Have you tried channel 4? I have it recorded under the normal regime for daily Countdown! Presumably that's why there are no spoilers for these games. You mean just record it off the telly? I haven't done that sort of thing for years! I'm not sure if I'll fit a VHS tape in! There is a thing called ...
