You handed out gongs on DOI, why not on SCD, I was asked. I did, I replied. But I didn't have a blog then. Here you go.

Some will make sense, some won't (unless you read the SCD forum).

Kate Garraway, for her hilarious behind the scenes sketch after being voted out, reminding us the meaning of ‘Light’ entertainment. Nice one.

SCD does Jane Austen - Brilliant, the Beeb should publish it alongside the DVD Boxed set we all want. More money for CIN, more fun for us!

Why oh why oh why did the producers not think of ANY of this?
