Wednesday 25th August 2010 (Series 63, Prelim 33)
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 8:10 pm
Welcome one and all to the delayed Robinson Recap. The name's Robinson, James Robinson. 
And in celebration of the 80th birthday of Sir Sean Connery, this recap will have a James Bond theme.
So, I, Agent Double-O Zero, will take you through the trials and tribulations of yesterday's match which will probably leave you feeling shaken, not stirred,..... I hope. 
Countdown recap for Wednesday 25 August 2010.
C1: Champion Peter Godwin (1 win, 86 points.) From Southampton, Hampshire. He is a retired hotelier and HGV driver. He has 2 grandchildren and has adopted 5 cats, something Rachel is planning to do as well.
C2: Challenger Bruce Lambert. From Redmire, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. He's a student who has just completed his final year at Loughborough University, where he was studying retail, hence he is due to become a retail manager at Marks & Spencer shortly. Eagle-eyed viewers will recognise Bruce from his appearances on the show in the past. He won 1 show in Series 43 in 2000, then returned for the junior tournament in 2002, where he lost to Perry Fung, who would then lose the final to our very own Andrew Hulme.
DC: Susie Dent and Gary Wilmot.
RR: Rachel Riley (if only she was FOR MY EYES ONLY
- well I can dream can't I 
), who has never seen a full Bond film in her life 
OT: Other words or solutions.
