So, back from the weekend we come back into the main game, and with the finals being recorded in Salford this very week (yes, I realise it's only the just turned into Spring, but I'm not the organiser...... ), it's time to start thinking who might be in with a chance of being the champion of Series 72.

The top 3 on the leaderboard (Tracey, Andy and Kevin) have got their places confirmed, and our current champion, the returning Tom Cappleman, will hope to seal his place on there too, but he still needs 6 more wins before that happens, but with 232 points under his belt already, you've got to think that his chances are pretty good.

Nicky Campbell continues in DC up until Thursday, before Chris Packham takes over on Friday.

Join Andy for the recap later.

I was just reading that and then had a look at the Wiki page, and I was wondering, where do you get all the information about the broadcast dates until the end of the series and also the DC guests? Is it just from attending the filming of games that haven't been on yet?

One way is to get on the email list for audience tickets then they send you filming dates and who the guest will be.

Luckily I have seen this show before as Firefox decided to delete its runtime when I loaded it to watch online.

Before the today's show Nicky and Dudley treated the audience to a rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" - I think today's
challenger wishes he was on the moon instead of facing Tom...

Connor should have asked for a TIMEOUT in round 10

As long as he didn't think of himself as a TITMOUSE!

It was nice to see Rachel in what I call her "Go Board" dress.

Oh and Tracey Mills, sitting next to me, was pleased to beat Tom in at least one round, for instance METRICAL in R7
(when I was hoping for a MIRACLE).

I thought Connor had a genuine chance of beating Christine Buffrey's record at one point

I beat Tom in round 1 with TRIBUNAL

If anyone has a video of this I would love to hear it.

Using a mix of the C4Countdown Twitter page, the C4 website's page which shows when all the horse racing is on.

The record's already been beaten.

The record's already been beaten.

Not in a 15, surely?

Earlier this series by Wendy Cooke, although her performance didn't really deserve that low a score.

Yeah, in Tracey's last game, her opponent, Wendy Cooke, scored just 6.....

ABLUTION/TURBINAL in round 1, NUTCASE in round 5, BEWAILS in round 8 and FATHOM/FUGATO in round 12.

2nd Numbers Alt.: (75 x 3) - (7 x 6) - 1 = 172

Yep, just realised my mistake
