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 11

Mr. Ross’s PR team went away satisfied with security after Mr. Biggins promised on his mother’s life that he would personally make sure that Mrs. Flagg had a full backup team supporting her should anything kick off. 

A timely reminder to all nominees and guests to ensure they bring suitable ID for security purposes on the night preferably in big print as Mrs. Flagg is getting on a bit and recently lost her glasses. 

A major change to the event this year will be the inclusion of a public audience. 

Ticket sales are going well and we intend to house the audience close to the awards area just behind and to the right of the red curtain hiding the keyboard and drum kit left over from last month’s Rick Astley Sings evening. 

Whenever I knock on Mr. Biggins’ office door these days he shouts 'Come' and is always on the telephone, thumbs in red braces, talking to people called Arnie or Davina or suchlike. 

I didn’t even know he wore red braces but Mrs. Flagg says he doesn’t, only when he’s expecting visitors and besides the phone isn’t due to be connected until next month at the earliest.
