Chris Cummins was on the winning Strategists team on the show.
Also, I beat Derek Hazell to making the thread on it :lol:
Edit : Didn't realise he left

Funny you should mention that, I spotted him at Cambridge station on Saturday morning. I took a quick snap for the wankbank:

Did he know you were there? It seems a bit of a coincidence that you happened to have a recent photograph of him. I think you're stalking him. You come across him rather a lot. Well at least one other time anyway. Something about him looking like a frog.

Do you actually know each other/have you met?

Also, I really need to ditch IE8. It cuts off the side of the picture - the bit with him in! (As well as having other rubbish properties). But apathy prevents me from doing so.

He didn't, no, I just thought it'd be amusing to get photographic evidence, and was quite happy to be a bit creepy for the purpose of the joke.

So were you just waiting for an opportunity to use it? Lucky one came up!

What is Only Connect. What channel, time and date? I could watch it online then.

Edit: Found it via a quick google search before Charlie tells me off :P

Spoilers!! Oh my god, Cummins didn't recognise 2nd November 1982! Poor form.

The repeat is on BBC Four at 1:40am, so just over an hour from now. Or just watch it on the iPlayer.

Only Connect is brilliant, although I do have quite a soft spot for Victoria Coren, which helps.

Incidentally, the captain (or bloke in the centre, anyway) of last night's losing team, Alan Morgan, is another serial TV quizzer, who beat me in the final round on my first day's appearance on "A Question Of Genius" last year. Unfortunately, on that day, he failed on his specialist subject question (on New York) so went home empty-handed.

He beat me in the People's Quiz too. And he won some money on The Fuse last year. I don't know how he manages to get through so many auditions - I'd love to know his secret.

Likewise though it definitely isn't soft - bit of a turn on that she is actually a professional poker player too. Kinda sexy and dangerous like that niece of the MP that slit the throat of the French bloke.

Her book is a totally excellent read. I was a fan of hers before but even more so after I read it.
