I remember thinking that about Alan Davies - As Yet Untitled. That it (almost) always allowed people to show the best version of themselves.

I'm unhappy about missing Mawdryn and Enlightenment from mine.

I got nowhere doing it with Tom. Too many to chose from.

That would be incredibly kind. And worth a pint at the next one.

I should have taken your kind offer, we didn't manage to get any. My fairy godmother has conjured one up for me but I'm still trying to find another one so we can both go.
