The rule where you MUST have your word written down would work and like you say if you spot a word after 30 seconds it is invalid and spotting it before you can start to write and finish after. So yes that would work, no need for buttons (just off top of my head, I didn't give it much thought). How ...

Ryan Taylor

You either have the word (in which case you can commit it to paper in <2 secs), or you don't. Plain as. If you spot the word on the 30 second mark, wouldn't it look dodgier to pick up your pen and write after the time than to just say "not written down"? No. Somebody would have to make th...

I went to an audition for Pointless yesterday. I'm surprised you didn't bump into a couple more forumites there as there were two others auditioning yesterday! Could be a bumper series for Countdowners on Pointless! Dinos I believe auditioned yesterday at the same place as me but I didn't know this...

I went to an audition for Pointless yesterday. There was a guy running late and he came running in. (There were 4 pairs of people). After the audition process we chatted about past quiz shows we'd been on, and the guy who was late said he was on The Chase last week. It was at this moment that it cli...

This has all happened very quickly. Excellent work from you Matt - it is appreciated!

Think I'm meant to do yesterday's. Haven't had time yet though, I've been far too busy working.

Michael Wallace wrote:If you're interested in increasing the chance of upsets - why do best of 3?

This.

Just one game means if you under perform then tough luck. Also flat scoring evens it out making a mistake very costly, like in a football match sometimes. LLNLLLLNLL?

Whilst pounding training miles out at the gym, I had an idea for a new variant.

Assuming Oliver and Craig win their QF's then whoever wins the semi final (between Oliver and Craig) will go on to win it, surely. I voted for Craig. Craig's numbers are superb and if he gets two picks at the numbers then this could be vital, although Oliver is also very good with the numbers game. ...

Not seen this yet. I stupid presumed that I had sky plussed it so when I cam to look in the planner and realise it wasn't there I got a shock. What I had done was series link The Chase rather then AQoG so there wasn't a clash and forgot I had. Hopefully will catch it on iplayer this week.

I must admit I have just forgotten about it and haven't voted for a long time. Possibly if you vote one week then you get 5 top dogs a day rather than 3 or something. Probably a shit idea depending on how easy it is to do and also if people care about top dog.
