100% was cancelled by a commissioner called Kevin Lygo. Wonder if there was some family loyalty act of revenge going on there. :lol: They may be brothers, both are around the same age. A couple of other game shows to mention, Turnabout (good fun game and excellent host back in the day) and UK Jeopa...

Jojo Apollo

Oh, and another vote for 100%. That show ruled. Who can forget the incredible Ian Lygo on that, unbeaten for 75 shows (a world record for most consecutive wins on a game show I believe) and the crazy decision of the producer who changed the rules so he could get rid of him. There was a news item on...

Jojo Apollo

Which defunct shows would you like to see return? I'd like to see the return of BrainTeaser (minus the dodgy phone-in comps), 100%, Going For Gold, Knightmare (with updated SFX technology), Catchword, In the Grid (wasn't really given a good run originally), Beat the Teacher (updated for Uni students...

My two pence worth : 1) Tyson Fury to beat Deontay Wilder in the rematch and beat Anthony Joshua later in the year 2) Keir Starmer to become Labour leader 3) Noah Lyles to win the Olympic 100m and 200m double 4) The Countdown high score record to be beaten 5) Judd Trump to become another victim of ...

From a few days ago: https://www.itv.com/hub/quizmaster/2a6225a0001 An exciting quiz featuring quite a few of the quizzing greats. Well worth a watch

An interesting read of a football betting strategy that supposedly guaranteed a profit: https://exploitativebetting.co.uk/dr-slicers-holy-grail-betfair-strategy-debunked/ Dr Slicer’s Holy Grail Betfair Strategy – Debunked?

ENSILAGES in Round 10.

Countdown has finally gone green by dropping the usage of paper (At long last!) and going with a permanent whiteboard!

The writing is harder to see on the new permanent whiteboard.

Couldn't they use the magnetic numbers with the blue background and symbols instead?

Just wanted to say 'mumbler' in one of the rounds.
Can't make out what you're saying - can you speak more clearly?

Jojo Apollo

He's done it again!!! Magnificent Mellor, smashes the previous world record for 8 games, first one to break the 1000 baririer.

Simply superb, many congrats Mr Mellor.

I knew you could do it.

Really looking forward to seeing this week's episodes now

Jojo Apollo

Eggheads Pat and Kevin have also been phone a friends. I don't think former Egghead CJ has been though

Jojo Apollo

Maybe eyes playing tricks but was the wrong spelling of DIADEM put up,or are there two ways of spelling it?

Jojo Apollo

Superb performance by Zarte once again, an all time great no doubt about it, extremely strong in all disciplines. :) Great performance also by Bradley to be series runner-up. 8-) Well done Team Countdown on bringing all these top guns together for a magnificent shoot-out series.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent nip and tuck game, well done chaps. Also well done Team Countdown on another great series.

Jojo Apollo

Maths degree, extremely boring and a waste of time, I should've been playing more snooker instead.

Film Studies sounds a fun subject.

Jojo Apollo

Just got around to seeing these games due to the World Cup clashes and catch up tv taking it's sweet time loading up the Thursday semi. Superb final, best game of the series. Very well done Zarte on becoming series champ, magnificent performances throughout, many congrats sir 8-) , I only remembered...

Jojo Apollo

Excellent double ton game, best game of the series so far. Well done chaps

Jojo Apollo

Wowzers! What a game. :shock: Superb stuff, Zarte good to see you given another chance after the Dylan match from last time. Well done Philip, hopefully it should be enough to make the quarters, if not you definitely deserve another go in a future series. 8-) Are the pairings totally random or is th...

Jojo Apollo

Excellent ton debut, well done Philip. Good to see you enjoying the experience.

Jojo Apollo

How many times has the finals gone as expected per seeding as in this series? Five previous times, namely Series 23, 25, 45, 63 and 68. (I'm not Rain Man; there's a handy-dandy template listing those instances on the wiki.) Ah cheers Johnny. :) I'm assuming Bradley took the risk on the last numbers...

Jojo Apollo

Great game, lads. Well played both, a fitting nail-biting crucial conundrum game between the two top players of the series. :) Many congrats Tom on becoming series champ, well deserved and well done Bradley on being series runner-up. Another top notch series, well done the Countdown team. 8-) How ma...

Jojo Apollo

Excellent contest chaps. Well done Bradley on making the final, good match play there. Well done John on making the final four.

Great to see OFAH legend John "Boycie" Challis in Dictionary Corner. Marlene has let him off the leash finally.

Jojo Apollo

Very well done Martin on becoming an octochamp and number 1 seed.

An excellent set of games there.

Jojo Apollo

Well that was a turn-up for the books, the exchange odds were all over the shop.

Jojo Apollo

Interesting tactics for Conrad's last numbers game. I thought he would play it safe(ish) and go for 1 large and have the shootout on the conundrum because it would still be one if he got the target and Paul didn't, then again the conundrum may have been so tough that neither got it and Conrad would...

Jojo Apollo

Great final, many congrats to Paul on becoming series champ, awesome form as ever, very worthy champ and great wordsmith 8-) also congrats to Ann on becoming series runner-up, great form throughout the series and very gracious in victory and defeat. :) Well done to the Countdown team for yet another...

Hi Jojo - I thought emphysema was spelt en-physema and it never occurred to me to try it with em-physema. That said, it was such a fantastic game and I was honoured to be a part of it and am so pleased for Ann. Seriously, I couldn't have lost to a nicer lady. Ah righto, yeah those type of words are...

Jojo Apollo

No probs, Robin. It was a classic, you don't get many games with both contestants scoring 110+

I couldn't quite make out what was said at the end, did you say you saw the conundrum but thought it was spelt differently?

Was FRONDEUR available in one of the rounds?

Super game played in good spirits, very well done to both of you. Many congrats to Ann on making the final, also well done Robin on making the final four.
