So, Jeff's replacement has been named as The Apprentice's Nick Hewer. It will be interesting to see his "dry wit and humour" when he takes over on January 9 next year.

In the meantime, let's get back to Jeff, who has just 23 shows to go before we say goodbye to him.

Our champion, Paul Keane, is now a half-octochamp, although it's fair to say that his performances have dipped a shade since last week. Will he perk up today

Join me later for the Robinson Recap.

I wouldn't have known who he was if I hadn't seen him on Would I Lie To You (on one of the few times I've watched that) - he seemed confident and more than willing to enter into the spirit of the thing. I think he might do quite well, based on that showing.

Oh, seems like I've doubled the number of replies in this thread, which probably sums up the excitement of today's game. Not a classic, though I'm appreciating John Parrott's efforts to find words himself, and his acknowledging Susie's word-spotting.
