This was recorded before all the contract shenanigans, it's worth noting.

HAHA! I like it You even put my name first! Although the future of my status as recapper is uncertain. I await my university timetable hoping for a not-so-hectic Tuesday. Will try and make things work but if I can't, I shall bequeath full recapping duties to you, Mike, to share or keep to yourself as you wish.

edit: Is each Tuesday episode reshown early Friday morning? If all else fails I might be able to manage that with the power of caffeine.

Is each Tuesday episode reshown early Friday morning? If all else fails I might be able to manage that with the power of caffeine.

Yes. At about 5:15 a.m. And, of course, at about 6:15 on Channel 4+1. See here for fuller details.
