    It’s the final tonight and I’m struggling more than a little with these questions.
    But Victoria does have lovely eyes.

    I honestly don’t get the Victoria Coren thing. Is it just me that thinks she’s a bit too pleased with herself?

    I find her wit and intelligence very appealing.

    That's an act though. When you see her just being herself she's lovely.

    For whatever reason, I've never played the game, I watched her win her second European Tour poker final. It was so tense and exciting. Victoria Tweets a lot and I occasionally used the platform back then. I offered my congratulations on Twitter and she answered me. And to the responses I wrote. I stopped before I out stayed my welcome. She was modest, funny and utterly charming.

    She's my age, she's intelligent, confident when she needs to be but also self-effacing, she's funny, and she likes staying up all night smoking fags, drinking whiskey and playing poker. And, to be very base about it for a second, she's stunning, all woman. What's not to like?

    Sounds like I have a crush on her. I haven't, but if I knew her I'm pretty sure I would have.

    Each to their own. She doesn't get me reaching for the Kleenex.

    The current Mrs Didcot Red always watch it. I usually get a few right, I auditioned once with my mate (who reached the semi-finals of Brain of Britain and Counterpoint) and Jr. Didcot Red 2. We were unsuccessful.

    The questions in the semis and the final are usually much harder than normal.

    I got the champions league one right last night and one of the connecting walls, it would be an understatement to say I was absolutely buzzing.

    Me and Mrs Statis watch it. I think I might have got a few bits half right in the whole series.

    Mrs Statis does better but a few weeks ago she smashed it out the park on what the connection is between the 4 clues. From the first clue of "1987. Colour of the river changed" she got the right answer.

    Think she's an alien or summat.

    That's brilliant. It happened in the final last night. I have scored 3 points several times but never 5.
