Tom and Marwan would make an excellent Countdown team! Even for the last letters and numbers rounds they just swapped!

Ouch! That was a really painful ending- did feel for Marwan- I reckon he would have solved the last numbers had the pressure not got to him.... Tom got some decent enough spots today, but don't feel he is octochamp material.....

[Tom S]

For the avoidance of confusion, I am not Tom SIlverlock in case anyone was thinking that

[Brett Davids]

Tom has nerves of steel with these consecutive crucials! Unfortunate for Marwan today, who seemed a tidy player, to gandiseeg the conundrum.

Susie's definition of HENTAI was suitably censored for a daytime audience!

[Gavin Chipper]

Decent letters spots...

[Johnny Canuck]

Susie's definition of HENTAI was suitably censored for a daytime audience!

Someone needs to put a clip of her declaration that “HENTAI is brilliant” on social media.

Haha, it did cross my mind tbf but thanks for the confirmation

Decent letters spots...

What I was meaning but was too slack to change it

[Oliver Garner]

The conundrum seems familiar!

[Ronan M Higginson]

The conundrum seems familiar!

Indeed. Your lat one in your Octorun. Without that, you wouldn't have been #1 seed

[Rhys Benjamin]

Sorry to gravedig a very old thread but I do see Marwan fairly regularly through my work... he told some great stories about this episode, not least HENTAI, but he told me the other day he essentially Jimmy Gough-ed the conundrum. He also thought he started very poorly and grew into the game.
