Very unlucky there, Callum. Hopefully you will get another chance in the future.

Jojo Apollo

Well done to Mark on becoming an octochamp, good set of games there.

Nope. What was the magic word, Tony?

Well done to Tricia on becoming an octochamp, an excellent set of games there.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent standard of play from Tricia again.

Innis was just on the University Challenge: Class of 2014 documentary (part 1 of 2) which follows students trying to win a place on the quiz, not sure if Innis and his team mates passed the audition but they seemed a strong team, so I would expect so, tune in tomorrow to find out. :) Here is the 1s...

Very well done Mark, a very worthy series champion.

Also well done Andy for being series runner-up.

Another great series, well done the Countdown team.

Jojo Apollo

Good game, chaps. Well done to Andy on reaching the final and well done to Samir for making the final four.

Yes I think it did, I just thought my telly was out of sync.

Jojo Apollo

Good game, chaps, well done Mark on reaching the final and well done Neil for making the final four.

Jojo Apollo

Good contest, well done on making the semi-finals, Mark.

Jojo Apollo

Well done Samir on becoming an octochamp, good set of games there.

Jojo Apollo

Unlucky, James, good effort there. Well done on making the final three today

Jojo Apollo

Superb set of games, Mark. Congrats on becoming an octochamp

Jojo Apollo

Quite a big flaw, I think. You might argue that the players should be expected to have a sense of fair play and not do something quite so blatant as that, but there's still a grey area. Buzzing in the middle of a question when you've got an idea of what's going to be asked is a legitimate tactic us...

Jojo Apollo

It's another flaw of the game but they could put it down as "good tactics".

Jojo Apollo

Another great game, well done both.

Mark's nerves must be near shattered with the murderers' row he is facing.

Jojo Apollo

Yeah it was allowed originally, I think they changed it because Martin always used to nominate back immediately as a form of intimidation. When they changed it so that you couldn't immediately nominate, he used to nominate back on the very next question after. Yes, I remember him well too, he was s...

Using his old intimidation tactics of immediately nominating back the contestant who has nominated him.

Jojo Apollo

I see former 15 to 1 contestant Martin Riley is on today's show.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent double ton game, lads.

Hopefully Ciaran will be given another chance in another series.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent game chaps, best of the series so far.

Jojo Apollo

There was a former Grange Hill teacher (actor) on today's show I think.

Jojo Apollo

Shocking news, it was always a pleasure to play against this courteous and very modest gentleman on Apterous.

Condolences to his family.

Jojo Apollo

It's not bad, it would be better if they let the other Eggheads each have a turn though.

Jojo Apollo

Wasn't David Acton the former Countdown champion who was a vegan, not Adam Acton?

Jojo Apollo

Cheers James. I was hoping it would take the DOND slot.

I have an audition for the revival of 15-To-1 on January 20. 8-) Definitely can't wait for that, they've also just announced that the top prize for that will be £40,000. (Definitely better than an Ancient Greek vase, etc. :P ) Great news about the return of 15-To-1 :) James, good luck, will it be a...

Jojo Apollo

Ah good to hear of this new series, good luck Ian. Isn't CJ returning to the regular series also, he seemed to imply it on his youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijScN41dkuI He also interviews fellow Eggheads: Kevin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0sBOHK604k Barry: http://www.youtube.com...

Jojo Apollo

WOW!!! Superb game, best and most exciting game of the series, a very fitting end to the series. Very well done lads. :D Callum you should be renamed Iceman, you seemed to have no nerves there and excellent match play strategy on the numbers, many congrats on the win. Congrats to you too Dylan on yo...

Jojo Apollo

Good game, well done chaps. Good match play there Callum by risking the eight also. Well done Glen on making the semis.

Jojo Apollo

Great game, well played lads. Well done for the win Dylan and well done Bradley on making the semis.

Jojo Apollo

Good contest, well played chaps.

Jojo Apollo

Well done Glen, good ton there. The semi-final should be a great match, tricky one to call. Well done to Jonathan also for making the quarters.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent exciting game, well done both.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent performance again from Dylan, great first numbers round.

Well done to Gemma also for making the quarters.

Jojo Apollo

Top quality game there, well done chaps.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent game, well played chaps.

Jojo Apollo

No don't reveal, Callum. That would be a future spoiler, I must have misheard/misintrepeted what Rachel said on today's show.

Jojo Apollo

Didn't Rachel say that Callum would be in the quarter finals, on today's show?

Jojo Apollo

Exciting game that, well played lads.

Congrats on making the quarters, Callum.

Jojo Apollo

Very well done, Jen, on a great set of games during your octorun.

The quarters are shaping up nicely.

Jojo Apollo

Shame they all missed the final 9 in round 13 - but first 12 maxes + a 13th on the numbers is pretty hot by Jen. That answers my question. Jojo, I thought Ned blocked Jen from getting a max game with the conundrum, but clearly not now. Ah righto, Jordan, I thought I missed him breaking a pen or som...

What do you think he broke?

Superb performance by Jen again, very well done.

Taxi for Platt.

Another excellent ton, well done Jen.

Today's episode reminded me of the 80's game show: "Beat the Teacher".

Jojo Apollo

I think Derek was more than a bit unlucky with 'untimed' though, as that's what a paralympic swimming race was described as last week when the timing mechanism failed and some swimmers thought they'd beaten their pbs, but unfortunately it didn't count as the race was 'untimely' - erm, not quite the...

I got that too.

But then went for minuter in one of the rounds.

Well done Jen, good ton debut.

Jojo Apollo

Brilliant set of games there, Dylan.

Many congrats on the new record.

Jojo Apollo

Surprised owleries wasn't in. Well done Dylan another good ton score.

Unlucky Dominic, I echo what Jordan said about you.

Jojo Apollo

Another good ton win, well done Dylan.

Jojo Apollo

Allow me to point out the elephant in the room. I think people WANT you to have been screwed over because they like you and not Dylan, so the outcome is unsatisfactory, so blame needs to be placed. A natural if unfair reaction. Agreed with you on all counts, though. Shit happens, and you took the h...

Jojo Apollo

Another good ton score, well done Dylan.

I went for trapesium in the SEPTARIUM round.

Jojo Apollo

How far in advance does a reigning champ know who his/her opponents will be, should he/she continue to win? Zarte when did you know that Dylan would be your opponent for a possible sixth game, if you got that far?
