A penny for my thoughts? I thought you'd never ask...
1) Ed-Tudor Pole, for the last time, is ALIVE. Not DEAD. I saw him in a film made in 1999, a music video (Fat Les' Vindaloo) in 1998, and I've seen him since. And no doubt giving cosmic handshakes to people today.
2) For the new Dungeon Master, I thought that a curious combination of having Treguard's disembodied head (á la GamesMaster) would be knice, in a way. That way you couls still have Hugo. I mean, if Patrick Moore could still present at 75, why not Hugo?
Or you could put Pickle as the Dungeon Master! Okay, bad idea...
3) Bruce Forsyth for next Dungeon master!
"It's knice to see you, to see you...KNICE!"
"The clue objects are on the conveyor belt. Try to memorise them in 60 seconds...a spyglass...a potion...a dagger (audience derision noted)...an empty jar with the word humbugs....a horn...
a cuddly toy! (Audience cheer)...a bar of gold..(buzzer sounds)"
And this is BEFORE I had the opportunity to talk about the 'Play Your Cards Right' game!
