Another fan here, count me in. I have heard of most of the contestants, as not too many content creators are included. As much as I love it, I often doze off during the round table discussions. Fortunately I have the series on record so can rewind.
(Sorry I was one of the guilty "other thread" starters but I admitted to my sin on the thread )
Lots of comedians on it this year - so they'll be a lot of people who know each other. I think it adds to the programme that some of them know a bit - or quite a lot - about each other.
Can't wait - even though it means shifting my All Creatures Great and Small to tomorrow as I'll never stay awake long enough to watch it afterwards.
