This will be an interesting group.

Richard Osman also presents House of Games on BBC2, a real must- see in our house!

Nice to have a few people listed where I actually recognise the names!

Romilly.

I'll second that, the only unfamiliar name for me is Matt Lucas.

Carol

Matt Lucas is the bald (he has alopecia) comedian who used to star with David Walliams.
He is now better known for presenting Great British Bake Off with Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

My niece was at school with him in Stanmore Middlesex.

Ah...Thanks for that, yes I know now, just couldn't place the name.

I only recognize Sue Perkins.
We don’t get the show here, unfortunately.

I don't recognise Anna Maxwell Martin

I love Richard Osman in house of games and am taking his book on my holiday !

Of course it's the stories that matter however well known the people are .
WDYTYA  Is a great series .

I remember Anna Maxwell-Martin in the play, ‘Poppy Shakespeare’, but she’s done loads of other things!

I got round to watching the Sue Perkins programme last night, and quite enjoyed it.

As usual, I followed the UK documentation easily enough. The marriage certificate was printed in March last year, I noticed.

It would have been good to be given a clue as to how the trail to the Baltic was followed, rather than just announcing "Lithuania".
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
