Is there some way we can still access the first podcast?

I wouldn't mind seeing Gyles Brandreth host.

That's probably your best post yet

Perhaps a more useful subforum to have would be "Hypothetical international versions of Countdown and its potential hosts".

Oh Charlie, how you wound me by interpreting a joke as pedantry!

yea, but you don't speak English.

Charlie, your last post on that locked thread made me piss :) Hahaha same here! Thanks David couldnt have put it any more articulate than that. Evidently! lol... But back to the topic - I agree with David. To continually take the piss when someone's not getting the joke for legitimate reasons (stup...

They made me dance at my Weakest Link audition, the buggers. (I passed it, btw, but they then told me 3 months later it'd been too long since I'd applied so I had to start all over again. I very politely them to piss off.) Did you apply under the pseudonym Michael Flatley? Or perhaps attend the So ...

You should have lied and told her you beat the all-time high score record! Because really, a girl that gets off with you at a party because you're a gameshow winner probably won't put any effort into doing the research.

Sarcastic humour's great if it's done well, but Drew Carey is crap at it.

And I used to watch The Price is Right in the UK out of desperation during holidays (Bruce Forsythe has a funny face and some lethal puns), but no amount of desperation could entice me to watch the US version.

Kirk's page has been updated with some brilliant new quotes haha...I also had a good laugh at this one about Des O'Connor:

I'm glad Susie's back. While both are fine as lexicographers, Alison seems to enjoy saying "very good" (with vigorous nodding) and giving definitions for 5 or 6-letter words, which I find a bit patronising as the words are never obscure and there are 7s and 8s available.

This quote is just begging for a picture to be uploaded so it can be used as a caption:
"am i the only one not to know the definition of phallus here?"
Perhaps Kirk with a huge phallic silhouette in the background? Or dancing it up at a gay club?

I think most of the panelists from QI/Mock the Week would make great guests for DC. I'd love to see Frankie Boyle on, but somehow I don't think his type of humour would resonate too well with the typical Countdown viewer...

It would be quite a tragedy at his age...

I quite enjoyed the caption to Julian Fell's picture as well...

Hello! I used to watch Countdown religiously as a child but was forced to abandon those letters and numbers after moving away from the UK. Through the magic of the internet, I've recently become reacquainted with this brilliant show after a painfully long (10+ years) separation. Someone on YouTube h...
