No need to apologise, dylanpartyon, it's just one of those things. I blame Channel 4 myself.

I was close on my Volcano Live prediction! Not bad on my first go. Lets see how it unfolds throughout the week.

I'd just like to say thanks to Fudd for keeping this going. How did you come to taking this over? Were you the heir to the DS Ratings Prediction throne? It seems like such a big job so thank you Fudd and Dancc for running it in the past and to rzt. I didn't know you started it.

You could turn this into a game show on BBC Four.

I could have done worse last night. If Top Model on Living is not reported, the BBC3 show was a safe back up.

I have completed next week's schedule, there is a decent sport itinerary on the list. I left 2 out of 7 days free - Fudd can have a break during the week
