Turnabout (2)
Synopsis
Roy Ward Dickson asked a contestant six questions, worth (in order) £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 and £10, making the possible jackpot £25. The player was then awarded a dictionary and came back on the next show a fortnight later, armed with three words selected from the dictionary. Roy was challenged to spell these words, and if he couldn't, then the prize money was doubled and the contestant could come back on the next show with another three words with which to challenge him.

Trivia
Cantankerous 1950s TV critic Bernard Levin (who didn't like game shows at the best of times) said of this show, "its sole distinction is that it is the dullest of its tribe... idiotic in conception and pointless in execution".
