I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the appeal at seven tonight on Beeb One.

The server must have glitched about half way through and the content jumped BACK a few minutes producing the amazing wording "Ten pounds can buy enough high fibre biscuits to keep a family alive for 'click/glitch' twenty-four years".

No apology at the end, no nothing. Just straight into Airport.

By the way, when the phrase came round the second time, the ten pounds worth of biscuits kept the family alive for ONE DAY.

LOL yes I saw that, I thought by the way the words fitted in it was done on purpose or something.

Like a Life line type of appeal? Was it supposed to be on then?

Not scheduled, just popped in at the last minute.

Dead Ringers fans will understand if I simply say it was for the librarians!

What's the harm in repeating what is to me worthy of repeating, intentional or otherwise?

Because it was very confusing?

What has happened to his voice, he never used to sound like that did he?

He was trying to do "serious and meaningful" and failed, I think.

Sounded very thespian, didn't he? It's like listening to Pam St. Clement, what plays Pat Butcher in EastEnders. She talks completely differently in real life as well.

He always sounded like that in real life. The Grant Mitchell accent was put on (s'called acting).

Well imagine that. They're called actors (or actresses) you know. Rolling Eyes

Yep - it ran at least twice on BBC Three, and I think twice on BBC One?
