How come that 'no brainer' Deal or No Deal is still broadcast but Countdown has a Cheltenham holiday.
Really enjoyed yesterday.
Looking forward to seeing other rounds of past champions as this forum has prevented them from disappearing into the Channel 4 archive.

Well done, although based on the forthcoming weather forecasts, they might have to put a Countdown episode on Thursday or Friday, as the racing might be rained off.

Now we just have to wait until Monday. :roll:

Nothing much going on is there. :| :roll:

Unlike last year, it's a whole year to the day since I did my Series 60 recording. What a day that was. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-) :lol: (Just added that last one for all the brilliant jokes Tim Vine did that day.)

And on Thursday, it'll have been 7 years since I did that special show of mine :shock: :o , which also gave me the added bonus of being in the audience for that legendary Julian Fell/Chris Wills match.

Good lord, times just flies, doesn't it :?:

Just caught the end of todays DOND on more4 (or maybe it was a repeat) . Christ, that guy had some guts. Turned down 14k to go for a 50p/50k choice.

Can you explain what the rest of them symbolise, one-by-one please?

Gutsy perhaps, but dealing on £14k when your average return is £25k is silly.

The first 4 symbolise meeting Jeff, Rachel, Tim & Susie (again). (That's for all of them, but I thought I'd be barracked for doing the whole smilie lot 4 times.)

Mr. Sunglasses represents the whole experience of the day. Meeting the other 6 contestants there that day (I was actually the stand-by, so I might not have even played that day!), the whole audience atmosphere, Damian and the backroom staff. Everything really.

Strictly, there should be a :cry: , because I was pretty close to doing that on screen after THAT conundrum, but the rest of the day made up for losing the way I did.

I'm not sure that that article is written in English but yes it's clearly obvious that you wouldn't risk a million pounds for two million, even if the odds were in your favour (unless they were massively so) because it's clearly more bad to lose the first million than it is good to gain the second million.
