Countdowners On Other Quizzes

[Gavin Chipper]

Tom Stevenson was referenced in a question on The Chase. Not strictly "on other quizzes", more "as other quizzes".

What was the question?

In 2022, university student Tom Stevenson scored a record 154 points on what TV show, not losing a single round?

A Mastermind
B Countdown
C University Challenge

Thanks. No idea.

Did they get it right?

Did they get it right?

Yes

I liked that the other two could be ruled out. One being impossible (not ending in 5 or 0) and the other simply not having the time to amass the points.

Kirk was on Eggheads today. Not sure if a repeat, but the value was a lot higher than Lauren/Aidan's show last week so I presume it was.

It seems a bit of a weird question. Like they conflated Colin's obsession with him not losing a round over his 8 games with his single game record score. I mean, he obviously didn't lose a round in that game but it's hardly a surprise and not something you'd normally bring up.

Yeh - I think if you somehow managed 154 without scoring every round that would be somewhat amazing

Zarte got 150 despite that prick taking a round off him!

Yep, a repeat.

Haven't seen it yet - but I'm rooting for my mate Jack (who also knows Sam C-L so is pretty well connected to countdown!)

Tom Stevenson (Series 86 Champion) will be on Pointless on 21st August 2024 @ 5:15 pm on BBC One/iPlayer. He’ll have up to 3 chances (used to be 2 but now it’s 3) to make the final, so could potentially be on 22nd and 23rd as well if eliminated.

Certainly not my finest display of quizzing, there- in fact, I've been cringing about it since it was filmed (last September). Was dead set on going for either Nicola Adams or James Arthur, but could only think of obvious answers bar that. The amount of time you get to think of an answer is practically the same at home, as it is in studio, so not overly easy when trying to come up with something, and talking to Alexander at the same time. Always tomorrow...

With Lingo finally resuming Series 3 after an 18-month break(!), 3rd September @ 3 pm will feature Countdown, Scrabble, Crossword and all-round gameshow contestant, David Webb! This episode was recorded 2 years ago.

I assume the money he got through scamming people has finally dried up and he needed some more.

Had no idea of this!

Would be a great daily daytime show with a "winner stays on" format and different celebrities each week.

Might just be enough to pay everyone back!

Maybe. Apparently Lingo will allow winners to stay on for up to three shows from Series 4 (recorded but yet to air). I would like to see more shows do this.
