We're now at the start of Series 64, as we start the search, which will presumably go on til June, to find the next series champion.
Maybe we've already seen him, as Mike Pickering returns after winning the last 2 prelims of Series 63, but will a month off mean he's not back up to speed yet..... We'll soon see.
In DC for the start of the New Year, is the brilliant comedian (I should know, I've met him.

Before I go, just a couple more pointers for you all.
1. Today, the show switches dictionaries. Out goes the 2nd Edition Revised of the OED, and in comes the 3rd Edition of the OED. (If anyone knows some words that have come in and out, please feel free to share with us all.)
2. Remember also, that the show isn't starting at 3:25pm today. You'll have to be ready a quarter of an hour earlier from now on for its 3:10pm start.
