Hi sea - sanden/ Mary,
you should of been there on the night! I was, in the audience! That's exactly what was happening, he was reading off the autocue. He had to re - read those lines so many times!!!
Thanks for your responses everybody. I think what staggers me is that the transformation between Good Ol' Des talking in a studio without a script and what we see here is so great. He wasn't brilliant on Countdown, but this is ghastly
lol!! I was so annoyed at that! I bet there were a few who hadn't ate before hand. Luckily, we'd had a pub lunch. They filmed two episodes back to back. The next one we are in, one of the contestants has a stutter. (Not calling him) just can't remember any of the contestants names. Might be the next one shown.
Wiz - If you go on the BBC website on their BBciplayer, you can get repeats of a lot of shows. Just checked to see if S.M is there, says tonights episode will be on shortly.
