So, we're into the first part of Finals Week this week. Well, it doesn't start til Thursday, but that's not bad, when you consider that we might have 3 more days of our champion in action.

And that champion, who has now guaranteed his place in the finals, is Jonathan Rawlinson, who is currently in the #6 spot, although he only needs to win with a score of 29 points or more to jump up to 4th place.

He won't let us down..............surely

Back in DC, after a 1 episode stint in a special last year is the ex-GMTV presenter, turned novelist, Penny Smith.

Join Graeme for the recap later.

As expected, I've discovered my mother likes Jonathan. She might be 79, but she still always goes for a nice smile.

PHONATE in the PHAETON round. Even MM ever appeared here, I'd be struggling to find a picture of that for him.

MISCUE as equal in R4 (QUICKS round) and LABOUR as beater in R8 (CABAL round).

Loved the way EPILATOR(S) appeared twice.

Rachel did make life hard for herself in R5. Far simpler was (100+25+9)x7=938

That would be nice, but there was no R there, so a bit of a BLOB.

OPERANT/PRAETOR in round 2, PHONATE in round 6, FUNDIE in round 9, TEMPORAL in round 11 and FORELEG in round 12.

Ah it was two Bs - one of them definitely looked like an R this afternoon. LABOUB then for 0.

Simpler is relative. She made use of the 937.5 rule, which I'm sure means she got there very easily.

INGENUES in r1.
