It happened a lot in the seventies, and it seemed almost to become an
irritant for the likes of Freud and Jones - I remember hearing an
edition recently from series 8 in which PJ challenged Nimmo, Nicholas
couldn't decide whether to award the subject to him, so he insisted
on asking the audience, despite Peter Jones's pleas to let Derek
continue. I think NP, being the showman that he is, always liked to
include the audience.

Kenneth used to like it, mainly because nine times out of ten the
audience would side with him! This possibly partly explains why the
other panellists found it tiresome.
