Overall result: Kirk Bevins 3 - 2 Steven Briers Game 1 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=203393 After a couple of abysmal rounds for me I was very lucky to scrape the win in this first game, especially considering me and Kirk buzzed in for the conundrum within milliseconds of each other. Gam...

Count me in please.

As I was browsing the internet I came across this article on Brian. Thought I'd post the link as a warning as it contains some mega spoilers. Bit reckless of the newspaper publishers I'd say. I unfortunately stumbled across it whilst searching Countdown related articles, so if anybody else were to d...

Steven Briers

Congratulations Kirk on winning the series, which your performances deserved, and commiserations to Jimmy, though you've certainly shown yourself to be a formidable player. I've been away from the Countdown scene for a while (due to exams, working on my novel etc...), but have still watched the show...

Steven Briers

Congratulations Kirk on today's and all of your performances. Thankfully my recorder didn't play up so I was able to watch Countdown history being made in all its glory.

It's once again going to be strange adjusting back to 'average' contestants again for the time being.

Steven Briers

I hope not, Steven! And you want Des Lynam, Carol, Jeff and Rachel to remember you, right? If there is a target figure for the petition, then the only chance you might have of appearing on a game show is when you appear on Wogan's Perfect Recall! Sadly, we don't know if that show will get renewed y...

Steven Briers

I've signed. Incidentally, is there some sort of target figure for the amount of signatures?

Steven Briers

Might be a coincidence but I played two games this evening and Josef Fritzel was the DC guest in both of them, and the games were more or less back to back. The skeptic in me wondered whether this was perhaps more than just random having read this thread.

Steven Briers

Well played Richard. My chat feature wasn't working so apologies if I seemed ignorant.

Not making excuses but since CoC, I've hardly practised, but even if I had, the result would no doubt have been the same anyway.

Once again, well done, and I shall watch the rest of the tournament with interest.

Steven Briers

The whole production team are smashing, but Kate especially, who very kindly sent me a message congratulating me on my victory (which I've only just got round to replying to :oops: ) I doubt whether there are many other game shows where you would have the same experience, and be treated so well, tho...

Steven Briers

Thanks to everyone for their words of congratulations and compliments, and apologies for not posting sooner; I've lost my Internet connection and have had to rely on others (college etc.) to access the forum. It still hasn't totally sunk in yet. Charlie was a great guy; as was everyone who was invol...

Steven Briers

I have to say in my defence that the fact I didn't smile that much wasn't because I was miserable or anything; it was the shock of getting where I was, mixed with nervousness.

This was an excellent semi-final and Charlie played flawlessly, so well done to him. Commiserations to Jon though.

Steven Briers

For some reason this was the game where I felt the most nervous, although I was nervous for all of them. Risking TOP-LINE was rather foolish as I was literally 50-50 as to whether it was hyphenated or not, but the temptation got the better of me. The conundrum was 30 seconds of complete torture for ...

Steven Briers

A very tight game from two players of equally good standard. Well done guys; it was a pleasure to watch.

Steven Briers

It was truly a remarkable game. I still consider myself to be one lucky guy, especially with PESTICIDE (which as David said I had recently got as a conundrum in a practice game, which explains why it came to me). Had it not been for that round, me and David would've equalled each other right the way...

Steven Briers

Watching it back my game wasn't exactly flawless. Admittedly I'm picking bones, but FIELDER/YIELDER especially are words I kick myself for missing. It was bad luck for Debbi missing the nine in the first round, and throughout she was a very nice lady, who took the result graciously.

Yawn...

I did say it was the bleeding obvious. Ok, how about the Fonz guy from Happy Days.

Probably stating the bleeding obvious but maybe a diary or some sort of calendar.

Steven Briers

How about POISON and T for POTIONS, or POISON and N for OPSONIN.

Steven Briers

Probably the most tense game I've ever had online. Missed quite a few maxes along the way, but incredibly matched each other over the first 14 rounds. Bit lucky on the conundrum as I learnt the SONICATE extensions very recently: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=18352 Certainly was a nailbi...

Steven Briers

Merry Christmas one and all.

Steven Briers

This is a massive shock. He has played such an important part in the success of the show and will be sadly missed.

My condolences also to his family and friends.

Steven Briers

I agree with the general consensus that Jeff Stelling would be a good host. I've only ever seen him a couple of times on Sky Sports but he seems to fit the criteria. I wonder if there'll be a revamp of the set to launch the new era as well.

Sure Karen, that'll be great. I'd also prefer to play on MSN as well as I've only played a couple of games on Apterous and I'm still getting to grips with it.

Steven Briers

I go away next Friday for 10 days so, Steven, please could we play it before then? I am free today (Sunday), Monday evening before 7.30, Wednesday or Thursday evenings, or most days during the day. Yes that's fine Karen. I'm available any evening after about 6pm, so whenever would be best for you r...

Steven Briers

Oh damn. I think we must have just missed each other then. My apologies for the previous post.

Steven Briers

I didn't notice Jerry online this evening and we were due to play at 8pm. Not sure what would happen now, but I'm sure there was a valid reason as to why he wasn't online.

Steven Briers

I'm available to play tonight if Jerry wishes to do the game tonight. I'll try and contact him to find out.

Steven Briers

Me and Jerry have arranged to play our game at 8pm tomorrow (Friday) if that's okay.

Sorry about the lateness.

I think it's quite good because it seems easier to access the information - good job.

Steven Briers

I'll have a crack at it.

Steven Briers

I think these might be correct...

01. ACNEMYTHS = SCYTHEMAN
04. ATWELFARE = WATERLEAF
05. AURALCELL = ACELLULAR
24. THEIRZITS = ZITHERIST

IIRC, unlucky to lose to #8 seed in the quarter finals. I remember thinking you looked a little jaded and very different to your heats - were you ill, or been out on the piss the night before or anything? I'm not quite sure what it was really; just extreme tiredness, but I didn't feel totally mysel...

Steven Briers

Also, Steven, I recall reading that you were a contestant in Series 55. I don't think you won a game! What was it like to meet Des Lynam in person? The first time I met him, he seemed more like he was just there to do a job, but he was still courteous nonetheless. Then there was a month break and a...

Hi, I'm Steven Briers and I'm 18 years old. I was on Countdown in Series 55. I'm currently finishing my A levels and awaiting the dreaded results.

I was also wondering how to change my username as I never quite put my full name
