An inauspicious start to say the least! Horrendous selections, uninteresting words, no good finds from DC, terrible credits, a cacophonous theme tune and [[Richard Whiteley]] reading so intently from the autocue that one wonders if he was the inspiration for that scene in Bruce Almighty. Luckily it was all uphill from here! I've not included a couple of the DC beaters in the final maximum because I don't have a suitable dictionary in which to check them, so this might get reposted if I get hold of one.
