Parky generally interfered too much and I remembered thinking that he should just leave the teams to guess the titles and if they didn't that just part of the game. However, whenever the time was running out or the celebrity didn't seem to be making sufficient progress, he would stick his oar in and help them out and he seemed to disproportionately do this for Lisa Goddard's team. I didn't notice your observation that he would also give them points if they came close to getting the titles right but weren't entirely accurate but I can believe this because it was in keeping with his general approach to the show. I often wondered if Parky felt the show was beneath him so he didn't have to take it seriously. I think at the time his BBC interview show had ended and his move to TV-am had flopped so he just treated the show as a pay cheque and wasn't particularly bothered about doing a good job.</blockquote>
