From the first page of Google Images search result for "susie dent dictionary corner":

Image

Most odd. No description or tags on the Flickr page either. Just thought I'd share that.

So, that's Susie Dent, Des Lynam and somebody else, isn't it?

Is it Ken Bruce?

I didn't even see my episode when Des O'Connor read my e-mail on the air, and Kate says that nobody on the production team is allowed to upload anything on the Internet. Can someone help me?

What strange image did your e-mail invoke then?

I ask because the episode of Countdown that I had my e-mail read on was Lee Simmonds' first appearance and featured Ken Bruce as the Dictionary Corner guest.

In fact, I think I'll do myself a favor and get this off of my chest.

Ian, Thomas did respond to my e-mail and unfortunately, he does not have the episode in which Des O'Connor read my e-mail on the air. He said he would ask Jeff if he has the episode very soon.

Thomas Wood and Jeff Wharton are the people who maintain the channel on Youtube called countdowngoofs.

I will be contacting Jeff shortly. It's a real shame you can't find it anywhere though. I don't know if you have seen the following topic about old shows been uploaded to the channel 4 site, viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2316. So if it's UK only i'll get the clip from there for you.

It doesn't necessarily say that Countdown will be uploaded, but fingers crossed :|

This thread is a bit random so I thought I'd just say:

Did anybody see The Big Bang Theory yesterday? Some guy told Sheldon about some comic and he said "omg spoiler alert". It reminded me of the forum so much. It was, like, you know, well funny.

Yes, and I had the same idea too!

American humour (what little I see of it, anyway) seems to be getting drier.

So, you must have been talking about the American version, Jimmy!
