* Barrymore asks to fill in the blank to “The Princess and the ____”. A contestant answers “porker” (to the host quipping that would have been a better story) and another says “turnip” (with the audience losing it and Barrymore laughing hard).

** When it comes to them again, they hit a screen and win a lawnmower and gardening tools (Barbara: We haven't got a lawn, no!), and decide to move onto the next screen.
-->'''Barbara: *as Robert strikes the screen*''' You get a Hot Spot, and I'll murder ya! '''*BWEEOOP-BWEEOOP-BWEEOOP!!!*'''

** [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Thankfully, Barrymore decided to give them the £10,000 anyways.]]

* One episode starts with the contestants making their way to the starting positions, and the red contestant stops halfway across the board. Barrymore notices this and takes her to the proper starting space.

-->'''Barrymore:''' Where the hell where you going?! She went round the back! I tell you what, you can't see the prizes around the back, it's a television! *turns and goes back to the question takers* What a good start(!) We've a couple here who've come all the way from Malaysia, they know the right way to go!

* One episode of the 87/88 season had a brilliant moment at the start of the game. As the players are makign their way to their respective start screens, the red contestant goes '''BEHIND''' the topmost set of monitors instead of the front of it. She quickly realizes her mistake and goes back around the right way, embarassed, but still catches it from Barrymore.

* A contestant from the Strike It Rich run was a bit too literal minded - they actually struck the screen instead of the button below. Barrymore's reaction to that is priceless.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyUC15SbuNw The entirety of the 1997 charity special]], but the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyUC15SbuNw&t=20m26s show stealer was the end game]] where the couple playing ended up getting [[EpicFail SIX Hot Spots.]] One of the contestants claiming that the board's 'bent' (rigged) just seals it.

** After the game FINALLY gets underway[[note]]([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer I'm not kidding.]] The interview portion takes nearly twenty minutes to get through it.)[[/note]], Barrymore says, "[[SarcasmMode Yes, you see, we've got a very bright producer here.]] He's put the pregnant lady at the top". (the wives served as the "strikers", while the Armed Forces husbands answered the questions)

* An episode of the 1994 season had one of the couples getting a camera on one reveal. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-7fOOhc2c&t=11m0s When asked if she wanted it, she instead presses the button on the next screen and gets a Hot Spot.]]

* The blue couple gets asked a question, to which Barbara blurts out the answer (At the same time the blue contestant does, but it's hilarious nonetheless).

* From the very first episode, the question answerer for the yellow couple complains about the questions being given, saying they're not 'intelligent' enough.
** Moments later when they do move, on the first screen they get £150, and Barbra (the question taker) says if they go on, they bet they'll hit a Hot Spot. Sure enough, Robert (the one going across) hits the second screen and gets a Hot Spot.

--->'''Barrymore:''' Did you want the camera? Well we'll get one for you, stuff her!
