Missed it (only read this at 6.10) .... or did I dodge a bullet?  ;)

Wait, wait! There's still Channel 5 +1, isn't there?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Well done, sorry you lost! But are you willing to reveal which one you were?  Assuming you aren't an egghead, of course........

Bad luck.  I wouldn't have watched though as I avoid anything that has that prick Jeremy Vine in it.

Well I hope you had fun on the day, but missed seeing you as I've only just picked up this thread. As for Jeremy Vine, the less said the better...

How long ago did you go and film it?

I missed it, partly as I've only seen the update this morning. And partly as I was having a little nap in an armchair at around that time yesterday, as I'd been out for a long bike ride (not sure why a nap was needed, made me feel old!)

If anyone would like to watch it - it is still available on My5 - Channel 5's digital service - episode 45 (I think!)

I was indeed the overdressed one.

I was actually asked 6 questions; 4 and 5 were cut, I assume for timing. So I got 5 out of 6 right.
