The Congo is "split" into the DRC and the Republic of the Congo. There's no country just called Congo.
The Republic of Congo IS Congo.

So, now that we know that there is definitely a second series, who will be applying for it? James Robinson possibly, and maybe some of our game show regulars? Sue? Kirk? Dinos? Phil? Also, you have to think of someone quite knowledgeable to pair up with. It's a good show, so a few tweaks and seeing someone you know on there could make it great.
Edit: Just noticed a typo, so may as well add Phil's name and pretend it was there all along.

You forgot me.
I've applied on behalf of HWMBO and me, but I'm not getting my hopes up as I've not had much luck at game show auditions the last couple of years. Plus the new series of
Pointless is being recorded in January and I'll be unavailable for much of that month due to being in a play.

Not us sadly! The filming is in January and we're away for most of the month!

Alexander Armstrong is playing Clive Sinclair in Micro Men at 2100 on BBC4 tonight. Radio Times describes it as a "comedy drama".

Well, that's the usual spectrum his work falls into.

I can't wait to see that. The promo looks well interesting, especially that clip of Armstrong in the C5!
Personally can't wait for The Armstrong & Miller Show on BBC One at 2130 next Friday.

Yeah I read about this in Edge a while back and had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder, should be worth a look.
Oh, and here's the article.
