Fantastic final! I thought it was going to be a bit anticlimactically one-sided but when Dan spotted METACONID, it really spiced things up.
Brilliant performances by Dylan and Dan, and congratulations, Dylan, on becoming the Champion of Champions!

I thought it was OK. A bit tough to get the hang of at first, but I think the more I watch it, the more I'll get into it. There has been a lot of negativity about the show on Twitter but I think it's too soon to criticise it. I imagine Only Connect had its critics when it started and look at it now!...

Definitely won't be May June 2015. Hoping to get it sorted for the start of Jan 2016 (transmission), which would mean filming in from Oct 2015. Will post any definite news once everything is cleared up. So does that mean the usual 16 contestants from Series 67-73 will take part (if it goes ahead)? ...
