Me too.
I got plenty of missing vowels tonight.

I've just switched it on. I find this sort of stuff interesting.

I didn't do too badly on "missing vowels", but - unusually for me - I leapt in too quickly on two or three...
Still not managed a 5-pointer, but again I managed two 3-pointers in a row (the Georges and Monopoly). There were also a couple of questions where I understood the sequence but didn't know what came next (I've never played guitar... 
)

I managed to get close on the guitar question, but said piano!! DOH! wrong instrument. I don't play guitar either.

Not watching, but was reading about this on BBC online earlier today.
The bloke has to remain anonymous because he's still breaking the law, albeit in a "white-hat" sort of way...

I would like to correct that gentleman. It's not child porn anymore, we now call it 'child abuse images'.
Disgusting. A poor person who suffers depression.
We should not give a sh*t about him either. Throw him into prison and tell him 50 years without parole.
Baz posted:What they said at the start EC was that all these people needed to do was turn their computer off
Yes, break the connection which I assume they are making into your computer.
She should have said that they will be waiting outside the building along with his home address too. Scare the **********
Baz posted:They always seem to be in India
I hate Indian call centres, I close the calls, even if it's from a company I use.
Scam-baiting. Now that sounds like a fun pastime.
Baz posted:I have had the Microsoft one , and the Amazon Prime one in the last week
I never get them. Would be fun if I did. 
Pity I missed most of that.

I seem to get them in batches .......then nothing for months .....if Iâm not busy I play around with them
By wasting their time, you are saving someone from being scammed.

Yep 
Only connect: always do well on the missing vowels round, really struggled with the second wall
scammers: this was really interesting, like baz I tend to play around with them, I am usually an elderly lady whose son keeps her locked in a room and I have managed to sneak out so please chat or my bank details are pink porcelain with four legs and a snout!

Way to go Machel 
I sometimes pretend to be very hard of hearing and make them keep repeating things
Only Connect.
TV don't get much better than this. 
*settles down, quiz head switched on*
Yes!
I got the Rolling Stones at the Angie clue.
I'm on a roll - Xanadu made it for me.
That wall did it for them.
Exciting vowels round.

Rather unpleasantly, I got the dog-killing question for 3 points.
Otherwise, a few 2-pointers: Xanadu, Cuthbert (really pleased about that one! ), Sine, and Ocean's films.
Am kicking myself over the Rolling Stones and Agatha Christie questions, though...

Again, rather unpleasantly, I got the "skin blemishes" straight away... 
I knew watching Emmerdale was educational, Cain Dingle earned me points, as always the missing vowels is my round. I think Victoria was generous with the foresters in the last round
switched to sky one and the jack teacher film advertised has been changed to a sci-fi ðĪŽ
