    Well, quite. For the shareholders it is a serious matter and they are entitled to ask whatever questions they deem appropriate.

    The rest of us are just watching a bunch of lads kick an inflated sphere about. It's nothing to get excited about.

    I'm wearing my pragmatic head today.

    Oh, I agree. As you know, I'm even less likely than you to get myself excited about it. However, I just felt Monty's tone a tad misplaced and felt the need to pull him up on it.

    Is it Decline and Fall again tonight? It's on at the same time as the Saxon violence thing, I think.

    I'm not sure, I've got it set to record. glw out tonight, so I need to decide which lump of meat I'm going to experiment with. So far I have Komadoed a leg of lamb (slow roast with smoke) and some fat rib-eyes (seared then finished over indirect heat.) Both results have been marvellous. (The steaks might have benefitted from 30 seconds less cooking.) Perhaps I should try some pigflesh.

    It's on Friday nights I think. Finally saw the second half of episode one last night. Quite superb

    Isn't it, though? I'm very pleasantly surprised by how good Jack Whitehall is, I must admit. Well first I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't feel my usual strong urge to strike him and then was impressed by his acting.

    In the few episodes of Fresh Meat I saw he was good but basically playing himself. Cracking cast around him - even Yara Greyjoy is good

    Yes, I liked Fresh Meat but, as you say, he was simply an extension of his stage persona.

    The chap playing Captain Grimes was especially good. Douglas Hodge, was it?

    It's each to their own, innit. You like television; is that not just a game, a play?
