So, what happened then? I saw the handover to Russel Grant's Postcards but I was half asleep!

Midway through their interview with Kerry McFadden, the show falls off air and we're brought a slide and apology in sound.

Cue an unscheduled edition of Russell Grant's Postcards Rolling Eyes ...after which the slide comes up again, with an announcement, then we return to the show as if we'd just come in from a break.

Thanks for that... interesting after they came back from the fault they gave a minute to T&G to apologise and then went straight to a break!

Interesting choice of filler programme too.. but I suppose that is the only short programme that Five really have isn't it? Obviously no music to hand to play over the slide so a mad dash to the programme library to pick that out!

Looks like it was probably a link failure from Westminster to Five, if they had time to play a full 5 minute programme it obviously wasn't a button that had been pressed by mistake.

Has that DOG with the website address always been there?

It wasn't there the other day. Looks like a new addition this week,

Damn It, I missed it, I was watching it until 11.05, but then I had to go to college, but to be honest anyway Kerry's interview wasn't that good. But I have so say what Danny Baker said at the beginning was rather amusing, about how they made jokes about their ITV rival, and how they never run out of Fern jokes. But did anyone see Dave Spikey's interview as I wanted to see that, but as said I had to go. but was it good?

One fact I didn't know about Dave Spikey is his stint on ITV gameshow, Chain Letters.

I remember Jeremy Beadle, Andrew O'Connor and some dodgy geezer doing it, apparently there was 4 presenters in all so I'm hoping he wasn't the dodgy geezer.
