So, it may be the bank holiday, and there might be a lot of horse racing around, but Countdown rises above it all to still bring you some numbers and letters goodness.

And with a brilliant champion in the chair, it's a good thing too

Jonathan Wynn has 5 wins to his name, and he'll be hoping to be the 2nd octochamp of the series on Wednesday, and if he averages 111.67 in the next 3 shows, he'll overtake Stephen Briggs as the #1 seed for this series. I'm sure one person who'll be happy at avoiding Jonathan is our very own Matty Artell, who is debuting on Thursday, when Jonathan will have been and gone come what may.

Greg Rusedski stays in DC until Wednesday, before Dr. Phil Hammond takes over on Thursday.

Join Andy for the recap later.

DIASPORE in round 4, ALIENOR in round 5 and ADENOMAS in round 8.

3rd Numbers Alt.: (100 x (7 + 2)) - ((5 + 1) x 4) = 876

LEGIONED in round 10 too.

A SUPERB 14-MAXER FROM JONATHAN TODAY!!

Was a thrill watching that in the audience, I can tell you.

Superb 131 score, very well done Jon, even though you were not up to your usual bullet speed on the conundrum.
