Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
Ben: Actually, you could be right. I don't remember the details, all I know is that they walked out, and I'm pretty sure someone poured water on his head, but I can't recall who! Okay, Wikipedia says "Anderson once had a glass of water poured over his head by a perturbed Richard Branson." Thanks for the correction

I thought that was Jeffrey Archer when Anderson asked him, "Is there no beginning to your talents?".

Looking forward to a refreshingly new guest in the corner today now that the 'mouthy bigot' has gone.

I don't know if this is permanent or just to get back to each guest doing the 5 shows from Monday to Friday.

Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
I have to agree with Brian Blessed! Cracking suggestion.
Also David Tennant, and Kate Humble. They're great ones, there.
I think I'd like to see:
Jon Richardson
Neil Hannon
James May
David O' Doherty
and if we had some form of Time Machine P.G. Wodehouse could have been amazing.

Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
A contestant on last night's Mastermind, having pondered the general knowledge question "In Greek and Roman mythology, who was the muse of dance and lyric poetry?" for a moment and clearly not having a clue, decided to play for laughs and answered brightly "Brian Blessed".

Anyway... other good guests this year. Hmm. Tim Vine would be fun. Harry Hill was another cracking suggestion earlier.

Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
Interesting that Christine accused Countdown of not moving with the times. It would have been hard to imagine ten years ago that most of the most popular TV shows in this country star 'real people' - I quite like A Place in the Sun at the moment. Big Brother was probably the first, soon followed by Pop Idol, the X-Factor, Britain's got Talent, etc.
I'm hardly suggesting that Countdown should just drag people off the streets to be guests, but it's nice to see Jerry talking about his own life experiences with a great amount of candour. I don't particularly want to hear guests tell a joke that I first heard 15 years ago; I think Countdown's getting it right with the likes of John Sergeant and Jerry Springer (and anyone else with the initials JS).

Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
As you might have read I was on the show when Tim Vine was the guest and he was absolutely fantastic, although before the second recording he managed to trip up on the little board on the floor, which I assume is where the wires are hidden. You know what I mean if you've been a contestant on the show recently.
P.S. I can't wait to see Steve Davis & Rory McGrath on the show!

Tim Vine this week..Would he be a relation of Jeremy Vine?
Martin Lewis.. They'll never shut him up..and at least we will hear him Jeremy Vine is always trying to get him to stop shouting.

Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
I'm very disappointed with most of the DC guests there's been since Jeff took over. Maybe Carole V got all the old favourites together (Except Dr. Phil) and made them sign some sort of treaty not to come back?
Looks like old Jeff's getting his way with his old sporting mates turning up more & more often as well!
DC is getting to be a very boring place indeed!

Re: Dictionary Corner Guests for the new series
This might warrant its own thread, but the audiences for Countdown are, by and large, frankly shit. They rarely respond to anything off their own backs and only applaud when instructed to do so, or laugh when they think they should following the punchline of the Dictionary Corner guest's anecdote (and even that isn't a given). Sure, any off-the-cuff "jokes", such as they are, offered by the contestants (or anyone else) aren't going to be particularly LOL funny, it's only Countdown after all, but fucking laugh at them nonetheless even if only out of politeness. You're the audience, it's your job. You haven't paid to get in, play your part. Wankers.Rosemary Roberts wrote:A lot of what he says makes me laugh out loud, but the audience doesn't seem to appreciate him very much.

I also liked David Lloyd although the audience didn't have a clue what he was on about at times. As a cricket lover he hit the spot for me.
Also agree about the G4 blokey being dull as a dustbin - One for the grannies there.
I am also looking forward to Steve Davis. It is rather difficult for anyone who remembers Steve grinding his opponents into the dust in the 80's without a flicker of emotion, to imagine him as the fun-loving joker that he has become as a snooker pundit. After today's performance on the table he should stick to DC. Shame to see such a great ex champ being trounced so badly.

To look on the bright side, he is going to be a great deal better in DC than (say) Ronnie O' Sullivan would be.

For what it's worth -
Rolf Harris would be alright.
Harry Fielder might be too much of a name-dropper (and we already have Barry Norman to do that.)
I would have to give it a miss if Michael McIntyre came on with his annoying, fake and affected voice.

*This is not the Steve Jones who used to be a TV presenter and quiz show host famous for his colourful glasses who appeared in DC before, but the Channel 4 youth presenter of a young, Welsh, good-looking, celebrity-dating persuasion.
