Not to mention the old repeats on UKG2. (Not sure what days but it seems to be the majority of the week)  
p.s. Was there an episode once where, to take the piss, paul Merton read Angus’ autoque?

I remember that episode, excellent stuff. The odd thing with watching the UK gold repeats is all the current event references…maybe they should show it on _The History Channel_😉

**gum** that’s wonderful news. There happens to be a TV in my kitchen at the moment, so I know where I’ll be at 23:45!

**22:45** not 23:45.

Oh well.
