Test the Nation

I got 55 out of 70 if anyone is interested. I actually now only usually watch the Quiz of the Year at Christmas....so I only watched this because "Afterlife" is pants!

There was a list on the BBC Press Office site a few days back. Peter White was there for Radio Solent - shame it wasn't Nick Girdler.

Because some of us are still waiting for our verification emails to come through on The Lounge! Besides, THIS is TV Forum and the Lounge is for....random crap.

No Nick and Hymagumba (and anyone else concerned) there is a need for two seperate threads, as they are on seperate sites which have seperate owners. If you want to have your little protest threads over there then fine, but please do not disrupt TV Forum whilst you are doing so.

On the subject of Test the Nation I must admit I tuned in at the start the changed channel. I know there is little that they can do scheduling wise due to the other standard Saturday night programmes, but having it from 9:10-10:30pm conveniantly means if you are playing via the red button you cannot watch anything else between the rounds.

Who?

Indeed, says it all about BBC Radio Leeds really!

Just had a look, she presents "The New Black", Saturdays at 7pm on FM Only

How come some stations had more than one presenter taking part?
(I wanted to see Mollie, as well as Goldie, or maybe Danny Kelly, or Les Ross!)

(I know Tony & Julie come as a pair normally, plus if you were Julie, would you trust Waddo alone in London! Accoding to Goldie, who popped in to see Les Ross this morning, she started off a conga apparantly )

To fill the gaps made by any station that didn't want to take part, I assume? For example, I don't see anyone from Radio Cleveland in that list.

Had you bothered to engage your brain cell and read my post properly, before going off in a half-cocked frenzy, you would see that I was simply pointing people to additional information on the subject and not advising anyone against posting here.

If pointing to additional information in other places is no longer permitted, then I assume we must no longer link to news items on places such as Media Guardian or the BBC website when we post.
