I was lucky to be invited by today's challenger and Apterite, Jason Turner, to be in the green room for this week's shows, and it was a great day in Salford (also boosted by the fact that my first Fifteen to One episode happened to be broadcast between the recordings of the last 2 shows.

When I met up with the current champion, James Penny, in the green room, and he told me he won a show with a score of 113 without a 9, I was very impressed.

I'll let you be the judge, but I think this week's shows are all decent, and it was certainly good to be in the studio again, after not being there since the Series 69 finals last November.
The delightfully debonair Anton du Beke is in DC this week, after a 5 year gap.

And with me being busy in Glasgow in midweek, Andy has graciously allowed me to switch recaps with him this week, so he'll be doing my Wednesday slot, while I'll be doing it today.
