So - who won on the night? Did anybody land a killer blow? And did we manage to tick off our bingo cards?

It's official: Nigel Farage is running as an MP and will be leading Reform UK into the election, after a last-minute press conference was called this afternoon. Camilla and Kamal look at the bombshell announcement, what it means for British politics - and crucially, whether this is a death knell for the Conservatives.
They also ask whether the Tory pledge to rewrite the Equality Act and clear up 'confusion' on the legal definition of sex goes far enough.
Plus, with the sad passing of Leeds Rhinos rugby legend Rob Burrow after his long battle with motor neurone disease, The Telegraph's Puzzles Editor Chris Lancaster - who was diagnosed with MND last year - reflects on the incredible impact of his campaigning.

Donald Trump has become America's first former or current president to be convicted of a crime. But what does it mean for the US election - an election he can still stand in? Will it kill off his chances, or will it actually boost them?
Camilla and Kamal ask that very question to The Telegraph's US Editor Tony Diver, plus they're joined by reporter Susie Coen who was sat just feet away from Donald Trump in the courtroom in Manhattan as he was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Elsewhere, they look at who's had the better week in the UK election, and find out who's winning the social media war...

The Labour Party appears to be tearing itself apart again with deselections of candidates from the left-wing of the party. Meanwhile the Conservative Party is facing a similar existential battle with the double threat of it's own right-wing and Nigel Farage's Reform Party. So is the idea of centrist politics facing it's own extinction event?
Camilla and Kamal look at all of that, plus they assess The Reform Party's newly announced migrant tax and ask what Sir Keir Starmer should learn from Tony Blair?
