Steven M. McCann

In fact, as a test, ask your family and friends the FA Cup question!

Steven M. McCann

Dave's proved my point, (that the producers wanted to finish the series with the players winning) the fact that Davina emphasised "if you include as well individual members of winning groups" made the players think, has a group won? Here's another example of a "loaded" question, ...

Steven M. McCann

That was my point, Ryan, about the question been "loaded", I'm sure most people would have said female, knowing there were 4 in Little Mix!
The answer was 6 males & 7 females (including the Little Mix 4).

Steven M. McCann

The last question of the series, for £125,000, has there been more male winners or female winners of the X Factor?
A perfect example of a question "loaded", for the player to get the correct answer!

Steven M. McCann

Would it be too much to ask, to invite the likes of Victoria Coren Mitchell , Professor Alice Roberts, Lucy Verasamy, Denise van Putin, Gina Harding or Suzi Perry for a change?

Steven M. McCann

Janet Street Porter, Jenny Eclair, Deborah Meaden & next up Margaret Mountford to be followed no doubt by Jo Brand, Ann Widdiecombe, Claire Short, Kate Aidie, Clare Balding, Carol Malone, Diane Abbot and Carol McGiffin!

9-00pm BBC3 Tonight....OSCAR PISTORIUS: THE TRUTH.

Steven M. McCann

Unbelieavably, South African "Legal Experts" are predicting he won't serve any prison time at all, as it's his first offence! An ex-girlfriend of his, in today's Daily Mirror, reveals the type of character I think most of us already suspect he is. The funny thing is, if a jury had come up ...

Steven M. McCann

The horse SCOTLAND is generally available @ 20/1 for Saturday's big race (The St Leger), it's got to be worth a few quid each way at that price, it's Starting Price will be a good deal shorter, once the "Referendum Media" start going on about how topical it is!

Steven M. McCann

Apart from the Judge obviously, does anyone else honestly believe that Oscar Pistorius thought there was an "intruder" in his bathroom?

Steven M. McCann

Susie Dent was on it tonight partnering Joe Wilkinson.
For those who didn't see it, the question that sunk them was....... who's the richest? Cheryl Cole, Daniel Radcliffe or Andy Murray.

Steven M. McCann

They put up a 1 second conundrum, presumably to have more time for the Guinness presentation and neither player gets it!
Plus, both pressing just for the hell of it, wasted more time!

Steven M. McCann

Alright, points taken, maybe I was being a little harsh on David, there may have been any number of reasons for his poor showing today. Although Mark, you won't mind getting him in the QF's! As soon as I feel confident enough to do myself justice (numbers wise) my application will be sent off. You m...

Steven M. McCann

That was the point I was making, James.
David was playing so poorly, he may have went for CHIMPANZEE not realizing there was no N, plus it was a 10!

Steven M. McCann

Anyone catching David for the first time today, will be wondering how on earth did this guy manage to win 7 in a row, he was so bad today I was half expecting him to declare 9...... CHIMPANZEE in the final letters game!

Steven M. McCann

Bradley, you as an Evertonian must appreciate the irony, you sold a £10M player (Fellaini) to Manure for £28M and then bought a £10M player (Lukaku) from Chelski for £28M!

Steven M. McCann

Re:Martin Lewis, I have to admit, it was a bit nauseating listening to the penny pinching tips of a bloke who sold his website for £87 Million!

Steven M. McCann

I think David is going to be like England at the World Cup, he's going to reach the finals, but has no chance of winning them!

Steven M. McCann

Jim, there's bound to be a permanent record of the concerts, especially as there's no guarantee she will ever do anything like this again! It could be that they film one of the concerts towards the end of the run, when everything's running smoothly and any early issues have been sorted out. Or then ...

Steven M. McCann

I thought the documentary was a little disappointing (too many "talking heads" Jo Brand included, not enough Kate) the "Kate Bush at the BBC" show was far better, with lots of rarely seen clips from the BBC archives. Both programmes can be seen again on Sunday Aug 24th, starting ...

Steven M. McCann

Some small consolation, for those not lucky enough to get tickets to see her in concert, over the next few weeks.

Steven M. McCann

It's bizarre (if true) that sex change boxing Manager/ Promoter Frank/Kellie Maloney is getting paid so much (£400,000).
For that sort of money I would expect maybe Sir Cliff Richard or The Krankies!

Steven M. McCann

Well, for that sort of money Jim, I think they could have got people a little more famous than George, a bloke who get's filmed watching telly (on Gogglebox) and White Dee from Benefits Street!

Steven M. McCann

I usually don't know half of them!

Steven M. McCann

I'm sure fellow Egghead (plus Mastermind & Millionaire winner) Pat Gibson rubbed his hands when he saw his £1 Million question!
It was a pretty easy question about Horse Racing, he not only worked for Totesport Bookmakers at the time, but he's also a keen racing fan!

Steven M. McCann

Come On Down! The Game Show Story. On "Millionaire", Judith Keppels £1 million question was Who was Eleanor of Aquitaine married to? Wasn't it an amazing coincidence Judith had visited her tomb a few months earlier and seen her resting with her husband, Henry II. Unless of course the produ...

Steven M. McCann

So AMPAGE isn't a word, you learn something everyday.
Well done Mark, you will certainty give Tricia something to think about, if and when you meet her, although I would still have her slight favourite!

Steven M. McCann

There's going to be a lot of pissed off "winners" tonight! (Aug 13th)
All sorts of records have been smashed £15 for four balls! £105 for five balls! £8,211 for five balls plus the bonus!
The numbers were 5,9,11,20,23,30, Bonus 45.

Steven M. McCann

The programme will now be shown on Thursday August 14th at 11-05pm.

Steven M. McCann

Looks like More4 has pulled the World's Biggest Penis! if you pardon the expression!

Steven M. McCann

Tonight.........same channel, same time...The World's Biggest Penis. One of the funniest programmes I have ever seen, loads of laugh out loud moments!

Steven M. McCann

The conundrum buzzer seemed to be pressed almost simultaneously as the word appeared, winging it?

Steven M. McCann

12 million+ COLDPLAY, just under 2 million GWYNETH PALTROW.

Steven M. McCann

This is getting ridiculous, why don't they just give them the money and not bother with any questions!, for £100,000 who has the most followers on Twitter, COLDPLAY or GWYNETH PALTROW?
What's next, who's richer, Dame Helen Mirren or The Queen?

Steven M. McCann

Is this going to be a profile of the Man Utd loving Ref Howard Webb, who's just announced his retirement?

Steven M. McCann

Obviously I could be completely wrong, but I honestly got the impression, Tricia only spotted POUNDER a second or two before she had to actually say it!

Steven M. McCann

Re: The POUNDER/PROUDER round, is Tricia at it again?

Steven M. McCann

Women's Doubles Table Tennis Semi-Final..........
Canada v Australia ..............
All 4 players born in China! well it amused me anyway.

Steven M. McCann

Tricia certainly dodged a bullet today!,I'm guessing, if she had been comfortably in front, she would have risked GRIMACERS.

Steven M. McCann

Thanks to "Numbergate", tomorrow's show is going to be one of the most closely scrutinized episodes in Countdown history.

Steven M. McCann

What on earth did Nick say that sent shockwaves through a Countdown audience? Was it, he can't wait till Jenny Eclair & Jo Brand our back in DC? At home, he fast forward's Susie's definition of words? (only joking Susie!) What's wrong with American spellings, why can't we have them? By the way, ...

Steven M. McCann

Tricia certainly comes across as someone who doesn't suffer fools gladly,I don't believe she's cheating, but she could have cleared up any doubt by offering to show her paper to Tom on both occasions.

Steven M. McCann

Tricia was terrific today,my one slight reservation about her going all the way,is her numbers, she slipped up on a very doable one yesterday, (today's number games were all very getable, so she was'nt really tested and we didn't learn much). It's very early days, but if I was offered odds of 7/1 ab...

Steven M. McCann

If 147 comes up again in the next day or two,assuming he's still under guarantee, CECIL should be unplugged put back in his box and taken back to the shop where he was bought.

Steven M. McCann

The 2014 World Cup Final ONLY got a billion viewers and that's disputed!
So one and a half billion tuning in to see John Barrowman, Lulu, Rod Stewart etc takes some swallowing!

Steven M. McCann

A global audience of one a half billion according to the BBC.

Steven M. McCann

Has there ever been an easier 40 points to be had on the numbers, than today?

Steven M. McCann

I've noticed there seems to be a big drop in performance from a lot of players after 3 or 4 games,is it mental fatigue?, James, in today numbers for example, only getting 10 points from a very doable 40, wasn't great.

Steven M. McCann

We've had Benefits Street, we're getting Immigration Street, how about Tax Avoidance Street? or maybe to attract a few more viewers, Celebrity Tax Avoidance Street?

Steven M. McCann

The answer, ICELAND UK Supermarket employees... 25,000
ICELAND the country Citizens ......319,000.
Despite Davinas protestations, it was a ludicrously easy question for the sum involved.

Steven M. McCann

They decided they wanted tonights couple to win a nice sum of money, so for £75,000, which is the bigger amount, the number of ICELAND UK Supermarket employees or the number of ICELAND the country Citizens?

Steven M. McCann

Film 4. 1-15am DEEP END. Freeview 15, Sky 315, Virgin 428, Freesat 300. A classic, definitely worth staying up for.

Steven M. McCann

Turns out that little numbers slip, cost Vicky the match.

Steven M. McCann

Vicky would have got the 3rd numbers game by multiplying the 7 & 3 rather than the 8 & 3.

Steven M. McCann

When yesterday's (July 15th) player had 5 boxes left, with £250,000-£15,000-£500-£10 & 10p. in them, I reckoned he was going to get an offer from the Banker of around £25K. I was badly wrong, he was only offered £12,500! I was then genuinely expecting the other players would urge our chap to con...

Steven M. McCann

When I stated Damen had gotten "lucky", it was due to his opponent, Ian, for whatever reason, playing nowhere near as well, as he had done on Monday.
Damen can now prove me wrong by hammering his next 7 opponents!
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with getting lucky!

Steven M. McCann

I have always thought 18 points is too big a reward for getting a 9 letter word,12 points would be fairer (I know it's a bit late to change it now!) I reckon Damen got lucky today, with DEVIATORS more or less winning it for him, I certainly would'nt be in any hurry to back him to be an octochamp, ju...

Steven M. McCann

As a fellow European, congratulations to Germany on giving our Continent a third successive World Cup victory! I was pleased it didn't go to penalties and that the better team won (although there wasn't much in it). To his credit, Lionel Messi looked embarrassed collecting the Golden Ball for player...

Steven M. McCann

I accept a lot of what you say Jennifer, but even you must agree, a lot of the knockout phase matches have been pretty dire, 8 goals in 1 match doesn't really compensate for only 16 goals in the other13 knockout matches (90 minutes) including 5 X 0-0's & 2 X 1-0's. Holland v Costa Rica, Holland ...
