Yep that's it for this season as they are doing 12 shows.

David Mitchell did both of the last two shows and I am told was very
quick and clever - the shows became hugely competitive according to a
friend in the audience. He was more than a match for Paul and Clement.

On Robert Webb, I'm guessing I was the recipient of information which
confused the partners. Possibly Robert Webb is being lined up for next
season, but I think my first explanation is more likely.

Other points of interest in the season...

* Paul did all the shows while Clement did only half. He's only twice
before had less participation in a season.

* Kit Hesketh-Harvey isn't there after appearing in every winter season
since 1999.

* Marcus Brigstocke isn't there after appearing in all of the past five
seasons.

* Eighteen players in one 12 show season. Variety is the keyword it
seems - apart from having Paul on the left of the stage and Nicholas in
the middle...
