Then an editing mistake with a shot of the board with Jenny back on the wrong side and the apostrophe covered up again, then a contestant unveils the cash pot letter, there's no sound effect to signify this, the contestant doesn't even seem to understand what's happening and just plays on rather than guesses the puzzle. Very strange.
Are you sure Challenge in some previous guise hasn't butchered that? Under previous ownership there were all kinds of weird and wonderful edits to all kinds of things for no apparent reason. If this happened towards the end of an episode where a cue dot would be present, that appears to vanish and then reappear around the edits.
Under Sky ownership they only really now edit where they absolutely need to, such as we saw with Series 1 of Millionaire where they had to remake the credits for reasons previously discussed.
