Spoilers for Tuesday 25th November 2008

[Dan Vanniasingham]

Here's what I noted down in Excel, given that nobody seems to have watched the show today going by the lack of a spoiler thread. Post your retrospective beaters here, and laugh at my rubbish notes whilst you're at it.

Hilary: Champion
Steve Elcock: Challenger: From York, a pub manager (aka landlord), lives with partner and 9 children (5 his), Everton fan - dreams of seeing them win the Prem and England win the World Cup, cue DesO to say the obvious...
DC: Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver

[jeff wharton]

Pleased with myself in round 11.I got rowdiest but brought down te earth when DC got the nine with drowsiest.
Round 13 an equaliser with Hustles.

[Peter Mabey]

Had DIMETER as an equaller in round 2.
Found the rather appropriate WORDIEST in round 11, but didn't see DROWSIEST.

[Phil Reynolds]

PALATES to equal DC in round 8.

[Kirk Bevins]

When I saw the challenger today I recognised him straight away. I thought it was because he'd been on before but it turns out he's a landlord from York. I'm now trying to think of which pub I've seen him in - I get to see loads when on the darts circuit. I have an idea and I'll keep my eye out.

I had a DC beater in round 3 with SOLATIUM. In Fell Corner, I missed a few things today including 2 numbers. I'm slipping.

[James Hurrell]

I had IMPASTO/TOPSAIL, RECITED, SPATULA, and HUSTLES as other equallers but missed SOLATIUM.
