Ah yes, you’re right, “stage” was indeed repeated. Although I listened to Tennant’s round three times before I still missed it! My excuse is that “stage” was used as a verb “how you stage this” and repeated as a noun “with a stage technology”, and I imagine because of this that one mentally would perceive them as two different words even they are the same word. Well, this is what I say to myself anyway!

I’m going to show my total ignorance by asking, what is PM please?

I haven’t listened to many of the 90s shows so I’ll keep my ears open as it were next time when listening!

Best

JAM got another mention on PM Radio 4, or rather the listeners' comments IPM today Friday.

One person suggested they find the show where Ross Noble mentions a donkey.

Must have been the Canterbury Show when they were discussing the Canterbury Tales, a show made famous in the TV documentary about JAM using cuts from that show and indeed interviews with the panellists whist on the train, I think, to that town.

I still fantasise about making a spreadsheet of wrong challenges for repetition, who they were made by, and whether Nic was right or wrong in his recall, and who suffered if they lost the subject wrongly, or who suffered if they failed incorrectly to win the point, and who wrongly won the point.

Sometime I think Nic goes with the flow dependent on audience feedback. Mention and mentioned is a common mischallenge.

Nic's Cat Cat's ruling was infamous, ruling that to repeat part of a word was also repetition - whiskers whisk defence. Which of course is nonsense.

Clement's summary of Nic in that TV documentary says it all. He is a showman.

Incidentally the Tennant PM re-edit suggested he repeated "stage". Still available on iplayer if you look for my earlier message from that day.

Great how Nic has got us all chatting again!!!
