K.J the 3 clue recordings were in london southampton and newcastle so i don;t think they were too london-centric . they only have 6 recording dates a year . check out the upcoming tour though the dates are a lot more spread out .

i was lucky enough to have got a ticket for the last of the 3 recordings presented by rob brydon . it was brillaint. i laughed until my belly hurt . the format is bascially the same as always but there was enough of a difference to keep it interesting .

of all the presenters i am not sure about jack dee though . i never much cared for him . a friend of mine was at his recording and said he was very very nervous . i hope that will be sorted a bit when the producer sits down to do the edit . he is doing the tour and therefore must be the most likely to take the chair permantently . i wonder is he almost too humph like but will reserve judgement until i hear his show . i know stphen fry has heaps of commitments from reading his twitter page and rob brydon is on tour this autumn . it is a pity in a way .

tim brooke taylor is a really nice guy. 10 of us from the same goodies message board went to the newcastle recording ( it was'nt planned that way it was the only show we could all get tickets for !) . after the show we all went to the stage door . when everyone came out a very pushy lady form the theatre was there trying to get the perfomers into nearby taxis .all of them stayed for as long as they could and were really nice but the lady was geting rather forceful . tim stayed the longest talking to all of us and was happy to pose for phoots too ( proofs on my facbook page in the photo file the saucy gibbon get together !)

cheers
