The host slumps on the floor of the studio, wearily. He says "...this body is wearing a bit thin..." and suddenly, his face is bathed in a strange, bright light. The features change, distort and reassemble into the unfamiliar countenance of a complete stranger....(have i been watching too much classic british sci-fi series episodes.)

I've just noticed that Snockerty Friddle has suggested me.
I am, frankly, deeply appalled by the suggestion that I've *not* done drugs, slept with prostitutes and in a threesome.
I demand an apology.

Okay - we're all very sorry that you've *not* done drugs, slept with prostitutes and in a threesome.

Well, Paul Merton looked incredibly uncomfortable presenting... I don't think he quite knew what was happening... though it was funny... especially Ross Noble, who is completely and utterly mad.

Yeah, Paul Merton did a pretty good job in a rather difficult position. Better than Angus at the adlibs, I thought, but not so good at delivering the autocue lines.
We miss him on the left wing though.

So is this a final admission to the Bill / Monika / Blueshark love triangle?

No, but he did a book signing in ottakars in sunderland (his very good new book sahara), a book shop where I often eat lunch. I walked into the bookshop, as the right honourable genius Mr palin was standing up from his book signing table and putting his scarf on. Unfortunately, I was reading the paper while walking and walked into mr Palin, knocking him off-balance.

Admittedly not many, but some.
