What did Rachel mean by "this one is almost playing itself" after HERATC came out in Round 2? I don't see an obvious word that's an extension of that.

She meant HERETIC I think.

Nice to have no adverts today. There was always the worry that the Queen's death would ruin television but it made Countdown better!

Adverts are the main reason I barely watch countdown except when people I know are on. I should have watched today! All 4 is very resistant to adblock

There's no adverts on All 4 at the moment either I think. Now's the time to binge watch all C4 shows.

DOTAKUS in R7
R3 Alt.: (50-7)*(8+6) = 602
R6 LNAFP: (7*3+4*2)*7 = 203

Interesting that their opening chat revolved around SUDOKU, then it almost comes out in Rd7.
Two annoying things from today's show...
1. Rachel going over the top with her "you should gamble" bullshit. Rein it in!
2. Colin wondering who he "trusts" most when deciding which word to hear first. Actions speak louder than words... you can smile and joke and show enthusiasm all you like, but doing that 'strict arbiter' bullshit will be the reason you'll never even make it as 4th best CD host of all time. Bad habit. Just let the contestants declare following a strict pattern without prejudice. He says he wants the numbers and letters to be the star of the show, but at present he is putting himself front and centre as much as Anne did.

Surely he is at least 4th best by default given that both Des Lynam and Des O'Connor were rubbish hosts and Anne Robinson wasn't much better?
For me, Jeff and Richard are equal at the top. Nick is third. Colin is next but with some improvements in the areas you describe could overtake Nick.

Possibly, but if you've got 7, 8 and 9 you know what you have to do.
7*8*9 + 6*8 + 50 is the standard method, surely.
