Re: Spoilers for Wednesday July 3rd 2013 (Series 69 Prelim..

Did the guy on Digital Spy get a name? Glen maybe? Then we can start searching the news for rape and murder and stuff. From speaking to Glen personally, he tells me that the guy played on the show, then soon after it was done recording, he left cos a family member was ill, but apparently he wasn't ...

Re: COHUD2 - Countdown In Huddersfield 2 - Saturday 6 July 2

Andy, there was a MALE contestant from North Yorkshire, Richard Vaughan. He played Glen Webb on 7th June. Could this be the one you are thinking of?
If so, it rather puts a hole in the theory that they may be the 'unidentified' ad respondees. :roll:

Possibly. I'm looking at whether or not I can make mid-July at the moment. I'll let you know if I do, otherwise it's likely to be August or September. :)

Hi Zarte

I was in the audience Monday afternoon, so saw the first 3 shows of the day. You were the challenger for the last one.
You could call it spying I suppose :lol:
Also leaves me open to the same accusation with Andy Platt and Glen Webb, lol.

It's gonna make for a heck of a final between him and Andy. That is of course assuming there are no more octo skeletons in the closet.

Theoretically being the operative word. The truth was, once Conor got 18 ahead there was no way back for even the greatest challenger, which Jack was of course.

Re: Monday 11th March 2013 (Series 68, Prelim 6)

I'm guessing it's happened a lot more in the past but because it all gets a bit awkward, they've had to re-shoot with the person offering a shorter word or something. Might be wrong, but didn't it just rely on trust? I certainly don't remember thinking I had to say I hadn't written my word down (or...

Re: 10 ways to improve Countdown Viewing Figures

I agree, the 'sorry to disappoint you but it's Countdown' remark was below the belt. What would have been wrong with putting that rubbish 'Face The Clock' on at 2.40 and keeping Countdown at 3.10? If you keep changing the time of any show it's asking for trouble. Countdown was doing very nicely at 4...
