I'd probably have a montage of great contestants and their nine-letter words.

I remember an advert for Countdown shown during Series 54. It was a dark affair of a montage of Conor Travers with a dodgy voice, "Can anyone stop 14-year-old Conor Travers?"

Rhys Benjamin

Good luck all - and don't have too much fun without me.

Rhys Benjamin

Yes, I've looked it up and it's just those 3.

Well played again Mark. Very possibly the next member of the 800 club, so you're after at least 102 points tomorrow. (But preferably not more than 115. :)) That said, what if Mark wins with 115 tomorrow, so we both have 813 points? The wiki claims that "players with the same number of wins and...
