Can Graham get to Octochampdom just 5 days before the finals?

R10: No untrailed* but a chestnut 9 in UITLANDER - South African word for a foreigner or outsider.

Unlucky Graham, but well done on claiming 4th seed.
It means for the first time in 13 years when Oliver Garner won, just 2 Octochamps for this series; it’s the third time it’s happened in over 21 years of ‘45-minute’ Countdown.

Interesting how both 7-time winners lost on the 3rd and 3rd to last heats of the series.

As Colin knew the seeds at the end of today's programme, it would be good to have a graphic with the 8 finalists' names and maybe a thumbnail pic, as would happen on sports programmes.
(Adagio in R13 too)

I've said this in the past. Would be nice if this was done as soon as there is a top 8, then brought up each time a new player enters that top 8. Would be like 15-to-1

I think Series 54 might have done mugshots for the finalists. I remember seeing the pictures on the wiki.

I have seen a seed list graphic in the past I'm pretty sure. Probably after all the prelims were finished though.
