It is my opinion - and I have to be very careful what I say here for boring reasons - is that a move towards extracts rather than packages trails might not be a terrible thing again, because three extracts which change every week is better in some cases than running the same trail for three weeks.

Part of the reason being, of course, that there used to be more slides to talk over. (Not in that junction, seemingly). So by the time you've read over the slides, you don't want a lengthy programme introduction.

Yeah. I remember every joke landing like a dull thud of an impression of what might be theoretically considered funny, but isn’t.

Although interesting that I’ve just read an interview where she says she dislikes her performance in it. Mind you, she says the same about Fawlty Towers. Maybe just show 30 minutes of an apology card.

This is true, although oddly enough, despite the extended length of most of Series 2, The Anniversary is also only 29 minutes.
That's a bit of an odd one, though. It's *about* Sybil, and Prunella has some standout scenes, but she also disappears for a great deal of the episode.

Luckily, I already 100%ed the first Galaxy again on the Switch release a few years back, and not even I can justify buying it a third time!

Yep. I never managed it solo!
That bloody second Chimp Stop Challenge in Honeyhop was the nightmare so far.

I last played it in 2010. The only one I had to get two player help on was The Perfect Run, as I recall, but I'm finding it harder this time round, I think!

Most of it is in the instant reaction G&T DwarfCasts from the time. I’ve not listened to them in years!

I was once asked about that. It *was* very funny, I was never offended about that.
