    Help - we need Dennis back. I like the other two, but without Dennis their bad habits become much more obvious. For example, they don’t bother hiding how amusing they find themselves. Dennis had way too much style to laugh at his own wit - it’s incredibly poor form. So, in short, it’s still a fun show, but it’s now more like a washer-women’s debating society; it has an edge when Dennis was there.

    Beware the 8 June episode in which someone, quite inexplicably, rubs a biro against their microphone throughout. I kept praying someone would tell him to stop. Otherwise, great work
