The Top Class Wednesday Update will see you after the show
After a final punt for our Regenerate event. Mark trains the stage lights on platform flows for 2023 and it’s not a pretty picture …
The Top Class Wednesday Update is glad everything’s completely normal
Day five million in the Big Brother house, and the contestants have started to eat each other. “This is normal,” says Suella, gnawing on a thigh bone. “I’m struck by how well everything is working,” says Dominic, popping a juicy eyeball into his dry, blackened mouth.

The Top Class Wednesday Update remembers Ian Taylor

IF WE COULD START THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE AGAIN, WE WOULD
Here’s an interesting question. For those of you who run an advisory business, if you could start it again, would you choose the same technology underpinnings and kit that you use at the moment?
