Word games are always a classic for a TV blooper. Just look at Countdown - from 'C**tflaps' to 'w***ers' that show has spelt it all.
The Wheel of Fortune was a favourable Saturday night classic that has now wound its way onto Challenge TV.
By the way, if you're ever after a classic dose of Catchphrase or Supermarket Sweep - it's the channel to be at.
It's also your place to get your fix of complete '90s gameshow nostalgia.

So, it's to American television, and Wheel of Fortune. Imagine you have a chance to win a shed load of money, you are one letter away from the jackpot. One square, one letter.
Kevin had the clue 'title'. Between himself and the other contestants, he had the following phrase spelled out for him.
'A Streetcar Na_ed Desire'.
Kevin, who had already accumulated $1,600, could have netted an extra $600 with this letter.
However, being the dirty minded man he was, went for the letter K. So, that's 'naked'. Yes, 'A streetcar naked desire'.
Host Pat Sajak, probably in pure shock, shouted 'no' before moving on to Lisa. She spun the wheel, stopped on $1,000, guessed the correct answer and scooped the jackpot.
Was this perhaps as much of a mistake as this contestant from The Chase?
Of course, the correct title was: 'A streetcar named desire'. It's a play written in 1947 by Tennessee Williams, which later became a film.
It was bound to cause laughs, and Sajak said to Lisa: "Well, funny little game... and although you got the right answer, I'd rather see Kevin's play."
We expect the stage version out very promptly.
