Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • David brought in his cat Monkey's ashes.
  • Ed brought in a guide to the Millennium Dome, which was £18 on eBay.
  • Jo brought in a Margaret Thatcher nutcracker, arguing that Thatcher herself was now defunct, and that nutcrackers were not as common as they once were.
  • As Katy was absent due to being ill, Kerry Godliman represented her in the studio, arguing for Katy's prize. Katy had brought in a £5 Woolworths voucher.
  • Rose brought in a bin filled with used syringes from her flatmate, who has arthritis.
