[edit] The Stuart Hall Incident
The Stuart Hall Incident has been strangely neglected from this page.
- What was the Stuart Hall incident? Blibbka 22:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
The stuart hall incident was during an answer on show in April of 2004 where he made cricket references to Zimbabwe, Mugabe and 'Blacking up' (including a reference of 'tincture of bat' for instance). This was what led to Christian O'Connel introducing the 'laurel and hardy' music, rather than the 'mnuh mnuh' music to indicate when a contestant had 'lost it'. I can't remember the exact question at the moment and will have to go back to my podcasts for reference.

Actually I was mistaken - it was 12 march 2005. The panel consisted of Danny Kelly, Will Buckley, John Rawlin, Stuart Hall. The question was "What other former all conquering nations of individuals would you like to see have a renaissance?". Stuart Hall wanted Zimbabwe he then slagged off what Mugabe had done to the country then said "...don your flannels, black up, play leather on willow with Mugabe cast as a witch doctor. Imagine him out at Lords casting a curse; tincture of bat's tongues, gorilla's gonads, tiger's testicles...". At which point Christian O'Connel asked "Are we still on air?".
I think I will add it to the page.

[edit] Gabby Logan
Word on the street is that Gabby Logan is going to be taking over full time, now she's got her BBC contract... Keep your eyes peeled. --Gavinio 10:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Election Special
Does anyone remember which other three Pundits were on the Election Special? I have Lembit Opik down and remember there being one from the Lib Dems and Conservatives, but can't remember their names or the fourth non-political member (could have been Rod Liddle).

It was Steven Pound and Alan Duncan (I think) --Sheep2000 15:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pundits with the most wins
Can any one tell me who the top ten most successful pundits are in terms of number of wins? I know John Rawling and Greg Brady are the top two and presume Steve Bunce would be number three but I don't know who comes next. Also, could this information be displayed on the Fighting Talk page, maybe in the form of a table/template? Big Al 1984 15:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree this would be useful, and interesting. However, I am not sure how to go about getting the information, short of listening to a lot of podcasts! I have them going back a couple of years, but none of season 1. Does anyone know when they started podcasting? Apart from this way of doing it, I don't think there is any record out there...--Sheep2000 20:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
