We just crowned an octochamp in Mark Murphy. As a result, for one of the first times all series, we have two new contestants today. Who will win out? We also have a new guest in the corner today, Arlene Phillips. She's a brunette. That's about all I know about her.

What more impressed me than anything about Mark is how well he did under the circumstances of his run. At least 3 opponents he faced probably could have been octochamps in their own right, and so to score that well and still score 902 really impresses me. Really well done Mark.

Jordan F

Mark Murray got through another tough opponent yesterday, and is now up to 6 wins. Can he end this week on a 7th?

Sort of an aside, but Michael mentioned a disability for himself, and from what I recall watching Only Connect, the only thing I noticed about you was one eye perhaps looked like a lazy eye. This is just me being curious, but is there more to it than that? Again, I just happen to not know.

Jordan F

Man, the standard Mark's gone against is unbelievable. Well done pulling it off yet again against another very tough opponent in Peter. And unlucky Peter, you too probably could have been one of the top 5 contestants of this series had you not gone against Mark. Good lord Mark's run and his opponent...

Jordan F

I did not think this was until later on, but today's challenger is Apterite Peter Steggle, known to us as Pete Steg. He also has had a brush with success before, being the captain on the Bakers team on Only Connect who lost to Michael Wallace and the boys on the Board Gamers. We'll see how this clas...

Jordan F

Mark Murray continues to roll on, getting a 5th win with an average of over 111 per game. Will he get the 6th? If he does, I believe that will clinch him a place in the finals and make him, in my opinion, a real threat to win it all.

Another win for Mark Murray puts him at 4 Is a fifth in the cards?

Jordan F

Mark Murray got over his toughest test thus far yesterday in fellow apterite Ciaran McCarthy. He's looking pretty strong so far, against strong competition to boot, but how will he do in game number 4?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

I have internet again! So I can do this properly this time! At the end of this week, Mark Murray got his first win on his second debut. Can he get another one to wrap up the week? What's fun about this one is that the winner will face an apterite on Monday, one who's making history too, so we'll see...

Jordan F

Yeah, that was me trying to get it up on the phone in a bit of a rush more than anything. Whoops.

Jordan F

I'll put a bit more effort in because of circumstances.

We have a champ. I don't know who it is. But I do know that facing this person today is one of us, apterite Mark Murray. This is his second debut, first appearing in 1999. Can he win again 15 years later?

James'll recap later.

Jordan F

Again, no internet so I will simply say stuff happened yesterday and stuff will happen today. Also, I will get my Tuesdays and Thursdays right someday. Robbo will recap. Yay.

Jordan F

I have limited internet so can't do much. Stuff happened, stuff will happen, Callum will recap. Yay.

Jordan F

Back to normal on the spoilers. I got the day right and no pranks this time. On a side note, sincere apologies to those who were sad or bothered by my "April Fool's Joke" if you can call it that. Sincerely no harm meant, was just trying to do something in the spirit of the day, probably sh...

Jordan F

Part of Series 70 still or would it sneak into 71?

Jordan F

So apparently they did it again. Something happened and they're going back into the bin of specials that were taped. We like law enforcement. They help keep things orderly and neat. So why not have a special between them? This also features two people who were close to making the series finals of th...

Jordan F

I don't know my Countdown history, but was that one of the biggest comebacks on the show in terms of points ever? Certainly seems like the biggest in the Hewer era, though I'm not certain.

Jordan F

I thought Trevor said MORTARED, which not only is missing an R but is also an 8. Did I not hear his word clearly?

Jordan F

As we wrap up this week, we have yet another new champion, Peter Cross. Not many people have won multiple games this week, can Peter get the trend going in the right direction? As with last week, we have a new guest today because of the odd scheduling, presenter with a notable accent, Colin Murray. ...

Another day, another new champion as it turns out. This time, Jonathan Worrall. Is a second in the cards?

As we wrap up the week, Cliff Lee has 3 wins, can he get a fourth? We have a new guest for today as well making only her second ever appearance on the show, Maureen Lipman. I don't remember her or what she did, all I know is that her name is Maureen, and she has a lip, man. Join Anthony for the reca...

Cliff Lee got another win, can he get another? It's our last Tim Vine day for now because of the odd schedule as well, so figure out what quick puns he's going to say this time.

OLEFINS in R13? Not sure if it's only olefin or if you can pluralize it.

Jordan F

PROBES for a 6 in that round before the third numbers, since nobody did say they actually had a 6.

And speaking of that third numbers, a bit late but I did get 737 by doing (100-2) x 8 - 50 + (75/25).

Jordan F

Sean Connors is up to his second win, he would need at least a third to even possibly get into the top 8, however. Can he get there?

This I believe will be the last Catsdown that was recorded from this particular block. We'll see if there's more. I don't know too much and didn't catch any promos of it, but from what I'm reading online, both James Corden and Kevin Bridges return to help Jon Richardson and Sean Lock win fabulous Co...

Perhaps game of the series right there. First of all, congrats to Andy on becoming an octochamp. Some tough games, including today, but you held through. And secondly, very unlucky to Martin, I think you and Brett were handily his toughest competition, and you definitely could have won a few games i...

Jordan F

Is this our Martin Thompson? Didn't read the name fully (tuned in late), but it looks like it.

After a series with high and low points, we finally hit a point that we have amazingly not reached in the series thus far. Andy Naylor has a chance to become the first octochamp of the series after nearly two months. The good news is that even if he loses, he'll be the number 1 seed of the series as...

Jordan F

Andy Naylor is up to 6 wins. 6 wins seems to be the curse this year, in that nobody has gotten past that mark. Can he be the first and get the 7th? The good news is that even if he doesn't win, he should be the number 1 seed for the series right now unless he has a really really bad game, just 12 po...

Jordan F

Andy Naylor's up to 5 wins, the first contestant to get this far since Andy Gardner a couple weeks ago. Can he get a 6th? If he can, 99 or more will get him to number 3, 105 or more will get him to number 2, and 116 or more will get him to number 1. Of course, if he loses, he stays at number 4. We'l...

Technically, Susie didn't say BUTCHSOD wasn't in, did she not? If so, tech 8 points for Jon?

In reality, CUBOIDS as an equaller in that round.

Another episode of Catsdown hits our screen today. Jon Richardson plays with James Corden, who I've actually heard of in the US! Sean Lock plays with Jack Dee.

Another win for our own Brett Davids yesterday. Can he get a third today? I can't remember if this is actually tomorrow, but I do believe that in the way today is...not quite an apterite, but someone close. Jon Stitcher has not been on Countdown in quite sometime. And it will stay that way for now, ...

Happy Valentine's Day everybody. And it's a good day for Adrian Day, our new champion. He'd like to end the week on win number 2, but he does have a hurdle in his path. That hurdle is apterite Brett Davids, who we've been waiting to see for awhile. Let's see what happens. Join Anthony for the recap ...

Andy Gardner is now the third player to get at least 6 wins this series. The other two did not get a seventh. Can he be the first?

Andy Gardner's had a couple tough scrapes, but he still has 5 wins. Can he get a 6th? If he does, or scores 60 or more, he will become number 3 seed for now.
