{{{13}}} 9 L I G H H G I H T HIGHLIGHT – 2 5 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. Based on Template:Corral by Soo Reams, from a tape circulated by Sandie Simonis.
