Series 22 1991 Semi-Final

I don't know what's happened to my offering from last night, so I'll try and remember it all. There was one round in my Semi-Final which was quite memorable. It was a letters round, and my opponent (David ?) offered a 6-letter word. All I had was a very dubious 6, which for all I knew, could have be...

Series 22 1991 - Semi-Final

Firstly, I would like to offer my congratulations to Charlie Reams on becoming the latest Octochamp; the last game was a bit close though. Going back to my Semi-Final in 1991, there was one round which I particularly remember; it was a letters round; my opponent (David ?) offered a 6-letter word and...

Champion of Champions 1993

I can't remember how it was put up originally, but the answer was RELAPSING. I buzzed in after about 15 seconds, and offered SPANGLIER, which was wrong. Anyway, a...

Series 22 Final September 1991

Does anyone remember my Final in 1991 ? I suppose it had the right ingredients for an exciting Final. It all went to the final Conundrum. I was behind as the Conundrum appeared; TOMCRUISE. After 28-29 Seconds, I got the answer COSTUMIER. As I pressed the button, I became aware of my opponent, Robert...

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Hi all, I only heard about this site watching Charlie Reams the other day, so I've now registered. I've been a Countdown fan for many years. I suppose my main claim to fame is that I was champion of Series 21 (I think) back in 1991, but I have always said that I am not one of the best players. It wa...
