      CB-H has been on it too. Do you think this is R3's route to its target audience? It'll be I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! next.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        excellent knowledge FF.
        Research? Business or pleasure?
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

          FF claims not to have a telly but I bet she's really got a huuuuge flatscreen and is glued to every reality show going!



          ..... not!!!


          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Hers or mine? It's noted on her Wikipedia (!?) page: "She appeared on Pointless celebrities in December 2013, getting to the head to head but losing out 2-1, thus not reaching the final round." I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the assertion.

            Even the thought of a huuuuge flatscreen gives me the vapours

                Come to think of it, it is a bit odd to have two of Radio 3's most high profile presenters on Pointless Celebrities within such a short space of time. Perhaps a notice went up on the Radio 3 staff notice board calling for volunteers. It'll be Tom Service next month.

                    Not suggesting that TS is a Pointless Celebrity, but he seems up for anything to boost R3's image - like his stand-up comedy routine for whatever Good Cause it was. Radio 3 people are game for a bit of fun ...

                      If pre-qualification is necessary, Sean Rafferty wouldn't need to try very hard
                      I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                        Is he a celebrity?

                            It all started a few years back when Radio 3 was required to take part in BBC Radio's corporate response to Red Nose Day/Children In Need, I think.

                              I've only ever seen the last couple of minutes of this show before the news at 6, and don't really understand it, but isn't the point of it for the contestant to be enough of a smartarse to come up with something obscure enough that the stupid audience don't think of it? In which case.....

                              Perhaps I've misunderstood completely, but please don't bother to enlighten me
