Richard Brittain is the best since I've been watching, second place would be a toss up between Gallen, Beevers, Travers, Bevins and Wainwright.

Digital Spy is the sort of website, for people that have no job and no friends. I bet 90% of the people who posted on that forum have watched Loose Women on catch up, have their owe way of cooking a pot noodle and have a bingo website amongst their favourites. Just ignore them it's an interlectual w...

My vote is Leeds, the bog roll was softer in the toilets.

Bloody credit crunch..

Douglas Wilson

Well done too both players. Kirk, I think you deserved the win based on the hard work that you've put in over the years and hope you continue too be part of the scene. Jimmy, I thought you were the player that had most improved since the heats. I don't know if you plan to stick at it, but I think yo...

Douglas Wilson

Very unlucky James and well done Jimmy. Either player could have won it and Jimmy must have felt lucky as both underperformed in my opinion, but in fairness, it must have been hard to see past Rachel. Looking forward to my Phil Hammond 15 minute medical degree now. Great summary. :D Well done Jimmy...

Really, yes it was close but the letters were pretty flat and there were a fair few spots you would have expected players of their calibre to have got.

Cheers Jon, would rather watch it though.

Also am I supposed to know who Sudberry is?

Douglas Wilson

I love how this thread has practically turned into predicting who will lose to Kirk in the final :) I reckon Jimmy, with Cate and Neil as the other 2 semi-finalists. Ha, very true Dinos. Eventhough it looks as though one player will dominate, I am very much looking forward to all of the games and s...

Douglas Wilson

I've spent the morning off work sick and thus watched the half dozen or so episodes of Countdown I had missed from the current series on Youtube or 4OD. The only one I can't find on either is from the 13th April, can anyone suggest anywhere I can find it or possibly have a look on Youtube to see if ...

Douglas Wilson

No idea has havn't had the chance to see any of her shows due to work commitments.

HOWEVER, judging by that picture I will be watching 40D tonight rather than freeview channel 97 tonight.

Douglas Wilson

Love the song, who are you advocating singing it about and how are you changing the lyrics?

Douglas Wilson

I've just had a brainwave and come up with one for James: I'm relying on you remembering the Chewits advert from about 5 years ago: 'I like to chew it chew it...', I can't seem to find it on youtube. Anyway: LETTERS He likes to do it do it, he likes to DO IT x3 NUMBERS He likes to do it do it, he li...

Douglas Wilson

Does raw score mean literally the number they scored without taking into account their opponent?

Douglas Wilson

I agree with your outcomes, if not your descriptions. Any descriptions in particular Jon? Erm... dunno really. Maybe that Jimmy will be closer to Kirk than Neil? Who knows. Fair enough, I just thought JG looked fairly nervous during the heats and an explosive start by Kirk could knock him sideways.

Douglas Wilson

Well done to those who have replied so far, was expecting a greater quantity though with you being such intellegent and creative people.

As the title says, it will be interesting to see what people think; but if you havn't got time for analysis then just do the poll. A prize of unknown origin for anyone who predicts the route perfectly and didn't see it film or compete in it. Quarter Finals: Kirk Bevins v Julie Russell/Jaqueline Bake...

I already did this for Neil Zussman. Brilliant, maybe we could have that and finish it with a few tribal chants of ZUSS ZUSS ZUSS. Anyway my mate Steve has come up with this one for Shane. (Feel free to remove if it's seen to be offensive.) He's fat! He's round! Maybe he'll win the crown. Shane Rob...

Sorry for posting this topic twice, no idea how that happened. Anyway me and my flat mates have been racking our brains and have come up with the following. Neil Zussman: ZUSS ZUSS ZUSS ZUSS ZUSS ZUSS (Whilst doing a pointing action) Hamish Williamson (can also be used for Julie if she makes it): Wi...

Douglas Wilson

Simple one, each of the finalists for series 60 needs a football style song/chant.

Submit them on this topic, or even sing and post it on youtube if you're really brave.

I'll decide the winner for each player, or I'll request a poll if there are a lot submitted.

You'll also get all the new bonus stuff as that rolls out, and I'll be open to suggestions from the player base Hmmmm.... Good point, I guess I didn't work hard enough for the £15. Or in your case, £0. If Man Utd sold season tickets with the promise of entry to every game that season and then asked...

So to clarify: Scenario 1: Chris loses tomorrow and that is the end of that. Scenario 2: Chris wins tomorrow but loses on Monday he will be in the finals providing he scores more that 356 points (Current 8th seed Julie Russell's total) Scenario 3: Chris wins tomorrow and Monday but loses on either T...

Maize as a contestant beater in R1.

Thought Steve Davies came across as a bit of a tit also. Yeah I thought that too but I've heard good things about him so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I, like many on here am a snooker fan and he is a very good pundit on that and when I heard he was on it thought he would be suitable. Di...

Douglas Wilson

Good debut, scoring in every round I believe.

Not a fan of the shirt though.

I wouldn't say young girls aren't geeky, but I think they would be more embarrased about a hobby such as Countdown; whereas the competitive aspect probably appeals to guys.

Douglas Wilson

I had a very boring train journey over the weekend and my thoughts drifted to Countdown. I was thinking about the best players over the last few series and although it is a common observation that normally at least 6 out the 8 quarterfinalists in a series are male what struck me was that the few top...

Douglas Wilson

I've just spent a few minute browsing the apterous players list, apterous forum and also the forum for events such as COLIN and COBRIS. What struck me was how little some former greats such as Gallen, Shore, Tourneoff and Travers are involved in the Countdown community these days. I was just wonderi...

2nd Numbers:

(8x5) - (6+3) = 31

31 x 25 = 775

775 + 5 = 782

1st Numbers:

8/8 = 1
75+1 = 76
7 - (4/4) = 6

76 x 6 = 456

When I try to get onto the site I get the 'this page can not be displayed message'.

Ah well I can go out and see real people now.

Douglas Wilson

As I have never been on the show I may be wide of the mark with this idea but please read anyway. I think that some potentially good contestants are lost because they're are beaten by to be Octochamps. You may say this is being beaten fair and square but if you sit in the challengers chair playing s...

Douglas Wilson

Cool, does anyone know what presenters were lined up?

Douglas Wilson

Any advance on my question?

Douglas Wilson

You can't count them if the shows were never aired. Who knows how many "Generation Game" presenters there's been? (Bet you miss one out!) The person I had this conversation with wasn't disputing the answer to the question, her team also put down four. I was just wondering to what extent w...

Douglas Wilson

I attended a pub quiz last night and one of the questions was 'How many presenters has the TV Show Countdown had?' My team obviously put four, but what I found interesting was that on the way out I overheard; and subsquently joined in with a conversation another team were having. They were not dispu...

Douglas Wilson

Richard Brittain was the best ever contestant bar none.

Douglas Wilson

But its still super human to solve it in the ammount of time he had.

Also it's surely a huge gamble for him as if he doesn't get it in the time then his chance has gone.

What was the rumour about numbers games?

Douglas Wilson

How is that cheating?

Douglas Wilson

But how the hell would he know the conundrum before the letters have spun around?

Douglas Wilson

I missed most of the last series, but have heard a lot about this guy and his 'trick' on the conundrum.

What is he actually supposed to have done?

Douglas Wilson

I'm not being funny but why should i be expected to contribute £10 to something that rarely works!

Douglas Wilson

Excuse my language but I have a real craving for a game (or two).

Try to log in as normal and get the error report

Logon Failed: java.io.IOException: Could not log in.

Would GLISTENS be ok for the round in which Neil got LISTENS?

Was just about to start a new thread on the same topic.

Any indication as to when it might be back up?

Hi Charlie, If i click on the link a new window opens but nothing loads, what perplexes me is that i have no problem getting on any other website including this one but I cannot even get onto the apterous site. I will try another computer later, but as this is the one I use 90% of the time I would l...

Still no good Charlie.

Hi all, I signed up for apterous about a week ago and had the problem everybody else seemed to be having of not being able to get into the programme. Now when I type I click a link from here or google or even manually type in the address into the top bar, the website doesn't load at all. Can anyone ...

Douglas Wilson

I've just signed up.

I then clicked play and it went until it got to stage 50 of 50 before saying log on failed.

Is this a problem everyone is having or am I doing something wrong?
