| Notes |
| 1 |
Because Annie narrowly fails to get the treasure, the contestants
win £500 and a consolation bottle of champagne. However Kenneth makes a voiceover
announcement during the end-credits to say that “on reflection” it has been decided
to award the contestants the full £1000 because they had said at the beginning
of the programme that they would be giving the money to charity. |
