[Romantic Old Bird]

I'm afraid I was utterly convinced by the end that they had been cheating. It was a really crude system too - pathetically transparent.

I do think there may have been 'selective' shots of the major's wife looking across, but his behaviour around the choice of answers was the clincher for me. it was patently obvious he had no idea on so many.

He was on BBC breakfast with his wife this morning, again strongly denying it, but sorry, he looked like a guilty man to me. His response when informed by phone about the programme adjudicators doubts was also revealing. He was too controlled.

Teclan Whittock was also on GMTV and he , if lying, is altogether more convincing. It still doesn't wash though.

The major's wife is an absolute horror though. I found myself intensely disliking her.

As for the appeal, none of them sounds to me as if they will - I think they know they have no chance. I suspect they are now just out to recoup their losses through the media.

Amy, I didn't notice the cough medicine advert - classic!
