I have a newfound admiration for the talents of Lee Mack and David Mitchel, who do a great job of getting the most out of some pretty dull guests. We had Alice Roberts and two other people who I cannot even remember. Nothing against them, but retelling anecdotes in an effective comedic fashion is definitely not their forte. Mack and Mitchel both had to put in a serious shift.

However, we did have a real treat in that the fourth guest panellist was Bob Mortimer. He is brilliant and the edited highlights you may have seen of him on earlier editions don’t even come close to what you get in the studio.

Was looking at that, might see if I can catch it.

Went to see The Unfriend at The Criterion earlier in the week. Cracking comedy from Stephen Moffat with a great cast and performances. Highly recommended.

Sam Smiths entrance at The Brits.

At least all the haters don't have to worry about which toilets they will be using.

Well Bill hardly has a scene with Joel and Ellie so it felt like a bit of a waste and from what i recall, a deviation from the game plot, not that its sacred or anything.

Feels odd when I spent hours exploring derelict buildings and cities, stealthily and brutally killing infected to have that largely erased from the tv show thus far.
