Omg! Ive got to listen to this one. It seems my concern for Nicholas hasnt been unwarranted. I mean there have been other occasions where it seemed that he didnt know what was going on, but this sounds serious. No doubt if Derek Nimmo were still around he`d comment about Nicholas being ready to be `shipped off to the twilight home`. I know ive railed against the old boy, but perhaps this is the time the BBC should seriously begin considering finding a replacement for Nicholas. If Nick is showing signs of mental disarray, it can only get worse as the series proceeds. I may not like Nick as a chairman, but i do respect and admire his loyalty and dedication to the program over the years. The next few weeks could prove to be crucial to the program`s future. This could be the start of a major milestone even bigger than the passing of Kenneth Williams. Then again, perhaps its too soon to tell and we`ll just have to wait and see how the rest of the
series shapes up.

And, of course, the incident with "the lady in the white coat" (as Kirsty mentioned in her report) was left in although, in hindsight, it would have been difficult to remove it without losing the whole round.
