Two new contestants today after George Ford became an octochamp. Who'll win, and do they know 4 large?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

And congratulations to Sam, as well as belated congratulations to Jon, both for getting wins. Not sure either will make the final, but both definitely had to earn their prize and they did.

Jordan F

Well, I was going to do it since I'm back, but yours is probably better than mine anyway.

Jordan F

I am on vacation from today until late Thursday, so the three spoilers I normally do are up for grabs. Anyone want them? Just take 'em.

Jordan F

George "Pryn" Ford put in a solid effort yesterday, and ends the week as champion. Can he remain champion to wrap things up?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Re: George's Point, It's tough because it was early enough where you could've picked 4L instead of 1L to sway the score in your favor, but at the same time we never know if you both would've gotten the 4L or not. Not an easy call to make in a case like this on whether Jonny should be brought back. M...

Jordan F

Brutal way for Jonny to lose. I can't complain about George winning as he did have excellent spots, but assuming both would've gotten final number, it was the difference. Very unlucky to Jonny, I feel like I should look more into HEADWAYS to get a sense of it's sense as a mass noun or not.

Jordan F

Apterite Jonny Rye's gotten two solid wins so far. Will he get number three? Another hurdle is in his way today, in the form of apterite George Pryn. It'll keep the apterite winning streak alive regardless, let's see which one will succeed.

Jordan F

Jonny Rye won yesterday, and keeps the apterite winning streak as 9. Can he win his second, and can apterous win their 10th?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Dan McColm made octochamp status, so we have two new contestants today. One of them being apterite Jonny Rye. Who'll claim the teapot?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

This is the last Countdown of the week, and we find ourselves with Dan McColm on 6 wins. I suspect even if he were to lose today, he''d make the finals, but it can't hurt to get more wins, especially since he's on pace for a 900+ run. Will number 7 arrive?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

A shame about the last two letters rounds, MARQUISE in particular'd been tricky to spot. But overall, very impressive. INAMORATO is one of the better spots I've ever seen on the show, and to get 137 off of just one 9 is remarkable.

Jordan F

5 wins is what Dan McColm has. A sixth is what he can get today. Can he get it done?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

No. Younger guy on the team, other one who wasn't the captain.

Jordan F

I vaguely recognize Simon from another team. I didn't know people were allowed to be on different teams.

Jordan F

Dan McColm is halfway there, 4 wins, 3 of them centuries, can he get a 5th?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Dan McColm is on two wins as we end the week. Can he get a 3rd to finish strongly?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Dan McColm made a strong first impression on his return yesterday, winning with a 13 maxer. Now that he finally has the teapot, will he get another win?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

A new champion is amongst us in Gary Mehaffy, will he get number 2 today? It could be quite a challenge however, as apterite Dan McColm is in the studio today. You may think to yourself "Have I heard that name before?" Yes you have. 3 years ago, back in series 64, Mr. McColm played and los...

Jordan F

Vicki Landriau had a pretty impressive debut yesterday, getting the highest score from a woman since Ann Robinson 6 months ago. Can she get another win today?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Ellen Baker won on a crucial conundrum yesterday. Can she win again, on a crucial or normally, to end this week on win number 2?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

We have a new champion in Paul Talmey. Can he stay champion?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

4 wins for Michael McDowell now, he'll likely need at least one more, possibly two, to be in contention for the finals. Can he do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Michael McDowell got win number 3 yesterday, can he get a 4th now?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

In the last prelim of the week, we have a new champion in Michael McDowell. Can he get win number 2 to wrap it all up?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Paul Worsley is on 6 wins. That alone will give him a decent chance of making the finals in December, but a 7th will help even further. Can he get it?

Join James..Laverty that is for the recap later.

Jordan F

5 wins is what Paul Worsley has so far. Can he get number 6 today?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

The last full week in September is here. And with that, comes the continued success of Paul Worsley. He is on 4 wins so far, and needs 4 more to reach octochamp status. Let's see if he can get number 5 first.

So, this February, I am directing a mounting of Mike Bartlett's play Cock . For those who don't know (though it did debut in England first so you may), it's about a man who has identified as gay all of his life and been in a long term gay relationship, but then falls out and meets the girl of his dr...

Jordan F

There's Catsdown today. Sean Lock teams up with Jo Brand, and Jon Richardson is playing with Vic Reeves. Adam Buxton is in the corner, and once again Joe Wilkinson is out according to Wiki, so Rob Beckett will help Rachel. (I initially said contrary but a wiki note proved me wrong) I'll recap later....

Jordan F

Paul Worsley got a 3rd win yesterday, can he wrap up the week with win number 4?

Countdown recap for Thursday 18 September 2014. Welcome to another recap made in the United States. Hope you enjoy this international flare to the recap today. Nick starts off today's show by talking about the big vote in Scotland today for independence. I don't know a whole lot to pros and cons abo...

Jordan F

Paul Worsley is up to 2 wins, both by comebacks against strong opponents. Will he get a 3rd today, and can he get a clear lead early this time?

Join me for the recap later.

Jordan F

Paul Worsley got a win against a tough opponent yesterday, is a second win coming?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Farhan Ahmed put in his strongest performance thus far to get win number 3. Can he make it 4? Another tough test is upon him though, as apterite Paul Worsley is going to have a chance at the teapot. Does the name ring a bell? It should, for Paul is the father of series 66 champion Jack Worsley, look...

Jordan F

James is off on vacation, so I'm gonna do all the spoilers. When we last left off, Farhan Ahmed got 2 wins. With tough competition looming, he'll need every win he can get before then. Let's see if he can get number 3 today. Comedienne Jenny Eclair will be in the corner for the first four days this ...

Jordan F

Sounds good to me James. I'll give at least 24 hours notice if I end up being unable.

Jordan F

More comedic fun comes our way today. Joining Sean Lock today will be David Baddiel, and teaming with Jon Richardson is Trevor Noah. Joey Essex is the corner guest today. I would like to point out that he is younger than me, and he is one of the first corner guests I know of who is younger than me. ...

Jordan F

For me it's going to very largely depend on if I have a working feed. If I do, I can do maybe both of the other days.

Jordan F

Another apterite won yesterday in Farhan Ahmed. Will he reach a second win?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Jamie Ilett-Jones got a very convincing win yesterday. Can he get another one? Another apterite stands in his way today, Farhan Ahmed. Could be a very great match.

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Very impressive debut from Jamie, the joint highest debut of a true newbie. This is going to be a fun week, I can guarantee it, and especially with the inclusion of Jamie in the mix, is going to be some very high standard stuff.

Jordan F

ROSARIES as a beater after the time.

Jordan F

Someone put this in the You're The Ref thread.

I think since Szelong didn't get the conundrum right, you can't make too much of an argument regardless.

Jordan F

We're back with more comedians, fun moments, smurfs, Joe Wilkinson's jobs, etc. According to Wikipedia, Roisin Conaty will join Sean Lock, and David Mitchell will join Jon Richardson. Phil Jupitus will be in the corner, and Joe Wilkinson will have a beard. I also wonder if Mark Murray's picture will...

Jordan F

We wrap up the week with a new champion, Szelong Ng. Can he get a second win? Hey may need it, because we have a tough stretch of competition coming up very soon.

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

I don't want to assume David will make finals. Definitely a good chance, but I don't want to assume as it appears Nick has. Nevertheless, interesting way for the run to end, as I think a lot of us thought it could've happened sooner. Not that David was the worst player ever, he did get some good spo...

Jordan F

Another possible coronation day is upon us. David Stanford has a chance today of becoming the 3rd octochamp of series 71, which already would tie us with the number from series 70. Interestingly enough, he has the chance to go for a certain record of...distinction. If he scores 57 points or less and...

Jordan F

David Stanford keeps on winning, despite having under 500 points through 6 wins. Perhaps he will eventually reach a certain notorious record. Nevertheless, it is 6 wins, and if he gets a 7th, he'll have a decent chance of making the finals. Can he do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

David Stanford has 5 wins, a third in a series of successful runs. Is number 6 on the horizon?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

David Stanford ends this week on 3 wins as of today. Is a 4th on the horizon? If he gets it that'll put him at least at the number 4 seed as of now.

Join Anthony for the recap later.

This starts in a few days. Any apterites or anyone we know on this series? I did see something on Facebook of note. For the first time ever we have a returning team competing proper (not in a champions special). The History Boys, who first competed in season 2, are back. Interesting that this is hap...

Jordan F

David Stanford is up to two wins, and is on a quest for a third, which that alone would put him at number 5 on the board. Today could David's toughest test though, as apterite Callum Pickering is going to try to take his shot at a teapot. Remember how the last apterite named Callum did, so it'll be ...

Jordan F

Another new champion is here today in David Stanford. Can he get a second win, or will it begin to look like one of those weeks of the revolving door?

James will recap us later.

Jordan F

Russ Thornton is our newest Countdown champ. Will he get a second win?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

This is our last Countdown of the week, but it'll be a good one. Mark Davies is on the verge of becoming the second octochamp of the series. He could also potentially take the number 1 seed from Tricia Pay, with a score of 112 or more. If he doesn't or loses, he'll still be the number 2 seed as of n...
