Helping Hands stuff

This is part of some larger research, but that's something I most likely won't end up posting for a while. However, the misrepresentation of Ryan/Greg Helping Hands seriously, seriously bothers me, so I figured I'd post this just to set the record straight:

Greg playing Ryan’s hands: (UK episodes: 3.15, 4.02, 4.05, 4.09, 4.12, 5.01, 5.02, 5.05, 6.02, 6.04, 7.02, 7.05, 8.14) The only times Ryan doesn’t give Greg the backwards hug are 4.09 (with Colin) and 4.12 (with Brad).

Greg interacting with Ryan/someone else playing the hands: (UK episodes: 4.07, 4.08, 5.04, 5.06) Interestingly enough, Ryan doesn’t give the backwards hug during any of these games. Three of these games are with Colin and once with Archie.

And because people are probably curious about this, the HH games from the UK where Colin plays Ryan's hands:
Episodes: 3.12, 3.17, 4.07 (no hug), 5.04 (no hug), 5.06 (no hug), 5.08, 6.03, 6.09, 6.10, 7.03, 7.04. Huh. So the only times Ryan doesn't give Colin the hug is when Greg's around. Interesting. It doesn't quite work the same way in reverse because Colin was in 8.14. Then again, that's 3 years after those three last played the game together, so a lot could have changed.
