So, as I prepare to head off to Italy for a well-deserved break, let's see what is coming up in Week 19 of this series:

At the end of this week, we could (at last) be crowning our 3rd octochamp of the series, but that's only if Stuart Wright can win all 5 shows this week, and after 2 good performances on Wednesday & Thursday, you'd probably say he has a fair chance, but after Friday's lucky escape, you'd say, "slightly dubious", but we'll wait and see.

Back in DC this week, after a gap of nearly 3 years, is the soprano superstar, Lesley Garrett.

Join Graeme for the recap later on.

A particularly sad loss for Stuart as that score will put him at the present number 9 seed by 8 points. Still could be the alternate, but no finals for him under regular circumstances.

I hope my mate Alistair is okay and it was just an error in the listing magazine that James read, as the guest this week
is Lesley Garrett. Assuming that was a morning show, I can empathise with Stuart for not being able to do maths
at that time of day.

Actually, I'll blame my internal sources for that cock-up, mixing up those 2. Alastair will be on in 2 weeks time.

TONALITE in round 1, DOURNESS in round 3, ANNULET in round 4, SONICATE in round 6, DIATOMS/MASTOID in round 11, LEAKERS/REFUELS in round 12 and PIROGEN/PONGIER in round 13.
