Pot-holing of a sort in Philippe’s castle on the rock... Well,

in the courtyard |

As usual, the cameraman was Graham Berry, but the video engineer
was Serge Beaupere (instead of Frank Meyburgh) and the local helicopter was
flown by Gerard de Preville (instead of Keith Thompson). |

The actor was Peter Ustinov who had signed the visitors book. |

In the London studio a bottle of wine was produced to help
the contestants (not to drink but to show the label!). |
