I don't really watch the show anymore and I vowed to stay away from this forum but even I was shocked to read that Jack Hurst scored 946 in one show.

Are you sure you don't mean 146? Surely it's impossible to get so many points in countdown due to the way the points are awarded and the number of rounds?

Haha Steve from London - you are Matthew Green! Totally outed
If you haven't read any of these comments they're hilarious. Karen, since everyone in Bromsgrove knows everyone else (natch) can you please tell "Wilf" that actually, we
do like a smartarse. We don't like people who criticise when they can't do it themselves.

Hmmm...
Some hack wrote:'After Wednesday's show a producer told me I only needed 114 points in the last two shows to get the record.
Hmmm...
Some hack wrote:Jack beat research scientist Jaonathan Welti on Friday's show with words such as 'potatoes', 'petunias' and 'idolise'.
Not exactly his most exciting offerings although I imagine these were the best of Jack's words that she could spell?

Had exactly the same thought myself! Can't be too hard to track him down so consider it sorted!!

It appears that comments made on this article are being vetted prior to being shown. Shame.
I feel that it's unlikely that this comment will get an airing:
At first glance nine factual errors and one spelling mistake.
Not bad for the Daily Mail

The guy he beat in Friday's game looks like Matthew Green.
