I'm not sure it's the oddest, but I just downloaded the Chris Addison
episode and while he was an excellent panelist, the show seemed the
closest to chaos since the one Ian chaired. Even Clement, coming in
on the first subject with three seconds to go, said, "I haven't
spoken yet!" with more animation than he had in the previous 39 years
combined.
