So, like yesterday's Premier League finale, we're heading into the latter stages of this season's Countdown series, and while I can't promise drama and suspense of the same magnitude, we could still be in for a brilliant finish.

After a close-run game on Friday, Craig Lingard kept his cool long enough to hang on for his 2nd win of his run so far. But like Manchester City, can he complete a late hat-trick today, or will it be an early bath for him

Making her debut in DC this week, is the broadcaster, journalist and former editor of the Independent newspaper, Janet Street-Porter.

Join Jack for the recap later on.

Not a bad start to the week. Janet and Nick seem to be getting on like a house on fire already.

WAREHOU as a nice 7 in round 1, RESEALS in round 6, VIRELAYS in round 11.

Though JSP has never been at the top of my list of favourite TV people, she could go close to the top of my list of favourite Countdown guests.
