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 24

Microphones. 

Mr. Biggins says microphones, have we got any. 

I asked Channel 4 if they were providing them but they say they are on a low budget and once the price of the meat raffle tickets had been factored in they were way over budget so they will only be providing one camera and cameraman and nothing else. 

Mr. Biggins says this is something of a blow but he’ll work round it. 

When I asked Mr. Biggins how many microphones he could lay his hands on he told me none but he did have three children. Before I could say anything he explained that last Christmas he’d bought each of them one of those novelty microphones that change the speaker’s voice into various different sounds and that he was sure that Tom, Rebecca and Justin wouldn’t mind if he borrowed them for the evening. 

I said that’s all very well but what if Mr. Ross doesn’t want to sound like a Dalek and Mr. Biggins said that would be all right, he could choose from five other voices including Donald Duck if he wanted. 

I don’t think it’s wise to tell Channel 4 of this development, best just hope they and Mr. Ross don’t notice on the night.
