Ep 149: Fringe, Theme Tunes, Quiz & John Richards

The Quiz is Back!

John Richards is our co-host this week and we would be remiss to not mention his website straight away.

Erratta
During the news it was said that TV Tonight’s David Knox wrote: “Samantha Armytage had been a seamless fill in [for Anna Coren reported]”.
Actually, this was a quote from an article in the Daily Telegraph. David Knox’s post on the blog was a criticism of the Telegraph article. Boxcutters apologises for the mistake.
