Leads to |
Caernarfon Castle –
on spinning wheel in courtyard |
Clue 3 |

Anglesey – in Long Dining Room where there is an exhibition of Whistler paintings |

Result |
The contestants ran out of time on the final clue |
Notes |
1 |
The contestants take a long time to work out that the Rice
mentioned in the clue refers to Anneka Rice! They look for a reference to someone
else called Rice being sent down! |
2 |

from the helicopter. |
