This month's leaderboard has a slightly different look to it, although our winner previously topped the list as recently as last September. Congratulations to Tom on succeeding in the "trivial telly" battle! Equally, commiserations to Simon on just missing out – his maiden victory here can't be too far away!
 
Deserved reward for Kathy's regular efforts with a 3rd place – I make that her 4th different podium finish – just the elusive 1st to complete the set now!
 
Well done Bhalchandra, who achieved 4th spot, celebrating his first anniversary of clue entries with a first podium!
 
The final placing went to Alastair – another new name on the podium – welcome and congratulations!
 
As always, thanks to all for your efforts – and I hope there is some encouragement here for you to aim for those top slots!
