And while we’re at it…please someone stop the drum sounds during Mastermind winner interviews. It sounds ridiculous if they get a chatty winner. 90 seconds of boom, rat tat tat, boom, rat tat tat…better still, cut the interviews entirely. We all know we should “give it a try and apply”

Yes, somehow they managed to dumb down Bullseye. Blockbusters was good - Holness asked questions right up til the whistle and it started again the next day on the next question. Still time given to find out what Tim would do in his gap year before the Gold runs.

Listened to this recently, Tim. A real love letter to a great show. I do recall being very excited about it and my Mum telling me it would be magical. Loved the first episode, including asking what “ha, ha, what?” meant. Think the series dragged a bit for me until the great ending though.

Brilliant series, and a great concept they should extend to other talents. Imagine a Seven of One with someone like Kieran Hodgson or Ripping Yarns with Bridget Christie. I still find myself quoting Natural Born Quizzers all too often.

I think that was the joke? Yeah, very interesting routines. The most natural comedian won, I guess. Traces of old Jo Brand and Jack Dee observations that were ready to make a comeback :)

I might be stuck in the last century, but how can a dive outside the box ever be a penalty?

My view on Donald Trump's empty, unenforcable even if it happens suing of the BBC, is that the BBC should do a massive documentary on Epstein and all the Presidents... sorry people, involved.

Well, you wait until it feels right and then push down firmly 🤣

Try living in Aberdeen. The last train home from Glasgow would leave half way through the support act. Since I have to stay in a hotel overnight for most gigs nowadays, I don’t really mind if they finish late :)

Erm, so Mariah Carey and Wham! are already in the UK top 100. Who on earth is listening to Christmas songs in late October?

Can’t do any more of that new version of #bullseye - felt like a local Rotary Club version

Subbed my lads out of my FPL team this week and didn’t dare to dream, but just 45 mins away from going second. Just great to see! #safc

Definitely a remix I think. Not the weak as piss 96 version either.
