Spoilers for Friday 16th June 2023 (Series 87, Heat 105)

[Ronan M Higginson]

Can Graham get to Octochampdom just 5 days before the finals?

[Philip A]

R10: No untrailed* but a chestnut 9 in UITLANDER - South African word for a foreigner or outsider.

[Philip A]

Unlucky Graham, but well done on claiming 4th seed.

It means for the first time in 13 years when Oliver Garner won, just 2 Octochamps for this series; it’s the third time it’s happened in over 21 years of ‘45-minute’ Countdown.

Interesting how both 7-time winners lost on the 3rd and 3rd to last heats of the series.

[Toby McDonald]

GANOID in R13

As Colin knew the seeds at the end of today's programme, it would be good to have a graphic with the 8 finalists' names and maybe a thumbnail pic, as would happen on sports programmes.

(Adagio in R13 too)

I've said this in the past. Would be nice if this was done as soon as there is a top 8, then brought up each time a new player enters that top 8. Would be like 15-to-1

That would be good to see.

I think Series 54 might have done mugshots for the finalists. I remember seeing the pictures on the wiki.

Yes - fantastic idea - Colin would love this too I reckon - get it done Countdown Team!

[Gavin Chipper]

I have seen a seed list graphic in the past I'm pretty sure. Probably after all the prelims were finished though.
