Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I had to laugh every time Roger Tilling said Birkbeck McMillan, it sounded like a chicken was in the studio

The UC 'celebrity' version last night had harder questions than usual I thought.

OC was good, the walls, I had the walls on the tip of my tongue but couldn't blurt it out quicker than them...

14 yo had spotted the Prime Ministers in the wall, of which I am suitably proud, though he only spotted Hatcher and Lair and we both missed Eel which is galling given the heritage of Peel.

Interesting, OS. Mr Ness and I thought UC was easier last night. We got quite a few answers. It'll be interesting to see if it's the same tonight.

Most confusing (but good) having quizzes on a Tuesday.

Ah. I see, OS. Mr Ness and I haven't got to watch the Xmas specials before. We've only watched the usual series because we've generally been away from the UK for Christmas. We're enjoying them this time round though.

I've just noticed that they've finally got Amol an appropriately sized chair for the Christmas specials.

He also seems to be relaxing into the role, which is nice.
