The Pick 3 Show

A staple of the tv schedules are the 'cop shows' with every generation having their favourites. Will the Pick 3 panel, with three decades of separation, have any crossover in their selections for the best tv cop shows that they have watched. Gareth showing up with bleached blonde hair, jacket with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of electric blue Espadrilles certainly gave a huge nod to his 80's heyday! As usual their were some strong opinions and some interesting choices.

This week the PickMaster General tested the panel's competitive instincts by setting an unusual challenge. Competition is a part of everyday life whether that be for selection to a sports team, interviewing for a new job or simply getting tickets to a popular gig. However, people also get weirdly competitive over a wide range of 'irrelevant' or 'unimportant' things. PMG tasked the panel to select their top three examples of weird competitiveness that they have witnessed, or are guilty of undertaking, in their lives.

The PickMaster General tested the panel by asking them to list their top 3 life changing decisions. Martin has the most choices to sift through, Gareth is a contingency planner so making big decisions is not an alien concept, whereas "laid back" Andy takes his time over even the smallest of decisions. Find out what the panel eventually chose as their biggest life decisions.

Our panel are in trouble and find themselves on death row awaiting final dispatch. However, very pleasingly the PMG has granted each of them unfettered access to whichever culinary delights they would wish to enjoy in their final hours. Despite some reservations regarding how hungry they might be, Martin, Gareth and Andy made their choices and placed their orders.

The PMG has always been careful with the show's resources but are the panel as careful with money or do they waste cash? Martin, Gareth and Andy discuss the top 3 ways they each waste money, but most listeners will want to contact Andy by the end of the episode after he reveals a stellar deal he negotiated!

Some days start out fine and then, unexpectedly, something happens which alters our outlook on the day. These random events/distractions are unforseen, but they change our attitude to how we finish our tasks for the day. In a moment of devilishness the PMG decided to ask the panel to list their top three things that can ruin their mood. In their usual fashion, Martin, Gareth and Andy, took up the challenge and delivered their choices.

Gareth wasn't at all happy when the PickMaster General selected the topic of the top 3 Fictional Worlds that the panel would like to live in. Martin & Andy both saw the topic as a fun challenge and enjoyed Gareth's discomfort as he struggled to get his Accountant's brain to consider fantasy realms. Fair to say that this week's choices see a very wide divergence of opinions.

A tradition as old as the hills is for parents to reinforce their viewpoint by telling "white lies" to kids. Generally this is to get children to fall in line but sometimes these lies become generational. The PickMaster General challenged Martin, Gareth and perennial bad boy Andy to recount what they were told as children that, with the benefit of hindsight, proved patently false.

Not everything is as good as it's cracked up to be, so this week the PickMaster general challenged the panel to pick the top 3 things people pretend to enjoy. Despite the usual age related differences there was some surprising continuity between Martin, Gareth and Andy but do the listeners agree?

Live music is one of life's great joys but not all gigs are created equal. Sometimes it is the setting, sometimes it's the staging but frequently it is the sheer joy of a shared experience. The PMG challenged the Pick 3 panel to select their top 3 gigs of all time and explain why they made their choices. It is safe to say that there is a wide variance in the choices plus a few fun stories along the way.

Let us have your choices via our social media portals, remembering there are no wrong choices just some poorly argued opinions.
