appeared as an Auction Grid in Episode #4.7 (1996).

Despite the subject matter, only two answers were the same on both grids - "Nurse" and "Whale". A third similar option was "Hammer-Headed", which is close to this edition's "Great Hammerhead". However, while all Great Hammerheads are hammerhead sharks, not all harmmerhead sharks are Great Hammerheads.
