Trivia
The question for viewers on this edition is: "Meeko is a character from Hugh Lofting's 'Doctor Doolittle' - True or Wipeout?"

Goofs
Although all of the Bob Monkhouse Wipeout episodes were recorded without a studio audience and canned laughter was dubbed on afterwards, it's particularly obvious in this edition.

This includes moments like Bob's jokes being drowned out by "laughter" so they can hardly be heard, or the heavy disparity of Bob getting smiles from the contestants (the only people actually in the room with him, other than the technical crew) and roars of laughter from the "audience".

Bob usually has an instinct of what kind of response his gags would receive, but here jokes that go over only moderately well see him turn to the "audience" for bursts of laughter.

Alternate versions
A 28'03m edit of this episode exists that omits the "Viewers' Question" segment, presumably for repeat purposes. The duration listed for this edition refers to the original 28'46m length with the segment included.
