Re: Spoilers for Tuesday May 27th 2014 (S70 P89)

You did alright Andrew, but that was some start you give him! on the conundrum, once you saw the ING, were you not tempted to buzz and hope the rest came to you before you had to say it! Yeah, the nerves got to me after watching Samir's performance in the game before mine, which is why he got such ...

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday May 27th 2014 (S70 P89)

Hope you all enjoyed today's episode, even though Samir gave me a sound beating :D

Looking forward to reading Callum's recap of the game, I just hope he won't be TOO harsh with me... :oops:

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here

Well, today's the day that I face my letters and numbers-based destiny. I'm hopeful that the practice I've put in will pay dividends for me. Good luck to all those that are going through the auditioning process and those that have had their auditions and are awaiting their results. EDIT - Filming do...

It's where somebody buys something, like a new gadget or something, then films themselves opening the packaging and giving a first impression of it.

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here

From experience, how long do they normally take to let you know if you got through an audition? I just had mine, played solidly mostly but had one fantastic round (beat 8 others in the room) and one mare (1 off a reasonably simple numbers) so I'm not sure either way at all. Am I going to have a wee...

Re: Thursday 6th March 2014 (Series 70, Prelim 44)

I'd have bet ANYTHING that UNBOXED was a proper word on that second letter game, because you have unboxing videos on YouTube. Guess it's not used enough to warrant inclusion in the dictionary... EDIT - I also solved the 6-small selection on Numbers Game 3. I did 8x4 = 32, 32 - 9 = 23, 23 x 5 = 115, ...

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

I'm actually on Apterous already, but on a trial account for now. I've played a handful of games so far, I've had a few games where I got thoroughly trounced and a few where I came close to winning. In time, I probably will look into subscribing

Re: Post your audition/filming/transmission dates here

I had my audition back in November and I'm slotted in for the 4th game of the day on March 24th, so between now and then, I plan to get as much practice as I can

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Thanks, Andy. I have a lot of friends and family that are also keen to see how I do :D I'm going on the show more for the experience of being on it and to add to my game show CV. I've only done 2 other game shows in the past, the first being Memory Bank for Channel 5 in 2004 and I won £700, the seco...

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Thanks for the welcome :) Countdowning is serious business for me right now as it's only 5 weeks before my appearance, so I'm trying to get as much practice in as I can in that timeframe. As well as the TV shows, I have a boxed game and puzzle book I can use, and I'll certainly look into giving some...
