Last Friday's Christmas UC final was the very last episode of UC that Paxo recorded.
By my reckoning, it was his 1,180th episode in all - 967 regular eps (including the ones in the current series yet to be broadcast), 118 Christmas eps, 61 Professionals eps, 18 Reunited eps and 16 other specials.
Not long till Amol records his first eps; as well as wondering (whether with excitement or fear) just how well he'll do, we also wonder what other changes will take place. Will there be a new set and new titles, and might there even be a new version of the theme tune (the Balanescu Quartet's version has been used for a stonking 23 years now)?
I haven't come across anything to suggest that Roger Tilling won't continue to call out "Magdalen, Smith", "SOAS, Philippopoulos" and so on. Were he to step aside too, however, who would be a good replacement?
