Apologies to John Sergeant for spelling his name wrong. (I don't work for the BBC)

Dean, you've surprised me.  I hadn't realised that Kiwi men could be so smooth!

 

Good blog, although I was more impressed with Ruth Jones than you were.

I was also concerned that Nick may have been tempted to overplay his part, but as you suggest, either he has kept himself in check, or the editorial team have done a good job. 

So far, so good. I enjoyed the first week and am even softening my feelings toward Sue Perkins, especially when she gives us one of her genuine smiles.

One thing that did grate for me was John Sargent's strategy in the fifth programme.  I found it too jokey and I felt he tried to play (and appeal) to the audience too much.

Hope you're keeping well,

Steve
