Opposite the letters/numbers board, on the other side of the studio.

Ah, cheers Graeme.

Jojo Apollo

That is interesting, I always thought they were separate boards. Where is the conundrum board?

Jojo Apollo

Good match, well done to Liam on becoming an octochamp.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent news, hopefully it will happen, seeing the greats battling it out makes great TV viewing. :) I would prefer to see it seeded like the supreme championship was though, with it building up to a big dramatic final showdown. I don't really want to see the favs eg. Kirk, Conor, Innis etc knock...

Rosie was very unlucky today, I wonder if she had a 7 when she gave radioers as an answer................... :? ONLIEST in round 1, RAIMENTS in round 9, GAVOTTES in round 11 and UPCASED in round 13. 3rd Numbers Alt.: ((25 + 10) x (8 + 7)) + 4 - 3 = 526 Yeah she was unlucky, she probably had radioes...

What a nice surprise, I had no idea that this special match had taken place. Great match, lads

Very well played, Ed, brilliant as ever

Rachel nearly nobbled you with the numbers there again.

Well done to Graeme also.

Jojo Apollo

Great spirited final, well played lads, both very evenly matched.

Congrats to Jack on becoming the champ

also well done to Jonathan on making the final.

Well done to the Countdown crew on another splendid series.

Jojo Apollo

Great game, lads, well played.

Well done to Jack for making the final and well done to Peter in making the semis, and being a great sport throughout.

Jojo Apollo

Well played, Jonathan, another excellent performance. Congrats on making it to the final.

Really looking forward to tomorrow's semi, should be a very close game ( I'm not referring to the Germany vs Italy match).

Jojo Apollo

Phew! Well done, Peter, on getting through to the semis

I thought you were going to get pipped on the conundrum there, also well done to Victoria for making it go down to the wire.

The three top seeds all safely through.

Jojo Apollo

I think ONENESS was in the FOEHNS round.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Jack, in getting through to the semis.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Jonathan, on becoming an octochamp, an excellent set of games.

The three big guns are all safely through to the quarters.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Peter, on becoming an Octochamp. A splendid run.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent game, well played lads.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Peter, good ton debut.

Jojo Apollo

Watching it now, wasn't he on it before?

Jojo Apollo

There's a cat hidden away on every show, which you can see if you look hard enough. Think of "Where's Wally?" Harry Hill's: "Where has the knitted character been this week?" etc.

The Countdown Cat was very tricky to see on today's show.

Jojo Apollo

Congrats Jack on becoming an octochamp, very good set of games there.

Jojo Apollo

Was INSOURCES in the first round?

Jojo Apollo

Turnabout had quite a good theme:

Jojo Apollo

Yes Carl certainly made it a final to remember so you have to give him credit for that.

There's an article on Carl here:

Jojo Apollo

YIKES!!! Graeme, you had me worried the whole way, I was shouting at the screen on the conundrum for you to get it. Many congrats,

very exciting but nerve-wracking game to watch.

Well done to the Countdown team for another great series, and special thanks to Jeff for all the great memories.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Graeme, on making the final.

Hard lines to Paul, good spirited semi-final there.

Jojo Apollo

What a big shock, I was sure Mark would win that one. Anyway well done in getting to the semis, Mark.

Let's see if Graeme can get through to the final tomorrow, or is another shock on the cards.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Graeme, excellent standard as ever. The two big guns safely through

Jojo Apollo

Great show today, lots of laughs.

Well done Mark, hard lines to David and well done to Jeff for 956, Rachel must do better though.

Jojo Apollo

Just noticed on Youtube that someone has uploaded computer simulations of the Masters episodes:

They're quite good.

Funny moment on The Chase today:

Jojo Apollo

Some suggestions: 1) Live editions like DOND are doing now 2) A cross between 15 to 1 and Countdown, 15 contestants, Round 1: each contestant has three lives, everyone is given the same set of letters at the same time and they have to find the longest word, those that don't, lose a life. Round 2: sa...

Jojo Apollo

Well done Ben etc, it was a well run grand tournament. Well done to the Division champs too.

Jojo Apollo

Yep, watched every episode since the days of the Supreme Championship ( hopefully we will get to see another one in the near future ).

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Jayne, on becoming an octochamp.

Jojo Apollo

Very good game there, very high standard.

On a recent edition of The Media Show, Channel 4 executive Stuart Cosgrove responds to Des Lynam's criticism of the Athletics coverage, he also mentions Des' first Countdown appearance.

No longer valid, it seems.

Ah righto, seems POUNCERS is still valid though, on Apterous anyway.

POUNCER round 13 eg. The Peckham Pouncer.

Ryan Taylor makes his pro boxing debut this Thursday:

Good luck, Ryan

Jojo Apollo

Well done Dave, on becoming an octochamp.

Jojo Apollo

Ouch painful viewing of the ex-athletics host:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6o52kZxvtg

I wonder if he is the new Countdown host.

p.s Channel 4 seems to be removing these videos out of embarrassment, so don't expect this one to stay up for long.

Jojo Apollo

Just a reminder it starts at 1am tonight on channel 4: http://athletics.channel4.com/ I think the race of the championships will be the 110m hurdles, with the three fastest ever hurdlers taking part. Anyway it will be interesting to see how channel 4 covers the championship, hopefully there won't be...

Jojo Apollo

Reminds me of the time David Acton declined the dictionaries and took the cd version instead. Something about being a vegan, I think.

Jojo Apollo

In please, sir.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, Mark, on becoming an octochamp and done with good humour throughout.

Jojo Apollo

Great game, lads.

Jojo Apollo

This is a good Saturday TV show, which makes a change from the usual tosh.

Jojo Apollo

It's a shame the fight didn't live up to the hype.

Here's Klitschko with the last laugh:

Jojo Apollo

Crazy choice there on the last numbers round, good fun though.

Jojo Apollo

Great game lads.

Also another good week's stint by The Punslinger.

Jojo Apollo

Wow! Never seen that before, a nice touch.

Jojo Apollo

Good to see the Punslinger back in dictionary corner

Jojo Apollo

Check out this youtube video of their HBO face off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lDZhnxAwS0

Quite a chilling stare from Klitschko after Haye gets under his skin, all good stuff before the big heavyweight showdown on July 2nd. Who will win???

I think Haye will win.

Jojo Apollo

Great contest there, well played.

Jojo Apollo

Aye and it's valid for Apterous, wouldn't be surprised to see them give Graeme those extra seven points back at some point.

Also commiserations to Liam, that was a very good contest.

No it was two N's wasn't it not two L's.

Jojo Apollo

FLATLINED in round one I think.

Great ton debut Graeme.

Also commiserations to Liam, that was a very good contest.

Jojo Apollo

Yeah that first numbers game was very impressive and under such tension too.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent game lads, brilliant standard. 8-) Well done Ed, you now take your place amongst the Countdown greats, and all done in a classy manner. :D Good you kept your wits about you by not letting Rachel pick the numbers. :lol: Well done to Adam too, on making the final, you would have beaten many ...
