And that ruddy enormous cross!

Maddening. I swear it gets bigger every time he's on. But I hadn't noticed till last night how annoying Siddle is as well.

Think he started getting elbowy around the second picture round in earlier stages - but he was on it from the outset last night. Not acceptable. Play it cool, kids. See also: Warner the Gurner from Bristol (where my son is, but again we ended up wanting them to lose).

Oh Warner was awful. What a frigging show off. It's not all about you!

I got the sense - and this might be pure transference on my part - that even Amol didn't want them to win. Hart and Siddle want it far too much, a very unappealing trait.

Exactly this, don’t let it show…see my earlier list of cool kids, who seem to love having the knowledge more than the actual winning. Amol’s really brought something to UC, didn’t think it would be possible in such a straightforward show - really seems to bother to get to know them too.

He's great, really knowledgeable and switched on. And Paxman was a hard act to follow. Only quibble: his ridiculous ostentatious big watch sometimes dazzles the camera

Ah yeah am not keen on his styling all-round - tie pin, pocket hanky… Big fan otherwise!

It's a bit spivvy. But yeah, he's good!

Yeah, terrible! Give me Bethlehem and Eric Monkman and best of all Alex Guttenplan! Also re Hart - his palpable disappointment when the music round isn’t about classical music. Bloody hell, lad.

What a bozo. I almost feel sorry for him, one of these guys who has clearly never been young.
