@@TimesFM4532 OK I know I'm 4 months late to this but can we talk about that real quick? Specifically the way people claimed to be "shocked" by the accusations. I know "don't judge a book by its cover" is a thing but... I mean, we all saw the accusations coming a mile away, right? The way he chose to present himself, the jokes he made, everything. It would have been more shocking if people came out and said he _wasn't_ an alleged sex pest.

Oh good. Now Sunday is complete. Thank you.

Thank you for the upload.

Oh, man. You left out the "Charles to cement, come in, cement" exchange between Clive Anderson and Chris Addison. Clive's misunderstanding and Chris's embarrassment was one of the funniest bits of that particular episode. 😞 Apart from that, I want to say thank you for your weekly uploads of these compilations. I've watched as many of the episodes that were uploaded on KZread (and later removed from now-deleted accounts) for a little over a decade now. It's a joy for this American to see some of the events I remember seeing long ago (and some I've forgotten) all over again! So once again, I thank you!
