Presenting "In It To Win It" has given me some of the most nail-biting Saturday nights I've ever had. The contestants can win or lose everything on the very last question, so the tension keeps rising right up to the final moment. It's real edge of the seat stuff.

[on Donald Trump] I could of course go on forever about the endless spats that have taken place as Trump has seen off his opponents, but it does beg the question, Why do I listen and fully understand his unstoppable grip on the electorate? Is it helped by the knowledge that sooner or later each and every one of the other candidates alienated me one by one? Is it because not one of them would be a match against Hillary in a general election? I wouldn't mind, but I don't believe she's even a strong and persuasive candidate. Is it because I'm a superficial guy who laps up bite size bulletin points administered through my TV by a self-funding billionaire and former reality star? For sure he's unruly, coarse and extreme, but he's got a rare quality for someone in politics. He is truly authentic. Is it because he cares and he's supported by a wonderful family including two ex-wives? The fact that they all get along so well takes some doing in itself!

[on giving up smoking] I've tried everything and the patches are about the only thing that seem to work. I've now given into it really. I'm a 30-a-day man.
