Do we start Series 61 today, or is there a break now or what?

I'm under the impression that we do start Series 61 today.

We should do since I was at today's, tomorrow's and Wednesday's recordings, back on May 11th!

We'll have the winner of the limerick competition as well today!

Good to see Tim Vine return in DC today!

Will Jackie reach her 8th win on Thursday? Only time will tell!

Yep, according to Countdown Wiki at least.

I believe there's a break in 5 weeks time, or thereabouts.

Am I right in remembering it's Innis on the show today? If so, that will be a great battle! :)

I believe Innis is on on Thursday. I was at the recording of course, as I mentioned above!

There might be a clue in his "location"!

He hasn't just got it in for Countdown. I found some of his other comments on other shows to be equally enlightening:
Your News casters
Worst news program on TV. Your news casters act like obtuse illiterate moron's, There behaviour could be compared to dummy's, inept one's at that SACK these cretins IMMEDIATELY!!!!! Your rating system should allow a minus amount in at least 3 x figures to handle a true reflection of these idiots. -999 would suffice. Hope that this feedback help's prevent crap like this from being transmitted.
Neddie 3:48pm Fri 5 Jun
I for one think it's good that he's campaigning against illiterate moron's and dummy's. More power to him.

Haha... at times that page is like a microcosmic version of this forum!

"Why are the words 'times by' replacing the words 'multiplied by'. Apart from the correct grammar being times not times by the normal word in daily use is multiply."

"I thought Rachel was taking note, but no luck. What a shame, her poor fashion sense lets her down yet again."

I notice that Donal McIntyre will be a guest in Dictionary Corner soon. I'll bet Kate is happy because I know she likes him and knows him very well.

As Kevin pointed out I live in West Yorkshire, just 40 minutes on the train from Dewsbury to Manchester Piccadilly. Then around 15 minutes to walk to the studios and then you can enjoy the rest of the day :!: :D :D
