The original band of four loyal contestants can't quite believe they've aged ten years since innocently agreeing to take part in an online quiz that does absolutely nothing to contribute to world peace, famine reduction, saving whales or the pursuit of knowledge.

Over the years the number of contestants has increased in leaps and bounds from the first four trailblazers to a mind-boggling eight, all of whom regret the decision to take part every day of their bloody lives.

So relive those heady days of yesteryear in 2005 and 2006 when Jonathan Ross would do anything for a few bob and the GTI awards presentation evenings were the envy of the world.

GTI Awards 2006 - Progress Report 03

Channel Four have committed to covering the event live without any ten second delay as long as Mr. Biggins and I give assurances that the whole evening will run like clockwork. 

Mr. Biggins told them the meat raffle might overrun a bit but he will try to cancel it while I categorically denied there would be any repeat of the problems with the autocue after last year when it got permanently stuck following the words “Good evening and welcome to”. 

I reminded them that if it wasn’t for young Mr. Wallace miming the names of all the nominees to Mr. Ross in a most excellent fashion the evening would have been a great deal more chaotic than it actually was. 

But they were having none of it and I eventually convinced them by promising to have Mrs. Wickham as backup in case Mr. Wallace got delayed on Yalding bridge. 

So…everything’s looking good.
