That Jo Caulfield challenge on the topic of rats was hilarious... I was walking to work listening to my MP3 player and attracted a fair few stares whilst walking along giggling to myself.

Oh well, what can you do - it's a great start to the day to arrive at the office grinning inanely!

The folder contains the first two series in full, all the episodes of Series 3 that have been broadcast so far plus the pilot and a Christmas special.

I quite like Will Self normally but I think he turned this one a bit too high brow and his "lecture" was almost impossible to follow. The only thing I worry about is that if, like "Clue", they record two episodes at once then we potentially have another similarly weak one left to be broadcast.
