Well, hopefully the majority of us enjoyed the fantastic Royal Wedding ceremony this morning, and we can now enjoy the main event on Channel 4 this afternoon.

Roger Edwards is the new champ after deposing a very lacklustre Scott yesterday. Can he make a better impression today

Join Mike for an earlier recap today. (Well, it's an bank holiday after all )

REGULOS as an equaller in round 3.

1st Numbers Alt.: (((9 x 6) - (7 - 5)) x 7) - 1 = 363

((9*5) +7) is a quicker way to make the 52. There are many other possible solutions too.

R6 SOLVATED (didn't see it at the recording)

R8 TANKER wasn't the original *ANKER word that Matthew offered!

Interesting that they allowed PISSED earlier in the week (albeit bleeped out), but not WANKER. Strange........

R12 OROTUND as a DC-beater?

At least Roger has two weeks now to get over his nerves and be back in the studio after lunch on
Wednesday 13th April, for the first of two days of filming on odd days because of Jeff's football
commitments. Hoping for something better from him when we watch on Monday.

I didn't watch this live, but the handsome young man (of a not too dissimilar age to Jeff?) getting the conundrum in the audience was Richard Everley of apterous and CoLei4 fame.

Yup, surprising that DC got ROTUND, but not OROTUND.

MEDUSAS in round 13.

Hoping for more enthralling commentary from yourself on Monday as well.

Sorry James, didn't quite make it. Am dram getting in the way again...

I hope you didn't use a solvator for that.

There were two?

Anyway, I was in a pub that had it on, and people were taking photographs of the television coverage! I'm not sure I've seen anything more mental. There were two of them and they kept getting up and taking photos. I decided to take photos of them while they were taking photos. They didn't see me, although I did nothing to hide what I was doing and would have been quite happy for them to notice.

Did anyone take photos of you taking photos of them taking photos of the TV?

Unfortunately not (that I noticed). I suppose I could have persuaded one of the people I was with to do so. There was a discussion afterwards about how it would have been funny if there had been some long chain.
