Yes, I think sometimes shows broadcast in one series can be recorded
over the full 12 months so it's not like a regular series recording,
but surely just writing the subjects down as you record them would
help? There shouldn't really be a situation where you run out of ideas
within 1 or 2 years.

It's not so bad with a bit of time between it, especially if you've
got different players. When they recorded in Manchester earlier this
year they used 'Old Trafford', which I'm almost certain was used last
time they recorded here with Arthur Smith, but as that was in 1994 (I
think!) it doesn't really matter as the subject is dealt with in a
different way.

I'm more amused with the fact it's straightforward repetition rather
than even a variation on a theme. But if different people can take it
in different directions then it's all fine with me!

PS: Herbaceous borders is in my humble opinion the funniest couple of
minutes on radio....possibly only rivalled by Jeremy Hardy singing.
