Congratulations again, Dan! The second five-day champion of the revived series, I think, after Michael Hutchinson last year. It’s nice he’s won a decent sum for a British daytime quiz too.
Also nice to hear the cameo from General Melchett today.
The less said about my attempt at FJ today, the better!
See you on Monday when we have two challengers from the West Country.
