c4countdown

I'm really looking forward to this (even though I only just found about it, seems this is the place to be for insider Countdown knowledge!), Kirk and Chris both really stood out when I saw them in the previous series, so this should be a really exciting show (even if I'm probably going to feel really stupid by the end of it ).

Don't worry, you wouldn't be the only one.

Damn, just realised I'm in Spain when the final special goes on, will have to watch on 4OD.

lost the?

Heard a rumour some more specials have been filmed recently, can anyone (James) confirm or deny?

I heard that one has been filmed and shown, Nicki v Lee and that SPOILERS:Oliver v Jack was due to be filmed, but I haven't heard anything 'bout it since March.

I'm aware of Debbi Flack v Claudia Tyson being recorded (not sure what reason that is for.....), and due to be shown on July 25, I think, but it wouldn't be a surprise that more have been done.

They should make a Michael Chadwick vs Graham Hill, the #6 seeds who couldn't make it.

They should do a few specials for mediocre players who might have won a couple of games but were unlucky enough in their first heat to come up against future finalists. Obvious pairing for the first one: me versus Joseph Bolas.

Fine. The finalists who couldn't make it.

Also found out from Debbi that 3 others were recorded, all between females who had been "unfortunate to lose", unfortunately, she couldn't remember any of the others who were there.

Any suggestions

Or quarter finalists.

Is there a Hurst v Garner special in the pipeline?

Barbara Grice is sure to be one of them.

It certainly hasn't been recorded yet, if it is........

I should think so, but if anyone has been to the recordings, it would be a big help.

The winner to play Kate Richardson?

Or perhaps - in view of the premise - loser to play Kate Richardson?

Females.



Anyway, back OT:

While we're being sexist, how about Lisa Thomson v Gayle Smith?
