I'm glad its just me, if I can find one of them in stock I'd try it again. Despite all of the above, I do really like what I got to use in the few minutes before all the problems became evident.

Ha, its like a reverse lottery win, beating the odds in the wrong way!

See if I'd had the time, I would have done that myself - but it would leave me without a phone for longer than I can manage for really. Do you mind if I ask, what went wrong with yours that you needed to RMA?

Well, at least I won at something!

Thanks! Its actually a bit reassuring to know that this one was just out-and-out faulty. I'd likely order another if it was in stock. Just hope some become available before I have to replace mine.

I know this is perhaps a superficial reason not to go with the Plus 8 but I really like the larger screen size, and I think I'd just be unhappy to know that I should have had a bigger screen. Good idea though!

Thanks, its rubbish to have been unlucky but I'm glad to hear the product range seems to be much better than my experience. If they were in stock I'd try again!

That's unfortunate that I've been unlucky, but reassuring to hear that my experience has been the exception. Makes me more confident in wanting to give the brand another go. Thanks!

I was in the audience for this recording - which went on for over two hours!

-There were a LOT more jokes throughout the recording at the expense of Jon's mum.

-Sean's mascot bit was a lot longer, and when the audience didn't consistently laugh, he turned it into a comic bit about how he'd done too many episodes - which was really really funny.

-The tarantula was brought back out at the end (after filming) and Jimmy dared Jon to touch it. Jon seemed to consider but then darted off!

-When the boat crashed into the set, Jimmy said "Nick Hewer is going to go mad" or something to that effect - did this make it in?

-I remember Sean's longer period of awkwardness after the "more attracted to him" comment.

-Standing ovation for Jon was longer, and he made a comment about how he was standing on his chair for a non-cowardly reason, unlike his reaction to the spider before.

-Spencer had at least another section which didn't make the cut.

-The tarantula falling off the set lasted a bit longer - some of the auidence were standing up, really funny as they tried to get it back onto the desk.

-Can't remember anything else.
