Daily Mirror shitposting. It was never good, but somehow, them, the Mail (cricket articles aside), and the Express have somehow got even worse recently.

I happened to be the contestant in the Five Words, Five Grand section on The Dave Berry Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio this morning.
You can see how I did here, go to 19:45.

Keep plugging away. Have you tried for Impossible? They are a great bunch of people, plus it's a very winnable show and you get up to five chances to win the daily ten grand jackpot.James Robinson wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 9:43 pmYeah, I haven't been on one for 2 years now, not getting any luck at all...Phil Reynolds wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 6:50 pmSeven, according to his Apterous wiki page, so fewer than Dinos, Ryan, me, and probably a few others.Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 10:58 am

Was it a repeat ?
You was certainly one of the best contestants I've seen recently , personality wise.
I got the last question right because I've been to Singapore and they don't have a racetrack.
Well not in 1986 at least.
Nice of The Beast to say the team would have won with you in it.

Why thank you! It was a repeat, initially shown March 2016. No idea it was going to be shown until someone spotted it and told me. In hindsight, Singapore is far too small to have its own full race track, but I only had enough time to think "WHERE THE HELL IS MONACO" about three times before having to pull something out. Ah well, no regrets.

New BBC One daytime quiz show, The Tournament, starts 8 November at 2:15 on BBC One, and runs for 5 weeks. Shireen Ahmed appeared on 16 November and is available to watch on iPlayer. If she doesn’t win the whole show, she gets one more chance in the following episode (as do all other eliminated contestants) on 17 November.

Graham Nash was on The 1% Club on Saturday 21st May 2022. He made it all the way to the second to last round, but got a relatively easy question wrong and so didn't make it to the final question. p.s. I still haven't forgiven him for beating Julian Fell.
