Spoilers for Tuesday 23rd July 2024 (Series 90, Heat 17)

Not sure who is due on this series but she is gonna take some stopping, especially if the finals are with the reduced dictionary.

Re: Who is better: Carol Vorderman or Rachel Riley?

Do you have any examples you think are suspicious that we could look at? In terms of ability she’s obviously excellent. There are a few...

Re: Getting back on for a second go

Good luck with your application Adam, will keep my fingers crossed for you. Coming up to 8 years since my solitary appearance and I’m desperate to get back on. Applied last year but didn’t hear anything so might have to wait for the 10 year mark. Slightly tempted to apply before then but not sure p...

Re: Spoilers for Friday 23 December 2022 - Series 86 Grand Final

Great final and both players deserved an Oscar for not giving away they had their respective 9s.

Craig Charles has been the best DC guest in a long time. Can see he’s obviously a big fan of the show.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 11 December 2020 (Series 82, Second Quarter Final)

Thought Sam looked a bit nervous to start with but settled as the game went on.

Would be interested to know what else Damien had written down in the bondager round.

Re: Tuesday 18th July 2017 (Series 77, Prelim 11)

Thanks for doing these recaps James, enjoy reading them. Would be nice if it could go back to the times when there were a team of recappers and I would be prone to volunteering every now and then when I have time. :) Huge plus one to this. Love going through all these recaps. Keep up the good work.
