I dunno why anyone would find this useful, but it's not been done yet so what the hey! Here's a list of every show and the contestant who was the last left from every one, so by the time Raj played he was the last contestant left from the 22 people on the wings in Lynn's game, and then John was the last left from Mark, Anita, Rachel and Haleem's game, etc, etc, continue for hundreds of shows. The list at the current longest runner, as after that there's two or more left from a certain show. I suppose it could be interesting to see who was the last on the wings to see especially memorable shows, such as Andrew the last who saw the first £250k win and John M the last who saw the first 1p win. Away we go!

*collapses*

Only just noticed this, it's great - you must have put in a lot of time and effort into that, Billy!

This actually makes it easier to define the "eras" if you name them after respective players, as in the thread that was around last year.

I seem to remember the last one was bearded brian so following on from that, you could have:

Laura (I know Nicola surivved 2 games longer, but really Laura's game was a watershed)
Andrew
Debbie
Dee
Shahid
Paul B
Dan (appropriate for Billy as he saw Dan's game)
Annie
JEAN!! (wholly appropriate she gets an era)
Charly, Michael or Mary (take your pick as it makes no difference to the next one - all three were very memorable in their own ways)
Ashleigh
The last survivor from Joe's game will be the current one:

But I think starting 2007 as a fresh, i reckon it could work out even better:

Starting with

Bunney (he defined January whether you loved or loathed him)
Lee
Nudist Di (she's syonymous with the nobody ever making a right decision era)
Smiley Rita
Jo
Adam (you could have had Jackee but I think Adam's more appropriate for a cautious run, and it makes no difference to the next one)
Brian (he deffo deserves one)
Zahida
Ed ((he's fully deserving of one)
Basil Fawlty Peter
Olly
(longest survivor from Jonny's game!)

What a fantastic thread! Well done Billy
