Supermarket Sweep (S1, Ep 69 - Dec 9th 1993)

Today's contestants are Barbara & Dave from Newcastle, Wendy & Helen from Nottinghamshire, and Andy & Liz from Surrey. They are a colourful looking bunch, but Dale Winton is eager to add to the colour with a mustard suit and multi coloured tie. (Where does he get them from?). The teams include day nursery pals, another is an airline pilot whose wife envies Demi Moore, while the third is with her husband's best mate on the show. It doesn't go well in the Mini Sweep, but it fairs better in the quiz rounds, with all of them hitting the 2 minute mark and one taking a notable lead going into the Super Sweep. With that in mind tactics come into play for the chasing pack, but will it prove fruitful come the price totalling at the end or are they setting themselves up for a fall? And will the victors triumph where it really counts when they bid to win the £2,000 cash prize?

(Please note that Episode 70 is missing from Series 1 for some reason, so the next episode will be Ep 71. This is nothing to do with me, it just doesn't seem to be available online).
