cathy hytner [not sure of spelling] used to do the letters and carol did the numbers. Her
and Carol are very close friends

You are correct. The third person was Cathy Hytner, who selected the letters and numbers, then Carol came on to do the sums. Obviously a cost-cutting exercise to get Carol to do both jobs.

What did Giles have a SI for?

Anyone remember the episode where the longest word possible was a very rude 6 letter word?

mike11111

Giles apparently mentioned the name of a certain footballer in one of his columns which rendered him liable to action for breaking the super-injunction obtained by said footballer.

I always thought they made a mistake when they changed from 30 mins to 45 mins. Just a bit too long to hold the interest now.
