At one point Jeff either got ANDOSOL as a 6, or dream me found ANDOSOL in the selection but for whatever reason the selection was thrown over to the audience where Nick Hewer noticed Bra off his seat with his hand up when Nick asked if anyone could do better.

Hi Terence, http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9519&p=140469&hilit=ask+graeme+consonant#p140469 is a good read if you want a rough guide, it is from 5 years ago but it's fair to assume not much has changed. No one here knows the exact distribution of the letters on the show...

Congratulations on octochampdom Toby! 882 is a great score given a relative shortage of 9s, could've easy been 900 with 1 more. 8 centuries too (I'm jealous )
I wasn't in the audience for your QF so I'm looking forward to it!
