Oh God I feel like the Angel of Death here...

Sorry guys, there were no Cluedo-playing Royals or Jello-related world leaders. :-(

If it's any consolation:
- My sketch about Diana's inquest didn't get into this run either.
- A lot of this run seems to be written by the cast, and also last night they seemed to resurrect a lot of sketches from earlier runs. I must have counted maybe six or eight sketches I'd seen before.

BTW I like the idea of the Royals playing Cluedo to determine the facts surrounding Diana's death.

I think you are very unfair not listing every sketch that you watched! Very unfair! Call yourself an anally retentive nerd? Oh no, you're called Griff.

PS - What were the highlights? Any good songs?

Can I ask Griff did the McDonald sketch include brushing dandruff/squeezing spots onto burgers? [Sorry to be a pain]

Was my Tony Blair/Catholic sketch repeated?

What the hell... was my Cliff Richard rehab repeated?

My lunch was repeated - I can still taste it now

Damnit, I did a macdonalds one, and had the same joke, but it wasn't that one. Gutted.
