If anyone's interested in seeing it I had my semi up against Innis earlier this evening. Playing with Innis is always a pleasure even if he dominates you relentlessly throughout, although this time saw us take turns being on top. Things were going well but alas before the climax I changed position ...

Countdown recap for Tuesday 23 June 1998. It's the 4th quarter-final of series 38, pitting no.4 seed Gerry Pearce against no.5 John Ashmore. Just to confuse you by the way - Gerry Pearce is a woman. C1: Champion Gerry Pearce (6 wins, 392 points.) C2: Champion John Ashmore (4 wins, 269 points.) DC: S...

Jon O'Neill 150-140 Richard Priest

Wasn't at all surprised to lose this one.At least it was closer than I'd expected.

It should be under LADDU.

Yes it is, as a variant spelling.Damn, I was hoping to be able to claim a retrospective CoLei win over Karen Pearson then

Richard Priest 155-161 Nick Wainwright I had Nick in trouble early on, but I knew he was capable of coming back and so it proved :( In desperation I tried 4 large on my last selection, which to my surprise helped cut the deficit, but Nick shrewdly picked 1 large in the last round instead of continu...

Echoing the comments of everyone above, very enjoyable day, many thanks to Jeff, well done Jono, unlucky again Kirk.Looking forward to the next one already!

Dinos, Howard and I are going.17th-18th November, so I'm told :) Good to hear that, Rich. Who's got the tickets? From what you're saying it looks as if you haven't. And I certainly haven't; I didn't even know the dates until I ready your post just now. Let's hope Dinos has got them. :) I've receive...

Richard Priest

Any questions at this stage, anyone? What happens at these events? Do we all play with the same set of letters/numbers? Or do we have individual games? Does the hotel sell food? It varies.At some (e.g. CoNot) we all play from the same selection, at others we have individual games in tables of 3 wit...

I took an early lead but fully expected to be pegged back....and I was.It built up to a nailbiter of a finale....

A few weeks ago I was offered tickets for that day so it may well be worth phoning and seeing if there are any left.

Richard Priest

I'd put in whatever the biggest comeback is. Especially if it was something like two 9's, followed by the numbers and conundrum to win by a single point. The 2 that spring to my mind are David Trace v. Mick Keeble in the series 9 final and Richard Pay v. Claire Whitaker in series 51. Would love to ...

Happy birthday Steve

If memory serves me right Kate Horton's birthday is coming up this month too

Richard Priest

I've just watched it, and yes I spotted them! Messrs Syfris, Somerset and Priest! :D Without their hands up! Terrible. We did all get it! We all got within the first 5 seconds. That was about the millionth retake of that shot. Yes, we did all get it but they opted for that particular woman :evil: ....

Richard Priest

It should certainly make for interesting viewing if she's anything like the last woman by that name to appear on the show (series 59).

Richard Priest

Surely if the scrabbler was that good they wouldn't have put him in a position where he will face Davies in his run. Damien was on apterous regularly at the time so would know how could Chris was even if he didn't excel at the audition I think Chris told me he didn't actually have to audition. Only...

Richard Priest

I had FEINTER disallowed in yesterday's duel which I would have thought would be acceptable as it's a comparative of a 1-syllable adjective.

Richard Priest

Count me in s'il te plait Jeff, merci bien.(Might not have internet access for the next week due to being away so I'll have to post my entry in this thread).

Richard Priest

I was thinking of going out there for a holiday this year but opted for Outer Mongolia instead.Drat.

thanks for this Charlie

Richard Priest

Only just watched this, amazing game.Not often you see victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Is it possible the next female Countdown series champion could be named Corby?

Richard Priest

Would it be possible for Jack and me to have until next Tuesday? I've looked out for him on apterous this evening but not seen him and I go away on Wednesday until around next Monday, and doubt I'll have chance tomorrow to play.

Richard Priest

Definitely count me in please.And I promise I won't be late again.

Richard Priest

Well done Andrew, fantastic performance, great to watch.

Commiserations Kirk, but records are there to be broken.

Richard Priest

I was lucky enough to get tickets to see Countdown be recorded on 16th June at Manchester and it was an amazing experience. I enjoyed every minute and hope to go again soon. I won't ever be good enough to appear as a contestant but I enjoy playing along at home. Welcome, Sally.Myself, Dinos, Howard...

Richard Priest

Would love to but I'll be in London and probably without access to a pc

I saw GALLOPER but didn't think it'd be in. Likewise. I thought it might apply to horses but I don't think I'd have risked it. I met Vicky during the recordings of the series 58 finals.She was there with her parents - her dad Barry, like me, was one of the finalists.She told me she'd recently audit...

I've already pmed Andrew F about this but Andrew H didn't appear on apterous at our agreed time of 10.30 this morning so we haven't played yet.

Richard Priest

Ahh shit. DOSIEST should have been disallowed, can't believe myself, Susie and the team missed this. As for the GAMET board-shot, this was an editorial error. Not our finest hour by an means on this particular show. Majorly pissed-off. :evil: Obviously some of you must have been at your DOSIEST in ...

I've met him, yes he does have long hair.

Well done Kirk, a very worthy champion indeed. Commiserations Jimmy, but it's good that you seem to be feeling more positive about yourself than you were a few weeks ago. You certainly weren't disgraced and you should be very proud of what you've achieved. Looking forward to the next series. With no...

Definitely.It was the last game to be filmed that day and when I spoke to her afterwards she said she'd had a rough day and was tired.Take nothing away from Hamish though, he was a bit hit-and-miss but produced the goods in the end.

Richard Priest

Yeah, I was very impressed with the way Julie hung in and didn't seem overawed despite Kirk's early lead, all credit to her.

A good Kirk-beater from DC in round 6.

Bad luck Chris. I enjoyed watching your run though, and you lost to a very nice lady - I chatted to Jacqueline and her husband while I was at the studios.

Richard Priest

Well done Chris, impressive debut.You must have got on the show pretty quickly as I remember chatting to you not long ago and you were about to audition.

Richard Priest

I remember being wowed by JAPONICAS from Maria Boyes in the first round of one of her early games.

I'll throw my hat into the ring please
