Re: Countdown Repeats

Thanks James

I hoped they might still be a bit behind as was the case some time ago...

Was this a first?

Half way through yesterday's (Thursday 12 Aug) show I saw what I have never seen before on screen. The Countdown clock was winding on clockwise back to the top and visible behind the contestant. I guess that the audience would see this but camera choice would ensure that its not seen on the telly. A...

Re: Spoilers For Monday July 12th 2010

Hmm, watching on 4+1 now and doing the recap. In round 6 I thought I heard Mark say RUNNER but there wasn't 2 R's. Gonna check on that in a sec :| I heard same. Possibly he said RUNNEL though. Both me and Mrs C thought Runner. I thought that Shobna was a bit dull and Jeff obviously had to feed her ...

Re: Spoilers For Monday April 12th 2010

Two good and likable contestants. Shame one had to lose. Agree about Dave Spikey. I normally fast-forward DC guests (especially Pam Ayers) but had a listen and he was great. Glad to see Dave Spikey on the show. I suspect that one or two of his stories willl be taken from his live repertoire based o...

Re: Countdown in Coronation Street

About a year ago Betty said to someone in the Rovers that her son Gordon (who I don't think has ever been shown on screen) had applied to go on Countdown. Betty's son is Gordon Clegg, who was played by Bill Kenwright, who is better known as the impresario and Chairman of Everton. Bill hasn't been s...

Amy Winehouse

A report on DigitalSpy.co.uk suggests that Amy Winehouse has been approached to appear in DC.

Hopefully it's tabloid silly season - I haven't checked today's date though and it is damp enough to be April.
