Maybe they could vote for who they thought would win before seeing them, would rely on a lot of honesty though!

Following this sucessful topic in series 60: http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2272, lets do the same again!

I will post my contributions later, struggling for inspiration at the moment and want to watch the World Cup draw!

Douglas Wilson

Pretty self explanatory really, although feel free just to vote on the poll or to post some reasoning with it. My prediction: AH V JB – I can see this being a similar game to Kirk v Julie in series 60, with Jacky generally keeping up with Andrew, particularly if the rounds are flat but never really ...

My lips are sealed!

Admit it, you only started the thread to piss James Robinson off.

Douglas Wilson

Somebody who practises a lot on apterous beat someone else who also practises a lot on apterous. They both scored lots of points for spotting words they learnt mainly on apterous and then in the end one of them happened to score slightly more points than the other and won. So that rules out at leas...

Douglas Wilson

:oops: I feel really stupid for believing there would actually be some spoilers in here, but would have been annoyed with myself for looking and thus tarring my enjoyment of watching them in 3 weeks. Oh and disgracefully being a studio season ticket holder doesn't give your a priority ticket for the...

Douglas Wilson

A) Who is a jolly good fellow?
B) Don't go on The X Factor, Jason.

Douglas Wilson

We have at least one forumer on the show today...

Douglas Wilson

For fucks sake, eventhough quite a few people have taken issues with the spelling and omissions; this was meant to be a serious thread that I hoped would formulate some good discussion.

I can see how you have so many posts Jason, if you think cottage cheese is relevant in this topic.

Douglas Wilson

Who would attend your Countdown dinner party if you could choose: - One past/present host - One past/present Arithmatician/Lexographer - One past/present DC guest - Two past/present contestants - One free choice ie. another past/present host, Arithmatician/Lexographer, DC guest, contestant, or even ...

Is that just for the first two QFs or for the main thing?

Douglas Wilson

It seems to be a sad state of affairs, if my personal life is one of the most talked about things on a Countdown forum. P.S. I'm still not telling! As Oscar Wilde once said "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about" Get over it gang, the standard of refreshme...

Gavin Chipper wrote:So what about Jeremy Bentham, Susan Morton, Maria Martin and Scott Phillips?

Did you not read the bit 'that haven't already appeared on the show.'

And if my poll/spelling is so bad just do your own.

Douglas Wilson

Phil and Matt Morrison are obvious misses so sorry for that. Is this not the same Michael Wallace that posts on here: http://wiki.apterous.org/Michael_Wallace . I don't play on apterous but I've just looked at the ratings and Dale is 9th, Eoin 10th and Jack 18th, are any of these applying for series...

Douglas Wilson

Don't worry, this isn't a follow up to the reappearance thread, but one a bit similar to Alec's thread in the off topic section. A poll to ask out of the main forumers/apteroids that haven't been on the show, who would you most like to see? You can select upto 3 options, give as much of little reaso...

And here...

Douglas Wilson

Where is Mr Robinson today?

Douglas Wilson

Have that James Robinson!

Will Brain Sel his way to 5 out of 5 today?

Douglas Wilson

1st numbers:

(7-1)*75 = 450
(9*3-8)= 19
450-19= 431

That game is quality!

Douglas Wilson

Gavin, I seem to remember that ages ago you posted an alternative method for organising a Countdown series, in which good players wouldn't be sunk for ever simply through being allocated an unfortunate slot. IIRC the scheme also retained the concept of an Octochamp, but there my memory ends. Person...

Douglas Wilson

The correct answer is actually yellow paint, seen through green sunglasses.

Douglas Wilson

Why don't you finally do those recaps you've promised for ages Jason.

It will cheer Lara Searle up hugely.

Douglas Wilson

Birdies as a nice DC equaller in round one.

Got excited thinking openplan might be one word for round four, but evidently not.

Douglas Wilson

Jason?

Douglas Wilson

No to all of the above.

Douglas Wilson

No.

You're first answer was closer.

Douglas Wilson

Close but no cigar.

Douglas Wilson

What's green and smells of yellow paint?

Douglas Wilson

Surely the loser of this game will get another go for that error.

Douglas Wilson

Has this incident occurred yet, I've only just been able to switch on?

Douglas Wilson

The 'Ben' in the OP refers to yours truly and not to messrs Hunter, Pugh, Sisko or any other Ben (besides those others that might be going), so yes. :) Anyone got any dates for them yet? The finals are November 17th & 18th and like Kirk, I'm not actually sure if I'm going yet. I've was put on t...

Douglas Wilson

Is the guy three to the left of James, Jay from The Inbetweeners?

Douglas Wilson

IAWTP

Douglas Wilson

New month, same challenger can George make it 3 out of 3.

If anyone sees James Robinson please call 0500 700 700

Douglas Wilson

Any update on this Jason?

Douglas Wilson

Surely Oliver will be in the next series now? If the information on this thread/my maths is correct then there will be 5 shows on the 16th of November and 3 on the 17th and with him starting at some point on the 3rd of November he will have enough shows to finish his run, although there's a chance ...

Douglas Wilson

At least he has the chance to become an octochamp, oh and after only one attempt.

Douglas Wilson

About a year ago Betty said to someone in the Rovers that her son Gordon (who I don't think has ever been shown on screen) had applied to go on Countdown.

Douglas Wilson

Are any more apteroids applying/auditioning/recording/transmitting in the next few months?

Out of curiosity, how often has that happened? Can't imagine it would have happened too many times?

I can't give an exact figure but more often than you would expect. Some series have had 2 or 3 of these.

Douglas Wilson

This thread is to invite you to the latest and revolutionary Countdown event. What will happen is that we will hire a venue and everyone will go for a dump, an independent adjudicator will then decide what letter of the alphabet their dump looks most like and we will then play countdown with the let...

Haha.

That wasn't a joke Kirk.

Douglas Wilson

Is this recap ever going to happen Jason?

You seem more interested in talking about it than actually doing it.

Douglas Wilson

13.06 and still no spoilers thread, has anyone checked if James is still alive.

Douglas Wilson

What I don't understand is that I know the board where Rachel writes the solutions is the back of where the letters are displayed but where does the tray that holds the numbers in before they are picked come from?

Douglas Wilson

I don't think it's fair to slate the challenger for picking 4 large, that's his perogative. Due to some difficult numbers and lack of nines before today, Chris will need to average 122.6 in his remaining three games to topple Andrew as number one seed. Looks like an Innis v Chris semi is on the cards!

Douglas Wilson

If he gets the last numbers spot on as well as the conundrum, Chris will need two 6s and a 7 to equal the second highest score in 15 rounds and two 7s and a 6 to beat it by one.

He can't equal or beat the record of 146 without another 9.

Douglas Wilson

Started early to piss James Robinson and Matthew Green off.

Douglas Wilson

Today's challenger looks like he'd be a riot down the pub.

Douglas Wilson

Kirk should be made official bookmaker for the tournement.

Douglas Wilson

My flatmate said Chris looks like Ozzy Osbourne.

Douglas Wilson

In Corrie about 6 months ago, Betty was working behind the bar and mentioned to one of the regulars (I can't remember who) that her son Gordon had applied to go on Countdown.

Douglas Wilson

In About at Boy, Hugh Grant is seen watching Countdown on more than one occasion.

Douglas Wilson

To clarify I was not implying that Supee is Phil's alter ego, I knew that she was a real person but referred to her as 'they' as I was unsure of her gender and didn't want to cause offence.

I realise that it was an inappropriate thread to ask the question and for which I apologise.

Douglas Wilson

As would you if you were trying to play this game in your third language.

I'm to tired to have a clue what your on about, all I know is they love the numbers attack.

Douglas Wilson

Hi, I'm quite new to apterous, as is my son. We sometimes play each other, with him on the PC upstairs and me on the laptop downstairs. Is this considered cheating? If it is, we are not very good at cheating as can be seen from our ratings! Not sure how you could even consider the possibility that ...

What about Ed? Surely, he'll be hoping that he wins!

I imagine Andrew and Innis wouldn't mind!

If anyone wants to see the incident again/for the first time but can't be bothered to see the whole show go straight for 24 minutes exactly, on 4OD. (You'll still have to watch the adverts first though) There was 8 of silence between calculations, although that may have been edited down. Also notice...
