Most importantly, we have also lost all of your contact details, your email addresses.

We have therefore set up a new email address for anyone that wishes to contribute a review, either now or in the near future.

Our new email address is

Please drop us a line at this new address if you wish to continue to take part in future episodes and we will continue to include you on the mailing list.

Apologies to those that have sent in reviews over the last week or so - it looks like we will be postponing our next episode until mid to late February unfortunately.

Many thanks for your understanding
