Not specifically Apterous, but the wiki has been down all morning.

Tom S

A particularly good showing by Phil. Congrats to him on winning 8. Could be a bit of a dark horse......

Tom S

Nice debut by Phil. Could be our next octochamp- I hadn't heard of Bastide before.....

Tom S

Felt for Ian- didn't quite do himself justice today. Having said that, the letters were awful today.

Tom S

Great score by Ryan. Felt for Paul the returnee who would have beaten Ryan without doubt in some of his previous games.

Tom S

Badges (7+ length maxes not previously submitted as a max by a contestant on CD before*): 12 Medals (7+ length maxes not previously submitted as a max by a contestant or DC on CD before**): 7 Sorry for dredging up an old topic, but... does anyone know - these medals and badges; is there an easy way...

Tom S

I was namechecked in an Adam Hills gig.

Tom S

Strong showing by Ryan again tbh- 10 maxes. Roadsters and Varicose both being great spots.

Tom S

Solid stuff from C2. Nice 4L solve at the end....

Tom S

Very well played Ian- think John had a shot at winning 8 if he hadn't met you! Good game!

Tom S

Good showing from John today- finally breaking the 2/3 win curse!

Tom S

Ed Balls in Euroland- very insightful programme.

Tom S

Can't help but feel like Nick threw it away today. He was a decent player who could have possibly won 8. Thomas was lucky to win given his double blank in the letters, but came across as likeable and could seam his slight inconsistencies in the letters and numbers during the filming break and find h...

But I mean you can still edit it now so it will come up right on the topic list.
Bump!

Sorry- not techy minded= sorted now

Tom S

Another enjoyable game. Nick seems like quite a good player, too. Dave will be kicking himself for the 1st 3L miss, but at least it did not prove to be critical in the end.

Tom S

Good game today played in good spirit. Shame Paul only got 2 wins as had he been on a week or so ago, he'd have probably won a fair few more. But well played to Dave- can see him getting a few more under his belt.

Tom S

To offer assistance- Ciaran Thompson I'm pretty sure was a Brummie and I believe Chris Kilbride was British too. For 78- only Donal Casey and Gerry Walsh were 100% Irish, unless you discount Gerry for living in the UK. 90% sure Glen Burke was Irish. All the others were British- not sure about Sylvia...

You can edit it in the top post. It's better than just changing it in a later post.

I assumed he would be. What made you think otherwise?

It seems to me that general consensus on Brandreth isn't positive in the Countdown community, so was effectively disproving any doubts people may have had about him.

Tom S

Gyles Brandreth shook my hand when I was about 9 or 10 years old when he switched the Christmas lights on in my town. He was actually quite nice and pleasant, though.

Tom S

Solid debut by C2. Bromance was a particularly nice spot.

Tom S

Ouch- felt for Tara- not the best player but she definitely should not be joining Wendy Cooke in the 6 club when players like Lewis Fortnite exist. Plus in addition, I think she said she was from Iran, so big kudos to her for going on, considering English may have not been her 1st language.

Tom S

Possibly Stephen Mellor from 81 deserves a mention, despite the letters inconsistency. Arran Cleminson and Harry Clark from S80- both finalist potential. Chris Sturdy from S79 (despite the odd numbers-mishap). His letters were on a par with Martin May in that series. Jason Palmer who lost to Toby M ...

Tom S

Great game like yesterday. Scoring does not reflect the ability of the 2 players who both had their glory moments at different times.

Tom S

Whilst I do think that Corrina should be allowed to play again (most suitably in a special), I think that if you are not in the Top 8, then you should not be in the next final. A potential appropriate special ep should perhaps be Corrina v Paul Anderson as they were both in the same series and were ...

What a weird sicko he is.

Tom S

I think it's an interesting series, because I would rank some seeds above others (mainly 6-8). John Osmond would have probably been #9 had he kept playing like he did in his first 3 games, but in his next few, put in some performances which could give some of the top seeds a close game. David was go...

Tom S

Congrats to Jamie on a well-fought and well-deserved octotchamp status. Feel for Corrina who has been eliminated due to there being 9 Octochamps! Series definitely has perked up towards the end.

Tom S

Uploader.

Tom S

What a cracking game! Great comeback by Paul and conundrum solve. Real shame that he won't be in the finals, as he is better than a fair few of the other octos this series. But Jamie played very well, too, and am sure he will do well.

Tom S

I would assume that 7 8s must be a new record, too. Definitely think the series has improved in quality as the series has gone on, with some good octochamps. Paul has been very good so far, and has a good chance of being octo #9 . The chap today was his best opponent, too. What about the guy from t...

Tom S

I was going to post about this actually. I think Rachel Riley is completely blinkered about Corbyn and plain wrong. I'm not going to call for her to be sacked or anything though. I (as a former Corbynite) think she had overstepped the line in this case in regards to the image used, but the fact tha...

Tom S

Rachel Riley has seemingly caused upset amongst many as a result of this: https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/uk/who-is-rachel-riley-apartheid-jeremy-corbyn-mandela/ (article for image purposes) Given that people are calling for her sacking, I was purely interested as to what the C4C forum thought ...

Tom S

I thought Rufus played quite well regarding expected standards of his fellow celebs.

Tom S

Twas a very unfortunate ending for Ewen- he looked as if he saw Amortised straight after his dec and looked to just behind Paul on the conundrum. Nonetheless, Paul has had a good run so far with strong scores- on for a nice octototal should he make it, which I hope he will.

Tom S

These people are just currently in the news and won't be considered famous in five years. And Strictly contestant? Kind of means she wasn't famous enough to even make the show if that's how people refer to her since it's meant to be for people who are already celebrities. Solely remarked on the Str...

Similarly Jennifer Arcuri is without one. Strictly contestant Saffron Barker is also without a page.

Tom S

Morgan was a solid player- well done to him. C2 was not too bad either. He has had to work his way during his run. It's all looking a bit precarious for Corrina at the moment- I would not rank her in #8 in terms of ability of the octos so far- maybe #6.

Tom S

Made for a good game, today. Nick's general "2 good players" term was well used today.

Tom S

Yes, I could get why people saw Rachel as being a bit OTT in tone in R3, but no malice was intended. On a separate note, that was a pretty stong showing from Morgan. Looks like he could become an octochamp-his conundrum skills are particularly strong.

Certainly looking plausible...

Tom S

Congrats to John. For a non-apterite, his word knowledge was strong and he may be a dark horse if he works on his numbers....

Tom S

Ouch! Tough ending on Mike there. He would have easily won 8 if he kept playing like he did today. Very good game.

Has no one seen a report that Countdown is taking a break in the New Year. Can't remember where I saw it now but it was within the last two weeks. I believe that was in reference to filming, not production. There are already episodes registered as being on come New Year. Not totally sure how they w...

Or (25-7)*(50-7+1) Can anyone tell me if Gloria Hunniford is really good at Countdown or a shameless cheat. Most people I think I can read, but not her. I don't think Gloria is a shameless cheat, I think she just meets in the middle a bit. If she was shamelessly cheating, then she would not be decl...

Tom S

Looking like a good line-up! Look forward to seeing it all- only Sabrina Grant is a new name on me.

Tom S

2 good games in a row. Shame someone had to leave in both of them, but it made for good viewing.....

Tom S

Last week's champ Paul Nixon and S76 champ Stephen Read are a bit alike in both appearance and demeanour.

Tom S

Didn't notice that. Good spot.

Tom S

893 is a very healthy total. The series is not looking 1 sided now in regards to the contention for the win. Quite heavy on the Octochamp table already, too.....

Tom S

HI Carl- Many thanks for the kind comments, but I think on this occasion I will have to hand the baton over to anyone who wants it, as I am a bit booked up with other events at the moment. But it's always good fun to do for a statto like myself

Tom S

Any more than 5 in Round 4? Could not get past it myself... Round 3 alt= (7 x 6 +2) x 3 and Round 9 alt= 50 x 4 - 10 x 2 - 3 - 2

Tom S

Paul Nixon should qualify for this on the same basis that Mike Daysley qualified for it....

Tom S

Hello again everyone from Neil B. I may have imagined it, but there was a 1st October Countdown shown sometime on Tuesday (I don't think I am allowed to begin a Spoiler page by myself) ? That's because on my 'workings' I had written (8*4)-3=29*25=725-(9/9) and as I mentioned many moons ago when I f...

Tom S

Impressive play Paul- well done on the performance.
