Revision as of 16:46, 5 August 2024 by GTh (talk | contribs) (The valid words might need an update as it was filmed in May/June 2024 before the July 2024 OED purge. Specific words may not be included as Apterous has now been updated to exclude them, but they would've been valid at the time of broadcast.)
