* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyUC15SbuNw&t=20m26s The end game of the 1997 charity special]] had the winning couple hit a HOT SPOT on their first three picks, which would normally count as an automatic loss (as they were playing for £10,000 and could only uncover two Hot Spots), but host Michael Barrymore decided to let them continue anyways, even after they uncovered more Hot Sports. Ultimately, they uncovered SIX Hot Sports, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming but Barrymore still decided to award them the £10,000]].
