Just passed the telephone audition - got 2 out of 3 conundrums, got both the numbers, and out of 6 letters games I got a 9 and two 8's!
Filming on the 17th June, the last contestant before the long break - so if I win I will be back in September.

Somebody on the forum, may have been Jon Corby but can't be certain, said that there would definitely be a break as there had been last year. But I've not seen any details.

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here
Last show before the summer break is on 24th July and returns after the summer break on 24th August.
Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here
I'm sure there are good reasons for taking a break (of course everyone will be tired!), but it's a shame that it takes a break at one of the only times when I can watch Countdown Going to school means that I can't even catch Countdown on 4+1.

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here
In an ideal world, I'd either have enough time or motivation to watch it on 4OD, but also there's something exciting about watching it on the TV at its scheduled time!
Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates
I opened a letter today telling me that i was invited to attend an audition in Birmingham on the 30th July. Im pretty sure it was a response for the application i made in January. Im not sure what to do for two reasons:
1- Most the stuff on my application form makes me sound like an arse hole
2- I made the application just because i wanted to be on tv, but now i've found apterous i've got a desire to do well on the show which i didn't have before.
So 2 questions really (If anyone can help):
-If i passed, what would be the longest i could have to get better before the people in charge telling me i had to go on because my audition was ages ago.
-Do you think I'd be allowed to update my application form to make myself sound less arseholeish?

Jack, well if you pass, you'll be sent a questionnaire of questions about your favourite things, etc, mainly for updating reasons. So, you shouldn't have to worry about being "arseholeish".JackHurst wrote:I opened a letter today telling me that i was invited to attend an audition in Birmingham on the 30th July.

As for your first point, I'm probably not the best person to ask for that, since I did my recording around 3 and a half weeks after passing my audition the second time round!

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates
If you're not ready to go on TV yet, you'd be better to call them and say you'd like a bit more time to prepare. They'll totally understand and that's much better than accepting the audition and backing out later.JackHurst wrote:I opened a letter today telling me that i was invited to attend an audition in Birmingham on the 30th July.

Thanks for the advice, I think thats what I will do. I don't think I am mature enough to appear on tv without behaving extremely irregularly and disturbingly yet. Plus I think if i keep practising on apterous ill get better bit by bit, so its all good.Charlie Reams wrote:

It all depends on how well you want to do. If you are happy with a good experience and almost definitely get a teapot (I'm sure you would), then go for it now.

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates
No no, not at all - he's a very good player and I think he could become an octochamp if he applied now. But to win a series, he would have to be on a level with the likes of you/Hulme/Carson which I don't think he is quite yet (although no doubt he could with a bit more practice, hence me saying wait a while if you want to win a series).Kirk Bevins wrote:Is this a subtle way of calling him shit, Darren?Darren Carter wrote: If you want to be a series winner, wait a while.

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates
Well that depends on whether anyone with the abilities of Hulme and Carson will be applying for series 62. Series 62 will probably feature Eoin, Laddiman v2.0, Michael Davidson, Dale Levell, brilliant non-Apterites and Hamishes etc, all fantastic but are they Hulme/Carson/Kirk level yet? I think lots of applicants will have a good chance next series.Darren Carter wrote:to win a series, he would have to be on a level with the likes of you/Hulme/Carson which I don't think he is quite yet

Good point well made (I didn't think Charlie's point was well made as I didn't understand it). Clearly just because you don't win a series doesn't mean you're shit so I retract my original statement.

No idea if he's actually recording or whether mine and Oliver's fellow auditionee Ian is having a bit of fun with me. The first recording back is Monday 7th September, where you'll be able to marvel at my unexplainable bouts of shitness.
