So, we're into Week 15 of this series, and we're on April 23, or RASPILLED day, as it seems to be now known.

After an interesting variety of results last week, we got ourselves a new champion in Monica Sutcliffe, who we assume is not the same one as the Monica Sutcliffe who competed in Series 14, who also happens to be a retired teacher.

Will she possibly join Jack, Peter & Victoria in the finals at the end of June. Using knowledge from my internal sources, I can now say that the final will be on June 29.

Back in DC for his 2nd stint of the series, is magician extraordinaire, Paul Zenon.

Join Graeme for the recap later.

WOW, Monica, 85 years old!!!!!!!!! Definitely one of the oldest winners of an edition of the show

Not only 1 R missing, but 1 E missing too...............

RIOTER in round 9 as an alternative 6.

2 Alternatives For 2nd Numbers Game:

(75 x 2) + (7 x 5) + 10 + 1 = 196
(75 + 10 + 7 + 5 + 1) x 2 = 196

ANGUISH in round 11 as an alternative 7.

An easier way of making 28 for Rachel's way is (75/5)+2+1+10 or you can do ((7+5)x10)+75+1

Alt to FLASHER etc is FLUSHER and OAKIER instead of TROIKA.
Nice to have POUNCES in two rounds.

LAMBDAS in R1.

Monica 85, eh? - good going! - really really didn't look it.

Another easy way for 2nd numbers:(10+5-1)x7x2

I rather liked (25x100+4+8)/4 for the third numbers.

James, it is the same Monica, she was on a long time ago but wanted to have another go.

Oh, thanks Kerry. Thought it was just too coincidental.
