I enjoyed that.
I was rather hoping that your performance was held back for the Christmas special.

Glad you got the footage.
Good luck editing it down for your showreel... (I assume it will be edited).
Good work removing the explanation from the YouTube version. ;)

We saw that recording and spent an hour or so in the queue beforehand with your volunteer Frank and his family. He was a very funny and sociable bloke and a superb choice as volunteer!

I wish we could see more unedited versions !! Brilliant !

And as a previous poster said, well done for editing where it was needed, although I know what their second guess was (from your posts in various places) as well as seeing the end shot.

You have to realise that a lot of performers would crumble under this sort of scrutiny.James not only handled this perfectly but made it more entertaining to watch.Penn's analysis and James' wit made for a piece of tv that was more intriguing and entertaining than a lot of the acts.Shame it was cut because it's excellent stuff

Do you think if Penn hadn't been as close to grumpy as I have ever seen when guessing, it might have aired? I thought they were only allowed one guess and looking at the cards would certainly count as one, so that doesn't seem fair.

But either way, it takes balls to do that on TV and nevermind in front of P&T so certainly a great acheivement, well done.
