    I enjoyed it. A bit slow on the spelling out the longest place names bit, but it did segue nicely into the pub quiz anecdote and the fun facts. Was stunned by that sentence! :o

    Thought it was good but not as good as last week.
    He spent too long on the "Fun Facts" IMO :)

    Because of 'that' expression I learnt that the original meaning of 'proof' is to test :D

    I get the impression that the celeb guy makes up his gossip feed and then hopes that people don't see it or don't pull him up on it.

    Pretty sure he could be done for libel if a person took enough umbridge with one of his statements.

    Well Phillip Schofield certainly seemed to be heading toward action - still I expect he was a bit niggly, what with giving up smoking and all:D

    Neil Sean isn't happy with that segment on the show. I do think he has taken it too seriously.

    Good. I doubt that it`ll shame him into changing his conduct though. Shame is a concept that died in the mid-90s in this country as far as I can tell.

    I really thought Neil's book (I'd never heard of him) was a badly photoshopped made up book until Dave showed it :D

    Good episode this week with Dave taking the piss out of Neil Sean and writing silly letters to the Royals.

    I've often seen Sean's "Green Room" column in the Metro but even a cursory glance at his column is enough to bring one to the edge of tedium. It's such a load of utterly inconsequential nonsense. Good to see Phil Schofield caught him out for printing an untrue story.

    Neil Sean is not happy...

    Dread to think what someone else is going to think with one of the episodes I saw :p

    Dave put him in his place though :D
    Incidentally, one of the shows in St. Albans (I'm going to see it) is sold out as well :D

    Very good show last night I thought, one of my favourites

    Whole thing was basically a wind up though! I was thinking the QR code could have somehow read some data of your sim card in order to display your house from Google Maps, seemed possible to me

    Great show.

    Read a few tweets to him after the show that were tweeted during it pointing out that it was HM The Queen. :D

    Surely people should know to only point out mistakes to him afterwards as he usually has a reason for making such obvious mistakes.

    What mistake didn't he mention that? and that his cat was HRH which queenie isn't?

    The whole QR code thing reminded me of Ubisoft's interactive campaign for the launch of the Watchdogs video game, in which with very little detail they were able to gather a lot of your facebook details and build up a report on you.

    The details of the whole campaign are quite well documented in this article:-
