I remember this one vaguely, but not sure if this is an Armchair Thriller.

There is this spinning table, with two pistols on it, one loaded with blanks, one loaded with live ammo.

At the end of the episode, the protagonist spins the table another half spin, and he gets the loaded gun to kill the villain.

Is this an Armchair Thriller? And if so, episode title.

No it's the episode "Where the Action Is" (aka "The Killing Game) featuring Ingrid Pitt from the (Brian Clemens) "Thriller" (73-76) series. Originally shown in 1975 predating "Armchair Thriller" by a few years.

What is "Armchair Thriller"? There is no summary for this show here on IMDB. Some kind of spook show? Got any details? Thanks!

Should have opened a thread on this.

However, Armchair Thriller was a series of one-off thriller/mystery episodes.

Some have been released on DVD, so browse Amazon UK and you'll get an idea of what the show about. (I think they do plot synopsis on the various episodes)
