Anyone watching?

I had forgotten how incredibly cringe-worthy Gemma's 'tour' of Hever Castle was. Painful.

Is this a repeat as I wondered why no one had started a thread ?!?!

First time I've seen it anyway!

Hellooooooooooooooo!

Can't believe how many of the candidates I have forgotten! Perhaps I am getting old!

It was truly dreadful - my teenage daughters (who've both done/are doing Tudor history for A Level) could have given a more informative tour without any swotting up!

A shame Nick is leaving, but don't blame him - my own father, at 70, was ready to really slow down, and he's not on TV! Nick is still relatively young for an OAP (these days) so good luck to him in enjoying his life the way he wants to! (Probably mostly in France!)

I prefer to lie to myself and say it's because they ain't memorable.

That and something else that I've forgotten........

Sitting in the sunshine, drinking wine and listening to the crickets as the breeze blows gently across the hills. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Not just you. I have been sitting here thinking "I don't remember you" for several of them.

Gosh James really was so unlikeable.

Someone was suggesting that Roisin was the nasty one after this episode. I can only think they were his mum or best mate!

"Yes it's your advice, but what do I want to do?"

Who else had the urge to punch him at that point?

I have a shorter title using only four letters and starting with a "C".

If I'd have been Roisin I'd have shoved him out of the car and left him in the gutter. Selfish, immature little man

The thing was that he was aggressive and ignorant with her for the entire day. How she resisted hopping on one of those lawn mowers and running the little git down I'll never know.

Me also! Businesses do it everyday - They change things and make substitutions and as long as it meets the spec that they have agreed to, it's OK in most cases and they are fully legally covered in any case as they have supplied what was agreed.

Lord Alan was plainly wrong.

Will people stop whinging about it. It didn't fulfil the spec as it wasn't anatomically correct. There are all sorts of named bumps and grooves on bones that couldn't be on the paper skeleton. As a simple overview of a skeleton, the paper would have been ok, but not as an anatomically correct one.

Only wish LS kept James in just for Claude vs James.
