I haven't been on the forum for a while and wanted to put my opinion forward, for what it's worth, which I realise isn't much. I would like to echo Damian's comments and say that Rob Thomas was one of the nicest contestants I've encountered in the relatively short time I've been on the show. He was ...

Thank you to those of you who have expressed their concern for us, the production team. It's very much appreciated. Thank you for the phone message Jason! Kate listened to it this morning.

I'm ignoring him because he wrote something offensive on facebook!

Good luck to everyone!

Thanks everyone!

Michael was a wonderful man. Caring, considerate, funny, and of course fantastic at Countdown. He had such a kind heart and would have gladly given you the shirt from his back if you needed it. He generousity knew no bounds. I had the pleasure of working with him for a just a few months where he gui...

Patrick Stewart and Ronnie Corbett have been approched several times since I've been on the team (18 months) and both have declined our kind and generous offer - sorry!

The reason the rest of the production team couldn't be in dictionary corner is simple - we're rubbish at the game!

Hi Lesley
We always welcome suggestions. As for Hayley Mills, you'll have to run that one by Damian who I suspect might give you a rude answer!

"Not very hard though by the sound of it." I take offense to that comment I'm afraid. We try really hard in the office to secure guests for the corner. As Damian said in an earlier post however. they have to actually want to come on the programme. I doubt you could name anyone that we have...

He was invited less than a month ago and the answer was no. I expect he's concentrating on QI. Sorry

The wait is over kids!

Have a look on The Sun website

I just happen to agree with the boys - but I'm far too polite to write it myself!

Here, here! (although I obviously wouldn't use such language - cough, cough!!)

Daniel Searle is no relation to me - as far as I know anyway!

Carol essentially has a mundane role where she has done the same task many thousands of times. She somehow contrives to do it so well that she has made herself a star by doing it. Even when she's laughing too loud at some duff celebrity you know it's because her only thought is to make every episod...

I have to say James, Kai's opponant took the defeat very well and was a real gent.

"Despite his young age, Kai recently obtained a B grade in AS Level Maths." I never understand why people do exams early if they're not going to get the top grade, it's just retarded. Is it just me or is that a bit of a mean thing to say? Given he's 11 and completed an AS level is maths, ...

I'd be quite happy with Alexander Armstrong!

oooh yes. So sad! I think I might have even seen Damian wipe a tear from his eye at that one!

Absolute genius! It's set me up for the next three days in studio!

I'm not sure how you'd look in a designer dress and high heels David!!!

Not sure my comment warranted a "mad" face...

I'll bet the Countdown offices are being inundated with agents' calls and emails.

....like you wouldn't believe!!!

What have you got against Neil, Joseph?

I think you're being a bit unfair...

Intelligent, athletic, attractive and a very nice guy....only time will tell!

Anyone else have a sore head from yesterdays celebrations?!!!

I am indeed very sweet! As is Kate. Damian - not so much!

I'm not sure I like the way this thread is going!

Yeah please. Milk no sugar!

Hello!
I'm one of the other Associate Producers on the programme and thought I'd register to keep and eye on Damian and Kate!
