Maybe we could double up on the last few episiodes - they aren't too long. It wouldn't be the same without you, TT.

Thanks! We'll see what everyone else says. As long as no-one is expecting me to explain it all!

I am up for that. And since you never explain anything, we have no expectations on that score...

Thanks - we'll see if anyone else minds, if not we'll double up with episodes 12/13, 14/15 and 16/17. We'll still do 10 and 11 as single episodes.

I can't vote properly as I will surely miss a few rewatches when I have to work.
