Maybe he’s done an audio book version - if so I’m hoping he might have gone off topic during the read and dropped in more endearing anecdotes about Chris Packham!

We had a similar thing in a cafe recently when a little boy returned to the table next to us and loudly announced “I wiped my bum on my own!”

Just listened to Episode 1. Brilliant as usual. I had a mad moment and looked at the comments on “the other place”. Christ, is anyone over there ever happy?

Just ordered a signed copy for neurodivergent hubby. He’ll either constantly fall asleep reading (so never finish it), constantly leave it in different parts of the house, or devour it a few days then endlessly quote sections at friends. I never know which it’ll be but I know he’ll love owning it. 👍

What about Ferrero Rocher?

This read was perfect timing. I’ll remember the 3:3:3 rule when we collect our two rescue dogs tomorrow that we’ve just adopted. They’re very timid and in need of some love. But we’ll get there.

But what if he says yours is much better?

(Although I think it’d be so lovely if you did)

I think it adds to the challenge

He says it’s “only” 13 complaints from 4000 contestants. If a bus driver, rail staff, shop worker etc got that many I’m pretty sure they’d be out of a job. 13 is 13 too many.

A couple of friends bumped into him at a food event years ago and told me afterwards that he’d made them feel very uncomfortable with uninvited innuendo. Neither are prudes, far from it, but they stopped watching Masterchef after that! I’d forgotten about it til this week.

I’m tempted to just put it on in the house to end the farce that will otherwise begin with Mr P.

So happy to see you’re on here as well as X.
