Damian must be tearing his hair out reading this! He's probably half wishing that somebody wasn't in France, so that he could have got peed off with these forums earlier! Damian makes some great contributions here, but I can see how it would get very wearying having your judg(e)ment questioned all ...

Funny you should say that as I was actually miming when I was on.

I'd have kept quiet if I were you Jason... I think you were right, just got a call to say I was invited 'erroneously' :( ... Sounds like Mr Eadie intervened, but then I'd rather find out now than after schlepping up to Bristol so it's probably just as well. Do you mean Manchester? No, Bristol, for ...

Sorry Jason, but you sort of brought it on yourself. No, no, that's fine, as I said in my last (re-edited) post, I'd rather find out now than have a fruitless trip up to Bristol. I don't want to sneak in through the back door, if you want me back I'll come back and have another go, if not c'est la ...

I'd have kept quiet if I were you Jason... I did say on the application that I'd been on before, so surely they wouldn't have called me for an audition if it was an issue? (hope not, anyway...) You say that, Jason, but when I went for my audition back in February, I had put on my application form t...

Well... I'm having another go, I got a letter today saying I've got an audition at the end of this month so wish me luck! My justification is that I was on in the 9 round days and that I had the highest losing score of the series against an opponent who went on to become the number one seed so on an...

I used to have mine up on my own site years ago, linked to from the Countdown Page, but the site is now defunct so I've sent a copy to Mike to host.

Hi Matt and Nick (and everyone of course), I'm in the non-sunny Torbay!

Can't remember which round but I got 'RAMEKINS' which the contestants and DC seemed to miss...

There was a little article in the Daily Star Sunday (I think that's what it was) that I picked up on the train yesterday. It stated who the next presenter of Countdown was going to be - and it wasn't Rory Bremner. I have searched the Daily Star site and can't find any reference to it and it's not o...

I was surprised to hear this too, and I am very glad that I got my e-mail read by Des at the beginning of this series. Seriously, my pick to replace Des would be a man who has had his own gardening and daytime talk show in the UK as well as someone who I'll bet was made fun of a lot when he was you...

No, because I got that too - the only word DC mentioned was the African sounding one that I can't remember...

Glad you have joined us Jason. I was Ballheimer's first victim, and I remember you from filming - although I don't think you arrived until after my initial victory and subsequent defeat had been completed? I'd left before your show was done, but can still remember watching it at home feeling fright...

He plays for Notts County, Jason ;) Thanks, but I had already found that out - I wasn't even sure of his name, so went to 'The Countdown Page', but that hasn't been updated for this series yet, however they had a link to the Countdown Corral, where I found his name out, Googled it and found a teleg...

Hello all, I'm Jason and I was on series 42 back in February 2000, where I achieved the dubious distinction of chalking up the highest losing score of the series (62 in the days of the 30 minute game; any other day, etc etc), although I console myself with the fact that I got beaten by the number 1 ...
