Also the way Chris instantly spotted the conundrum in the semi but waited 28secs to build the tension was very impressive

PRAETORS/PRORATES (SEPARATOR, PERORATES, PRIORATES, OPERATORS, PTEROSAUR) if you choose 4 vowels. Otherwise probably just the 7 letter words here . There is another 8-letter word (aside from PRAETORS) that is never a maximum if you choose 4 vowels, can anyone else find it? EDIT: Sorry Kieran, since...

Andrew Hulme

And also the way all 3 of Chris' victims handled their defeat was really admirable and I'm sure will make for good TV. Particularly Innis IMO. Innis's reaction to his defeat was my favourite moment. It showed his true characater and I cant give him enough credit for that. A thoroughly nice bloke an...

Is anyone having trouble organising a time for their game or is there going to be a late rush? Yeah I've messaged you about this Yes, I'm having trouble getting in touch with Jay Murphy.

Cool. Do you ever think you'll ever try turning pro?

Well, to be honest, I basically am now. Only said semi cos I go to uni at the same time.

Does that sound silly to anyone else? Of course your going to do better at home.. you've already seen the entire program.

Someone called Reuben Kay was saying they want to play. Is this an entry or not? Yep, he didn't want to use the forum. Not sure why I helped him - he's a fool to himself really, but it seemed a shame to see him panic :) Is there any way I can get in contact with him about ourgame other than jus hop...

Was it me, or did Chris give tomorrows contestant a look which kinda said. "Yeah well done, I'm really shitting myself..."

Chris has FLEES. Eugh.

True that. Think I must have some sort of innate sense of wanting the underdog to win. Definitely the only reason I wouldn't want Chris to win...

Seriously though. Retrospective Good luck! Even though I already know what happens!

In pursuit of Chris Davies' Touchdown Letters Attack record, things weren't looking good after the first half. Even 6 nines in the second half only netted me the 2nd highest score ever. Still, I'm reasonably happy with that. http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=99147 Now ur in pursuit of my TD let...

Andrew Hulme

I must admit I had no idea what was going on until just now, because I haven't watched an episode of Countdown for months and was just browsing the Countdown wiki and saw you got 930. Amazing stuff, very well done. It's wonderful to see Kirk's record broken. Though I'm also inclined to agree with C...

Hmm, don't really think I can resist posting this. A little bit more Hulme theft from Bevins!

I watched todays game from the audience and it's definitely worth catching. Watch one for one pretty Hansfordesque character.

Andrew Hulme

not been to anything like this before. but i might be interested.

Andrew Hulme

Thanks everyone for your comments! I obviously really enjoyed filming todays episode. Had had a whole night to think about the possibility of breaking the record, but knew it would be pretty unlikely. In my head I thought I needed a 9, and to score in every other round. When no I appeared for MORALI...

Andrew Hulme

Argh! More niceish letters for Andrew means two more nines ( I never had this many [gettable] nines and I'm sure Craig Beevers is jealous too) and another century despite being beaten on a round again. 118 means his 7 game total is now 802. I'm getting nervous. I was sat on 811 at this point and ne...

Probably the only 45 minutes of the whole experience that I didn't really enjoy. Had BRACONID written down, but wasn't sure if I'd just made it up after apheous yesterday. Also had SOAKER, but didn't know if it was in. Just spotted GATEFOLD in rd13 or whatever it was, when watching it back. Guess it...

Please no one post the answer to that. lol

I will probably be around as a reserve type figure if you want one. Don't want to commit as I'm cricketing and there's a chance >0 that I wont be home in time.

Andrew Hulme

Lol, not really a massive spoiler I guess. Anyone who's that offended by knowing that 6 small numbers are picked at some point is pretty pernickity (sp?); besides I might just have been lying. Also wanted to add that I was dead happy with EXTRINSIC, as it was a "pure" spot, i.e. nothing to...

It's not often I beat so many top players, so I'm just posting to say that I was shouting 'Consonant, Pick a Consonant, be a C, a C!!!' before the last letter came up. And he did, it was, and I had a nine. Quality spot Andrew. :D You're slipping on the conundrums though, there was time for a light ...

Andrew Hulme

Hmm. Gordon was a very nice bloke, just didn't really turn up on the day with a tricky-ish set of letters. Watching this back today, I missed no end of stuff. A win's a win tho.

I love the fact that that 'hit' is the verb assigned to achieving a certain score!

Was great tho wasn't it?

Is 6 9's a new record?

I agree with everything Kirk said. Not sure it means the answer to the question is no though. Just because me, Kirk, or a few hundred other apterites like the show better because the standard is higher doesn't mean it hasn't killed the show. We're not exactly a random sample of the shows audience ar...
