This is the first evidence for a long time that the BBC are taking this project seriously!

It's great, but as Matt alluded to, the same list over the first two weekdays (and now presumably over a weekend) takes the gloss off rather.

Isn't there a fairly obvious and low effort way to update it too? If the previous day's FP three Entries were added to the top of the list and three at the bottom taken off, this would produce a minimum-effort daily rolling list. It would be fresh, but running a day behind would also mean that people discovering h2g2 through W+W would find three different Entries on the FP if they clicked the link.
