Congrats Oliver! I was in the studio for the final but I'm going to watch it on 4od anyway. A very worthy champion

One does wonder why Dictionary Corner can't just write words down rather than whisper to each other. Maybe your typical celebrity doesn't read or write so well. When Susie does that, you get your "SEABED" moments and it's no less embarrassing. I always wondered why one of Victoria Mather'...

Did the conundrum really beat everyone in the audience?

Chris Davies

What, no link?

Chris Davies

I played the duel early this morning, but only had time for a few rounds. I exited the game and came back this evening, expecting the game to pick up where I left off, but it started from the beginning again. (Even with this cheating advantage, I still only managed a pitiful score!) Same thing happ...

Chris Davies

Thanks very much

Chris Davies

I completely made up this word.

Chris Davies

I've solved 4 of the puzzles now and I can see myself becoming completely addicted. Thanks Charlie

After winning the final of series 61, when I lifted the trophy, I was unaware that the lid was loose on top of it, and it flew off. The audience and the whole crew dissolved into hysterics. I was mortified, but it was really funny - definitely funny enough for an out-takes show.

Chris Davies

IDIGBO was there in round 8.

Chris Davies

I've seen Law #1 (Godwin's) in play so often - I didn't realise there was a name for this phenomenon though. It gets really tiresome, seeing the same hyperbole used time after time, especially on MSN news comments sections (where Law #10 is also frequently in play).
Great article.

Ah, fair enough. Sorry

This conundrum is possibly even harder:

PAINFUL was there in round 11.

I'll be there on the 28th.

This is my favourite pencil.

An item suggestion - how about a 'sleepsuit', awarded for stealing a game in the last two rounds, like I did here

Chris Davies

I was thinking the same thing not too long ago. If I remember correctly, there was a secret thread for the finals of series 60 which was later made accessible to everyone.

Chris Davies

HOSPODAR also in round 3.
ILVAITE in round 4 as a beater.
ATOMIST, round 12.

And yes, it would be nice to see another octochamp.

SALEROOM in round 13.

(25+3)*4*7+3 = 787,

The link to Wikipedia on the Lexplorer page is wrong.

ATTACCA was there in round 8.

Well, I was 20 when I filmed my first game, and turned 21 before my second game.

Bob and I aren't likely to play our games until Saturday 20th.

Nice one. I did this well after the time.

I beat the 'max' in a Hyper 15.

Beat the arithmetician in the first numbers round, but missed the max in one letters round.

I got an ambulance for round 6 - could it have something to do with the fact that there was a numbers round in between the two nines?

I bloody love Paul Zenon.

(25*7+9)*4+7*5, round 10.

Wasn't CARINATE also there in round 13, or does it have to be CARINATED?

CARINATE is fine.

Chris Davies

KIAATS.

Both Kirk and I are 2009 champions of Countdown. The media only refers to me as THE 2009 champion because they don't know any better.

I can't quite believe I'm starting a thread about Big Brother, as I make a point of never watching such voyeuristic rubbish, but no-one else seems to have posted this yet (according to my search). However, in an unprecedented rush of good taste, C4 has the housemates playing a game of Countdown on ...

I've added Chris Davies in. He's joint 4th along with Conor Travers with 1219 points. Although not a xicount, Andrew Hulme ended on 1197 points.

But I'm still not on this page, and neither are Brian, Ryan or Steve from series 61.

During the 70’s, my personal favourite group was Be Bop Deluxe, featuring superb lead guitar work from Bill Nelson. I saw them 27 times in total. I love Be Bop Deluxe. I've had their live CD 'Live in the Air Age' for just over a year and I can't get enough of it. I haven't been to any live concerts...

I didn't talk to the Mirror, only the Liverpool Echo, and other papers seem to have picked up on it.

Fantastic final (the only episode I've seen for months due to being at university) - out of interest, did you have SHOALED, Andrew? Not that it ultimately would've changed anything. To add to the "oh-so-nearly"s of round 13: only one letter away from HEADLOUSE. Which is actually two words...

Thanks everyone! I am thrilled to be the series champion :D I enjoyed every minute I was on the show. The whole team and the production staff were great, and I would recommend that anyone who feels like applying for the show just go ahead and do it! I would do it all over again anytime. I've had so ...

Cheers everyone, I absolutely couldn't have gone out in a better way. The tension throughout this whole game was unreal, I was an absolute nervous wreck towards the end, so can barely imagine what it must have be like for Chris! But he overcame it to nail two very tough rounds at the crucial moment...
