Lol, that is the moment I always remember most from series 1....classic stuff. Hard to believe people actually buy such tat, but there you go...
As I recall, SAS later said he regretted his firing of Miriam. I think he liked Pauls bulldog spirit, but I think in retrospect he felt he made the wrong call. For me though, she wasn't that strong a candidate in this task, so it was pretty much a 50/50 call.
Just to add, though we haven't always agreed with each others views, it's been a pleasure watching this series with you...happy Christmas and all that!!!
The series link I had on picked up all the other episodes, but not that one.
