Re: Carol on The Apprentice
I was pleased to see Carol on our screens too. :D And I loved that she did some quick sums on a couple of occassions too while the others tried to add up. :lol: I recorded this last night and watched it earlier. Bloody hell, did you see Jonathan Ross looking amazed at Carol doing a not-very-hard bi...

Re: Rachel Riley at the numbers board
Give the girl a chance! I do not know what her instructions are from on high but I think it is wrong to expect a repetition of the Carol person. I would have thought that her instructions from on high (i.e. Eadie) would be to become a repetition of the Carol person as quickly as possible. I really ...

Re: Spoilers for Monday February 2nd 2009
what on earth did Rachel just say when GOD came out in R1 letters? It was truly mumbletastic. The look on Rachel's face when that woman said "he's with us" (or did Rachel say that, I wasn't paying attention). Definitely Rachel who said "He's with us" That was bizarre. From the w...

Re: Rachel Riley Unveiled.
Saying her favourite Beatle was "the scouse one" was a funny line. Goshdarn, I think Rachel might actually be the kind of comic foil that Carol simply never could be, while Jeff Stelling (now that he's got over making football references in every round) might be the best presenter the show...

Re: Countdown in the news
I understand Carol won't watch Countdown again, but I thought she said she was going to try like heck to continue her TV career. Didn't she say she was "only" going to do three major projects and a load of guest appearances this year? Which if anything would surely represent an increased ...

Re: An interesting spot
It's come up before that CECIL will repeatedly generate the same number until reset by a second button on the back, to facilitate retakes. So it sounds to me as if the big red button only initiates the display, and the actual number generation is initiated by the reset button. In other words, the nu...

Re: Is Countdown a 'guilty pleasure'?
It seems strange to me that admitting to playing along would be considered any worse than admitting to watching without playing along. I mean, surely the point of watching the show at all is to play along?

Re: An alternate title for Countdown
The thing that strikes me about the photos of Jeff and Rachel is how American they look. Like they're channelling Pat Sajak and Vanna White or something. (One for Jason Larsen there!)

Re: Rachel Riley Unveiled.
'She’s wonderful at maths. I never understood her work at university – it all looked like random squiggles to me.’
That's a coincidence. My maths looks like random squiggles too.

Exactly. It was planned to be appropriate to the occasion, which makes it very much unironic.

Oh man, that sounds far too much like hard work. The standard nowadays is so high, it feels like you need to memorize OSW just to compete. At least I'm good at the numbers, though.
