...rapid rounds, quickies, whatever you want to call them. Don't remember seeing one for months (although I did miss a fair number of games earlier this year). Can anyone remember when the last one was?

I've been thinking that. Perhaps the contestants were told that they weren't allowed to do them anymore.

They used to be a pain when doing commentary trying to type 3 box numbers and contestants in quick succession.

plus they dont take very much time so the other areas of the show may need to be extended

My thoughts exactly.

I liked quickies and how ashok had a disasterous one (Noel says: they work, they work")
then Buddy reveals £75,000 *lets hope dan isn't around *
Connell - £100,000

that shut noel up

Aw that was so depressing. Although the Banker's "Who would have thought a quickie with Ashok could be so pleasurable?" made me giggle childishly for ages.
