Yes, that episode along with one other are the only ones featuring ol' Stinker that I don't have at present.

another individual that I think was rather good on the program during the 80's was a woman by the name of Libby Purves, I know that she probably wasn't what some might deem as 'funny' but I found her very interesting to listen to, because she was very smart and articulate as well as informative and entertaining. she grasped onto the competitive side of the show but also had some good comments to make in the banter portion, in an almost Andree Melly type, not to mention that even though she was very logical in her challenges for deviation, most of the time she was overruled, in fact in one episode Nicholas was giving her the subject that she won legitimately, but once the audience turned on him he cowered and immediately gave it back to Clement. I believe the subject was 'The Mad Hatter's Tea Party'. She was also part of a rather interesting running gag during her second appearance, to which people kept on referring to the fact that she's 'just had a baby'.

I believe Libby Purves is or was a journalist of some reknown which is obviously what prompted her to being given the call to appear on the show. I wonder what she's up to?

I'd like to echo this sentiment wholeheartedly. I wish he had been
called earlier and for more episodes. For that matter, I wish his
appearance with Kenneth were available for posterity to enjoy!
