Was the blonde woman without a badge that was sitting next to Khanny, patricia

No, cos otherwise she'd have had a name badge saying Patricia.

Think everyone has already been listed that I saw, expect Nev, he was above and left of Harry.

I was puzzled too with the Patricia lookalike, I couldn't identify who it was at all at first, and then thought it must be Patricia. Watching it back again, she doesn't have a namebadge, so perhaps a friend of Annie's?

Perhaps Dave Woollin or another player who was there could confirm who it was, and any other players we have missed/couldn't see.

Now updated on the original post.

One thing I've noticed is surprisingly few from the very early days (we didn't even see £120k Jennifer). Also, the most recent one I think is Derek, so they obviously didn't bother bringing back those who had only just played, even if they were definite Hall of Fame candidates (e.g. Rodney, Eric, Adam etc.)

They should have invited Thanh....

Maybe they did, and she said No Deal... still, rumour has it she wasn't the most popular person there.

Catherine from the wings around then told me that whilst she was a very nice person, she didn't spend much time with the group D:

I'm sure I saw Kirsty.

A couple of the ones that I really would have expected to see are Saj and Lance.

Was that £75k Kirsty or Doughnut Kirsty?

I'm absolutely amazed there was no sign of Graeme....

I was thinking "too recent" perhaps, but we had PJ and Derek from a similar era...

There are a number of big winners missing, and also I was surprised we only saw 3 of the 1p club, and also plenty of memorable characters who weren't there.

But I suppose only about 20% of all the contestants could come back, some will have been unable to make it for whatever reason, some will have not been invited for various reasons... we can only speculate really, unless Dave or anyone else wants to give us any inside info!

There should have been roughly 150 if the seats were all filled up.
