Giles Brandreth stood in for Nicholas on a couple of occasions last year or the year before. Were there any unbroadcast try-outs?

There was series 2 or 3 when they rotated the chair, and there were several odd occasions when Nicholas took to the panel up until the early 80s. But I think Nicholas outlived everyone other than Gikes who chaired against him as panelist.

Wasn't it about a year ago or more that there was a long discussion about a replacement for Nicholas -- when he was having some health issues? I seem to think there were a few "tryouts" with other hosts.... whatever came of those?

I'm sure the producers have been thinking about this for a very long time. But it would be very difficult for anyone to step in right after Nicholas. I would think any replacement, no matter how long it has been after Nicholas' death, would have a difficult time of it; they would be quickly replaced by someone else, and they would provide that 'buffer'. We do that with political leaders quite often.
