Oh no! I blame your son...

Thanks! I trust that all is silent from the Antipodes this morning?

Excellent! I felt a bit tentative with my answers, but all worked out OK.

Watched it live in the UK on the BBC. Wonderful atmosphere!

Sometimes it pays not to overthink it.

Well, he's not in NZ, so perhaps he's not found it so easy to shrug off the parental oversight...

My son (aged 41) got it in 6 and was fairly traumatised by it. But at least he didn't share the answer!

Wow, impressive! I was pleased to get a 4.

Outrageous! Disinheritance is in order!

Not really - I didn't really expect to get it in 3, and was relieved to have a useful row. Well done to you on making the 3 club, though!

Sadly, I was just one letter away from keeping my place on the 3 step.

My apologies. So, like the rest of us punters, all you got from it were chronicles of wasted time, and the abiding self-questioning as to what we were doing there...

At least you guys got paid to watch those turgid borefests...

It's the sort of connection I always miss on the wall on Only Connect, and am totally agog when the team reel it off.

If you go back to look at the puzzle, bearing in mind Lindsay's comment, I think you'll spot it. I didn't notice it at all when I was doing it.
