Nice to see Susie make an appearance on Great British Menu with a Dr. Samuel Johnson themed dessert. 8-) 8-)

Did this week’s Only Connect get a mention, as there was a Gogglebox question on it... :?: :?:

That was part of a seemingly random tribute to Marcel Stellman, which you can see here (timestamp 41:14) https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m ... t-04052021

The Not the Andrew Marr Show YouTube channel has a done a Not the Rachel Riley Show featuring a mini game of Countdown. Well worth a watch.

Edit - Also this is a fairly long discussion about Riley's MBE and what it represents. Quite good though.

Edit 2 - And let's not forget that she essentially got an MBE for being a twat:

Not exactly a show, but Bolton Wanderers just used Jeff Stelling-era Countdown to announce the signing of a useless player…

I can say he’s useless, cos Town have had him for 5 months, in which he played 6 times, starting just 3, and in one of them, he played so bad that he basically helped concede 3 goals and was subbed at halftime…

That was about five times as long as it needed to be.

A bit like his stint at Huddersfield, by the sounds of it.
