This has confirmed that Parky does seem to have toned down to a more in keeping style of chairmanship because while he has been perfectly OK in the most recent episodes I've watched, this one episode got my blood pressure right up again with his bias and interference to help the ladies' team.In this one episode alone he used numerous and blatant tactics to try to keep Lionel's team down: he said the women had a title on the buzzer (they didn't) and then two minutes later got hardline and said the men didn't have their title before the buzzer (they did). He gave the ladies' team a bonus point for being close to correct in the question posed, then offered a bonus to the men thinking they wouldn't know the answer. When asked "Where's our point?" he told them they already had too many.Still, if the Liza/Parky era of GUAC follows the impending release of the Una/Aspel years it's helpful to know that I can either skip the 1987 and early 1989 episodes altogether or grit my teeth and take solace in knowing the later 1989 run is more watchable.</blockquote>
