Even in the context of these special games, i was surprised that they showed footage of Tony Barber's run, given how much the show seemed to distance itself from its past following the 1996 controversies (especially during the last couple of years post-Rob Elliot, where the show was more or less reduced to running on auto-pilot and any major milestones were barely acknowledged as "mile posts" rather than celebrations)
@@jamesharding322 Nothing to be surprised about. Had to do it for everyone. If they really wanted to distance themselves from it then the logical choice would have been to limit it to players from 1997-onwards.
@@dandegasperi4338 As they should. My comment was in response to James’ surprise that they would show any footage at all of Tony Barber hosting the show. They couldn’t just show the footage of some and not the others because a former host might trigger some viewers.
Amazing wheel please do more thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
It’s Heat 2 of the Battle Of The Champions on Wheel Of Fortune.
John Xuereb (had to do some research to get the name right) played only a few weeks before Adriana called time at the wheel

Rob was the best Wheel host. Classic Barber stitch up 😂

@@jamesharding322 I agree. I wonder if anyone has Rob’s final ep and the handover ep from Tony to Rob.
@@7120Magnum I think they did from 1996 because that’s when the new rules came in?
