Good luck to all participants at the Rose d’Or’s tonight. I think 5 Gold Rings has the best shout of winning, but I don’t think you can rule out Sorry About That on its previous form. I wrote a guide to the runners and riders here.

Edit: Congrats to Sorry About That. Can’t win ‘em all.

I’ve got a letter here from TV’s David Bodycombe:

EDIT: David thanks you for your interest, places have been filled.

Go to it, punters.

In other news it also looks like Cash Trapped might be looking for contestants although this doesn’t as yet appear on the ITV Be On TV page, so make of that what you will.

Edit: A lot of people seem surprised by this, but the reality is CT was doing almost 2m an episode as a Summer Chase replacement across four weeks. I don’t think its return was ever really in doubt, the issue was finding time in Brad’s hectic schedule (between the seven-eight months Doctor Who takes and the three plus months The Chase takes) to make more I suspect.

This week’s excitement is that there’s a new podcast launching on Friday! Fingers on Buzzers features The Chase‘s Jenny Ryan and comic Lucy Porter discuss all things quiz with interviews promised with quiz talent and production.

The feed should already be up on your podcast provider of choice. You can follow them on Twitter @FingersBuzzers, and the website is fingersbuzzers.com.

In other news, the Taskmaster book is alright but feels a bit… lightweight? Was hoping for and expecting more behind the scenes stuff I think. Also a large amount of the tasks seem to involve defacing the book. Will be intrigued to know how many people turn up for the Taskmaster tour task suggested.

The more observant of you may notice that there’s now an Amazon ad in the sidebar which I’m trying on a trial basis. I know Amazon is not very woke and whatever, but anything that can be raised gets put towards hosting costs/cinnamon buns/kebabs/Jackbox installments/etc.

Basically, if you click the ad and then buy something I get a small cut (and you should expect direct links to products here to be affiliated to me). If you don’t want to use Amazon that’s absolutely fine and have a nice day, but if you are then it’d be a way of tipping me at no extra cost to you.

Speaking of Jackbox, keep September 29th free for the next exciting Game Night, more details in due course.

Genuinely fascinated by how well IQTV is or isn’t doing. Their Twitter currently has 32 followers. Please give them a follow, it’s embarrassing.

Nope, still can’t get excited.
