These (when they're done) 672 episodes have revitalised the show, which did seem to be heading in the doldrums of sorts with no direction at all. But, this show has turned a corner and returned to a higher level of importance thanks to then partnership of Jeff & Rachel, and hopefully when Nick Hewer replaces Jeff in 4 weeks time, he will continue this upward trend.
In the meantime, let's see if we can give Jeff a good send-off with a brilliant finish to the series finals, and if the first 2 quarter-finals are anything to go by, we're in for a treat.
