Not got 836, but 835 was 9*9*(7 + 2 + 1) + 25.

Nice surprise to see Ciaran's cheeky little face in the audience.

The two dictionaries vary immesely; you're perfectly welcome to try your luck @ Scrabble tournaments
ie in the CONSUMES round had you had it's anagram MUSCONES^ instead, (what I found) it would have been disallowed

Nick Hewer basically said to the champion at the start: "You were a bit shit yesterday but got lucky when the previous champion fucked up." I thought it was a bit rude.

Totally agree. I was that f**k up and I was in the audience for this one - it was a little embarrassing really.Gavin Chipper wrote:Nick Hewer basically said to the champion at the start: "You were a bit shit yesterday but got lucky when the previous champion fucked up." I thought it was a bit rude.
2nd numbers alt: (75 - (50 / 25)) * 5 + 1 = 366

I just remembered something else about this one. When both contestants declare SCONE and there's a little humour around the pronunciation, Nick doesn't ask Len to show his paper to Steve even though it's the same word. Or at least I don't remember him asking for this. Harks back to the "You're The Ref" thread elsewhere with MINUTE (time) vs. MINUTE (tiny).
