Show 8: 4 November - Badger stirfry
Apologies to all those who wrote in to complain that this week's item on eating road kill put them off their cornflakes. But admit it... next time you're driving past a pancaked hedgehog we know you'll be tempted.
Thanks to this week's guest Kirstie Allsopp, who scored averagely in our 'guess the house price' game but 10 out of 10 at all other times.
Bill Frankel told of his fascinating life as Mr X, and inspired poet Lemn Sissay to wax lyrical about South Africa's deliverance from apartheid. Horse whisperer Sarah Kreutzer turned up the volume to talk to us, as did Federick Forsyth, who shared his inheritance tracks. And chess champ Alexandra Kosteniuk almost managed to persuade Fi of an alternative way to have fun…
If you missed anything you can listen again to this week's programme (4 November 2006).
Come to the beach!

Complain about this postWhat a wonderful man! I'm so impressed with all that Mr X did for South Africa. It is very interesting to listen to/hear about.
Complain about this postI congratulate you on taking the bold step you have in presenting Saturday Live. My work takes similar focus and determination. You and I face paradigm prejudice because our work challenges the so-called norm.
For interest I was a controller in commercial radio (the dark side) for over 15 years and I share that immediate audience feedback is always distorted. Unless you commission objective polls the people who respond are in a minority (2% of the total audience) so take heart and win!

Complain about this postThank you for another excellent show, you make Saturday housework a breeze! (this IS a compliment, by the way)
Complain about this postI'd really like you to do a feature on how quickly people are able to turn this vile show off. I fall asleep with Radio 4 on and am usually happy to wake with it on. On saturdays, slightly hungover, I'm lying there about 9.15 and I realise, god, its that awful programme, and I'm forced to either reach over and get radio 5 or three on or just turn the thing off. Sometimes it can take me ten minutes to get the energy to switch the radio off. By then my mood is already poisoned.
God will this awful programme ever end!
