Sorry I'm late, BBC was interviewing Gwendal Peizerat and we were chatting after and then they asked me if they could interview me and I agreed, not realizing that it would take quite as long as it did and it made me late. Anyone that get's BBC will see a brief valuable? comment from me on on the new judging system ;)
