Supermarket Sweep Xmas Special (Dec 17th 1993)

In this Christmas Special to round off the first series, today's Xmas crackers are Elaine & Simon from Bristol, Anne & Jennifer from Nottingham, and Rob & Mandy from Coventry. Dale Winton hosts in a surprisingly formal suit for Xmas with the supermarket decked in white Xmas trees. And it proves a lively episode right from a frantic Mini Sweep, as one player proves very good in the quiz rounds - though she does have trouble stifling giggles at some of the more saucier sounding clues and answers. "Have you had your medication yet?" asks Dale at one point. But it all changes when they switch players to make it more interesting going into the Super Sweep - though one team will have to go like the clappers to make sure they are not left behind. And they do in what proves a thumping good sweep - especially for a cameraman - though the other two teams aren't safe from her either. But will it be enough or will one of the front runners earn the right to go for the Xmas goodies of £2,000? It proves astonishingly close in the cash totals, while for the victors there is a Xmas twist to play for, but will they pull it off in time? I couldn't say, but it's a rare episode that has an uncensored swear word pop up by one contestant, the audience going crackers in a special game at the end, and if you wanted to know what the man behind the voiceover in the Super Sweep, Bobby Bragg, looked like then here's your chance. Merry Christmas all!
