At 77, Harry would be about 101 today. So David Webb and Carol are probably the only survivors from this show. Potentially there could be games where only Carol is left.

Is David channelling Julian Clary?
After Harry declared GROUT the first 2 rounds I was hoping for the 3rd selection to give him the opportunity to land the hat-trick,alas it was not to be.
Harry Grout of course was Norman Stanley Fletcher's nemesis in Porridge.

It's interesting that Richard said that David was good at the numbers, because I don't think he has been. He's doing maths research (well he was in 1991) but he's also a scrabbler, and it seems that the scrabble trumps the maths research (scrabblers often being poor at the numbers).

He was also in the 30th Birthday special thing where he lost his only game to Darryl Francis, missing two of the three (gettable) numberses, costing him the game.

David is a smart chap, he spotted a flaw on the Bob Holness Raise the Roof game show, I think he went on to win a house.

Oh, that was him, was it?? I remember watching the show, "Game Show Losers", the night before my first audition 13 years ago, and that was shown on it. :)
