    US watcher. I recognize everyone. Nick Mohammed is most familiar since he was in The Martian and Ted Lasso, though I never loved when Mr Swallow would turn up on panel shows.

      Ah, that’s who he is. I recognised the name but didn’t get a good enough look at his face for the penny to drop.

      Based on some of the skills he’s demonstrated on Cats Does Countdown, he could be a real contender.
