Following Barbara's brave gamble, Trev rushed from the end of the West Wing to give Barbs a well-needed hug and kiss. Diana closely followed with another hug and kiss and then David and Shell sprinted like Speedy Gonzales to the Pound Table and dish out more kisses and cuddles. By this time, the rest of the gang had gathered round Barbs the Unexpected Nudist.

Oh dear, it's so exciting being a HugWatcher, here's the Leader Board:

Monday 2nd October 2006: Mark

Yet another subdued HugWatch Stakes today, due to John only winning a pound but there was a first. Yes, Diana was the first to arrive at the Pound Table and give John a hug. Trev did arrive before Diana but he only shook John's hand, so Diana is today's Queen of HugWatch.

One favourite of Daniel's was followed by another, i.e. Jane, who also gave John a well-needed hug. The rest of the West Wingers and the East Wing Gang piled in thick and fast and there were some more Cutilicious Cuddles, notably from Donna the Dunfermline Darling.

So, Diana is Queen of HugWatch for the first time but will she win the crown again? Will Trev dish out a hug? Will Donna get to the Pfundtisch first and give a Cutilicious Cuddle? Find out in Tuesday's fix of HugWatch, complete with the Leader Board....

Annoyingly, the editing didn't show any sprinting to the Pound Table. There was just a close up on Rosy but we could still see that Trev was the first to give a hug, closely followed by Ray. By the time the camera zoomed out, the rest of the West Wingers and the East Wing Gang had gathered around Rosy to dish out more hugs and kisses.

AAARRRGH!!! Why was the editing so poor at the end of today's show? PLEASE show the sprinting or strolling to de pondtafel!!!

Anyway, here's the HugWatch Leader Board:

Monday 9th October 2006: Diana
Tuesday 10th October 2006: Trev

Will Trev be Wednesday's King of HugWatch? Will Diana or Donna win the crown? Will Mark win the HugWatch Stakes? Will there be some better editing showing the Hug Race in its full glory? Find out in tomorrow's instalment of the thing h2005 thinks is better than sliced bread. Yes, HugWatch....

Sorry for the delay, here's Wednesday's instalment of the thing which, according to Duffer, is as much of an institution as fish and chips!!!

Following Donna the Dunfirmline Drinker's dealing at £30,000, Diana sprinted with vigour to the Pound Table and gave a VERY Cutilicious Cuddle. Donna's Bessy Mate Ray closely followed with another hug and then Alex the Sage did the same.

By this time, the rest of the Red Box Club had gathered around Delightful Donna and even Valerie seemed to get there quite quickly!!! Anyway, before the excitement gets to me, here's the Leader Board:

Monday 9th October 2006: Diana
Tuesday 10th October 2006: Trev
Wednesday 11th October 2006: Diana

So, will Diana be Queen of HugWatch again? Will Trev win the crown once more? Will there be much in the way of competition between these two? Find out in the next thrilling HugWatch Report....

Some more bizarre editing today - Diana and Ray were first on the scene and gave some classic hugs and then the camera closed in to give us a welcome close-up of Donna... and Diana and Ray came rushing in again!!!

It's like being at Tesco's - have one hug, get another free...

YAY, Chico's in da house and he has one thing to say to you HugWatchers!!! It's HugWatch Time!!!

(Improvise some kind of tune) Every one needs a hug once in a while, a hug can do wonders! (Insert one of those traiangle instrument things!)When your feeling down a hug is all you need. So hug hug hug until your arms drop off...

At last, today's HugWatch Stakes were not marred by dodgy editing!!! Trev strolled from the West Wing to give Ray a handshake and then Mark raced to the Pound Table to be the first to give Mr. Ng a hug, closely followed by Jane.

If you thought Mark's sprinting was fast enough, it was nothing compared to Lisa's!!! Not only did she sprint like Speedy Gonzales, she also jumped up and down for joy!!! By this time the rest of the West Wingers and the East Wing Gang had gathered around Ray and, yet again, Valerie was NOT the last to arrive at the Pfundtisch!!! Goodness me, the excitement gets bigger every day, I'm not sure I can take any more!!! Here's how the Leader Board is shaping up:

Monday 9th October 2006: Diana
Tuesday 10th October 2006: Trev
Wednesday 11th October 2006: Diana
Thursday 12th October 2006: Mark

Will Mark be victorious once more? Will Diana or Trev win the HugWatch Crown again? Will newbie Lee be a contender? Find out in what should be another thrilling instalment of HugWatch....

It was almost too close to call in the HugWatch Stakes today. Trev and Jane arrived together at the Pound Table but Cheerful Trev was the first to give Susannah a hug. Lisa didn't jump up and down today but she was the next person to give a hug.
