Charlotte may sound like Chris Packham but fans of US comedy The Big Bang Theory will tell you who she's a ringer for!

Steven M. McCann

I found CHIMPANZEE in the puzzle, am I smarter than the kid smarter than Einstein?

Steven M. McCann

Featuring a 12 year old with a higher I.Q. than Einstein!

Steven M. McCann

OUTLINER as an alternative in R1.

Steven M. McCann

ASPIRATED as an alternative to DISPARATE in R1.

Steven M. McCann

At the score standing 59-59 what are the odds on Andy facing a 6th consecutive crucial Conundrum?

Steven M. McCann

A rare treat indeed, the most feared fighter in recent years, Gennady Golovkin, defends his world title against British fighter Martin Murray in Monte Carlo. Golovkin doesn't just beat people, he quite often finishes their careers, as his victims are often never the same again after he's done with t...

Steven M. McCann

Cheers Tony, for some bizarre reason I writ down a second S instead of the M, without even looking at the screen!
I don't half feel an eejit!

Steven M. McCann

OVERDOSES in the OVERDOES round.

Steven M. McCann

I wonder will she nominate the people who complain about her short skirts?

Steven M. McCann

I think Kevin got a little lucky today, two of the words Lee had disallowed (BOWELED & SWAILS) are perfectly acceptable in SCRABBLE.
None the less, well done Kevin on becoming an Octuchamp.

Steven M. McCann

Nick (being ill) should have took a few days off, I'm sure Olly Murs would have been happy to step in, he's on bloody everything else!

Steven M. McCann

Any chance of Graeme Le Saux telling us about his "encounters" with Robbie Fowler, David Batty & David Beckham, as way of a change from his animal stories!

Steven M. McCann

As "Monkey gone to heaven" is one of my favourite songs, I spotted PIXIES in the PASTIE round.

Steven M. McCann

Graeme also missed what fans of other clubs call Rachel's team in R8.........MANURE!

Steven M. McCann

I know it's highly unlikely to ever happen, but wouldn't it be great if Susie was able to solve a numbers game Rachel failed to get!

Steven M. McCann

What a crazy game! Neil scored every round up to and including R11 & then got outscored 43-0 over the last 4 rounds!
Well done to both players on a cracking game.

Steven M. McCann

Scrabble, Words With Friends & (before anyone says it!) Touchy Words too, all allow JOISTING, but unfortunately for Michael, Susie didn't!

Steven M. McCann

RE: Andy's sweater.
A GREEN background rather than RED would improve it no end!

Steven M. McCann

I can fully understand her doing it (facing an opponent of Dan's calibre) but if Antoinette could have somehow resisted the urge to gamble (on the disallowed words VERBACE & ANDOVERS), she could easily have been facing a title deciding conundrum and then anything could have happened! Having said...

Steven M. McCann

Unless I'm missing something, being described as an "also ran" is not a term of abuse! (It usually means not in the first 3!) Anyone reading this thread, could be forgiven for thinking, Bobby Johnson is the Champion we never had! OK, he was unlucky to come up against future Champion Mark M...

Steven M. McCann

Two of Bobby Banerjees opponent's scored less than 20! It's hardly insulting or belittling,to state this fact. Would it be insulting to Brazilians to point out Germany beat them 7-1 at the World Cup? When I said I was struggling to think of any octochamp Bobby Johnson would beat, I should have made ...

Steven M. McCann

A bit harsh? Bobby Banerjee only reached the QF's because he was spoon fed some of the easiest opponents in Countdown history, to (I'm surprised he didn't come up against Joey Essex!), Bobby Johnson is a decent player, but what octochamps would he beat, I'm struggling to think of any.

Steven M. McCann

What a joke! sticking on this meaningless game between two also rans in the middle of the quarter-finals!
There will be some viewers under the impression this is a quarter-final! especially if they do what I do and have the sound off when Nick's doing his tedious waffle at the beginning of the show!

Steven M. McCann

JAWLINE in the AUNTIE round.

Steven M. McCann

Don't pretend Jon, you know full well that it's valid in Touchy Words and worth 55 points!

Steven M. McCann

MEGAPOD is an acceptable word in SCRABBLE and does appear in some dictionaries, although obviously not the one used on Countdown, which I'm now happy to accept.

Steven M. McCann

MEGAPOD not allowed? large-footed Aussie birds everywhere, will be very disappointed!

Steven M. McCann

Careful Jon, actually, it was Alistair McGowan's scalp that I was scrutinizing today, he was practically bald a few years ago and now look!
Cue the leave Alistair alone campaign!

Steven M. McCann

MEGAPOD in the MOATED/POTAGE round.

Steven M. McCann

In case anyone is wondering,I would just like to make it clear, that the PANTIHOSE/LADDERING reference was not meant to be taken literally, it was made light heatedly (like ....... in a joke!).
I'm slowly beginning to realise, humour is in very short supply on this forum.

Steven M. McCann

I was nearly not posting how fortunate I think Antoinette has been with the "letters selections" in her games up until now (a guaranteed 7, quite often a 8 and on at least half a dozen occasions a 9, available in nearly every letters round, apart from maybe 2 or 3) for fear of being accuse...

Steven M. McCann

Callum Pickering, I must say I'm looking forward to seeing how your Conqueror, David Stanford, gets on in the last 8.
1,000/1 he wins it!

Steven M. McCann

I would just like to say, Antoinette comes across as a charming lady, without the slightest hint of arrogance, despite her obvious abilities. It's just that I watched the Wednesday & Thursday episodes on a low definition Tablet. Today, I saw her on a large screen for the first time and was genui...

Steven M. McCann

Is it just me, but does Antoinette's hairstyle make her look far older, than she probably really is?
She is certainly a formidable opponent and should comfortably make the QF's (barring an upset).

Steven M. McCann

I suppose the only consolation for Tom, is that Antoinette didn't spot UNCLAMPED.

Steven M. McCann

As a curtain opener, (like footballs Community Shield), for the first show of Countdown series 72, they should have World Scrabble Champion Craig Beevors, play the series 71 Countdown Champion.

Steven M. McCann

Very amusing, Rachel (the player) must have been the only person in the studio (if not the country!) who didn't get the conundrum FORWARDED after David had tried FORWARDER!

Steven M. McCann

They are going to have a report on former Countdown champion Craig Beavers winning the World Scrabble title.

Steven M. McCann

Call me cynical, but I think Sian only queried the correct spelling of RANDOMISE/RANDOMIZE so everybody would know she had got it by herself and hadn't cribbed off Susie.

Steven M. McCann

What a bizarre game, Martyns getting pummeled on the letters, but when it comes to the numbers he's 27-0!

Steven M. McCann

MILEAGES as an alternative to MEALIEST in the 2nd Round.

Steven M. McCann

SMEARIER in the MARINERS round.

Steven M. McCann

STOPOVER in the OVERTOPS round.

Steven M. McCann

So Culpable Homicide isn't murder? I stand corrected.

Steven M. McCann

5 years, out in 10 months, they certainly make an example of murderers in South Africa!

Steven M. McCann

Judge for yourself on the Graham Norton show tonight.

Steven M. McCann

You have all obviously seen today's DOND (which was almost identical to the Alan Carr charity one) and were itching to discuss it.
Player "dealt" at £26,000.
Player had £250,000 in their box.
Player had +£10,000 in Box23.
Talk about deja vu!.

Steven M. McCann

Should be interesting.

Steven M. McCann

Here's a question they can use when they return..........
Who's the older William Shatner (Captain Kirk) or Leonard Nimoy (Mr Spock)?

Steven M. McCann

"Chatty Man" Alan Carr was playing today (Oct 12th) for charity,go on, have a wild guess what the "Independent Adjudicator" put in his box? To absolutely nobody's surprise (apart from Alan,that is, who "dealt" at £26,000) it was would you believe it, the £250,000! If he...

Steven M. McCann

Proof that Professor Alice Roberts is not averse to appearing on game shows, she's on today's (Oct 11th) episode of Pointless Celebrities.

Steven M. McCann

Apparently Tony Jacklin is hearing impaired, which would explain him not seeming to know Vicky had already said SMEARING, when he said it.
Hopefully Nick won't bring up the 1972 Open!

Steven M. McCann

For anyone who missed them first time around or maybe wants to see them again, The Kate Bush Story & Kate Bush at the BBC, are being shown again tonight on BBC 4 starting at 10-50pm.

Steven M. McCann

Tonight 12-30 am BBC4..... Top Of The Pops from 1979.
Featuring Kate looking particularly fetching in a purple split skirt!
This footage was NOT featured in the recent documentaries.

Steven M. McCann

NARKIEST in the TRANNIES round.

Steven M. McCann

Come on Ellen! we haven't had a babe in the Champions chair since Tricia!

Steven M. McCann

RADIUMS in the DISARM round.
Seconds after I checked nobody had put up PUNISHED, Peter did in the meantime!

Steven M. McCann

PUNISHED in the SHUNTED round.

Steven M. McCann

Mark, my point is, you would be more inclined to say female rather than male, as the answer to the question, If you KNEW for a fact, a group with 4 females in it, had won it. I'm not assuming everyone knows who won X Factor, but I'm assuming most of the ones who knew Little Mix had won it, would hav...
