You must be right Graeme, I watched the last part again on 4oD on my laptop and the buzzer sound was very clear. Strange, I wonder if it has anything to do with scart connections blocking out one particular type of sound. I'll check it again tomorrow, if there is a quick solve by the person in the c...

Although he was in the challenger's chair.

Ah cheers Jon, I was half suspecting that I was going deaf.

Ah yeah challenger's buzzer I meant.

Jojo Apollo

Wow even more well done to both, also happy birthday James.

It's great seeing all these greats/legends in showdowns, it's like seeing gunslingers competing against each other and seeing who is quickest on the draw.

I was also thinking CURVELINE for the 1st conundrum. Unlucky Innis, you couldn't have done anything more!

Kirk was very impressive and some of the spots (especially in the third part) were excellent. Well played, both of you.

Heh I was thinking it was LINECURVE.

Jojo Apollo

You gotta stop going to these tiebreak conundrums on us people. Some of us actually like having our hearts beat at a normal rhythm. :lol: Agreed, I'm safely sat at home playing along and my heartbeat is racing along, gawd knows what it is like in the tense studio. I am still having trouble hearing ...

Jojo Apollo

Wowzers!!! Brilliant game both, you had a tough act to follow with the Chris Davies vs David O'Donnell game, but your game equalled it for best game of the series so far, very well done both, this could easily have been the final. :) Often when you have a clash of the titans you get a let-down from ...

Jojo Apollo

What was that disallowed word that Julien Fell submitted in the game he lost? GAMBIERS I think it was.

Jojo Apollo

WOWWW!!!! What a tremendous game, very well played lads, brilliant standard and great entertainment. Best game of the tourn so far.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent performance by Jack. Well done to Chris also for keeping in good spirits as ever.

Make that the fifth member.

Ah yeah sorry, meant for the 15 rounds format.

Jojo Apollo

Also well done to James for putting up all these stat percentages each time, they would make a good Countdown Top Trumps card game.

Jojo Apollo

Another great jumper, Conor btw.

Doesn't it get very hot in the studio though with the jumper, the lights and the tenseness of the game?

Jojo Apollo

Superb stuff from Conor, the second member of the exclusive TV max club now.

Well done to Chris also for keeping the scores level for most of the game.

Is anyone else having trouble hearing the conundrum buzzers? It just seems to go quiet when there is a quick solve.

Jojo Apollo

Q: Is it possible to program CECIL so that it eliminates impossible targets? In theory yes, if there were some way of telling it what the numbers were. The Instant variant on apterous does this. Edit: actually, it's not as easy as this. If the numbers are 1 1 2 2 3 3 then it can't. Presumably Insta...

Jojo Apollo

Great game, well played lads.

Jojo Apollo

Q: Is it possible to program CECIL so that it eliminates impossible targets?

Jojo Apollo

Good spirited game, well done chaps. Very well played Conor, unlucky Mark, a bit off form today, at your usual very high standard you would've taken it down to the crucial conundrum I bet.

Jojo Apollo

Brilliant performance Jack, but can I just say ARRGH!!! for the missed all time high score, so so close. Ah well, well done anyway on the second highest ever score.

Well done to Wayne also.

Jojo Apollo

Well done David, excellent performance.

Also well done to Tom, hopefully we will still see you on apterous.

Jojo Apollo

Sheer brilliance from Kirk the maximum man.

Well done to John also, good to see him back.

Jojo Apollo

Brilliant game, very well played lads. Great comeback by Jack on the numbers, well done to Graeme also on maxing all the previous rounds.

Jojo Apollo

Good to see the return of Neil, well played Neil.

Also well done to Paul for making it a competative contest.

Jojo Apollo

Great game, well played lads, excellent standard.

Jojo Apollo

Very well played Chris, fast as ever on the conundrums.

Well done to David also.

Jojo Apollo

Good contest well played both, I was expecting to see Chris choose six small numbers or four large as I seem to recall him being very good on the numbers game.

Jojo Apollo

I'd like to see a picture of that jigsaw with 24,000 pieces. :) Ask and you shall receive! One picture of the whole thing filling up Chris's entire living room, one closer-up view of a single 6000-piece section of it. And remember, as I'm crap at internets, the link probably won't work at the first...

Jojo Apollo

Good to see Jill in the line-up, I remember her two nines in a row in the nine rounder. Well done to Chris on the win. I'd like to see a picture of that jigsaw with 24,000 pieces.

Jojo Apollo

Well played lads, good game, Jon still strong on the numbers.

So is STOWAGES now valid? Also the new numbers/score blue on blue displays will take a bit of time to get used to.

Jojo Apollo

Another top quality game, well done both.

Jojo Apollo

WOW!!! Great game, best of the series so far, well done lads. Jonathan was superfast on the conundrums, what was the combined total time taken to solve the conundrums? Unlucky Ed especially on the seven letter round.

Jojo Apollo

Good contest, very well played Andrew, Steven played well also.

Jojo Apollo

Good contest between two memorable characters of the game.

Jojo Apollo

Good contest well done both. I still remember David mostly from 100% and that other game show in which he used clever tactics to win a house.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent double ton game, most exciting game of the week, well done to both.

Jesus, that would sound threatening coming from a big bloke like you. Really sinister. This is all deeply unsavoury.

Jojo Apollo

Another great game, well done both. Conor brilliant as ever, I like the bit about abstract nonsense and symbols, very true.

No crucials so far this week, maybe tomorrow will be the first one.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent double ton game, well played, lads.

Jojo Apollo

POUNCER(S) is invalid on Countdown, I was half expecting Wayne to go for that but it looks like he may have done some revision. I think it all came to prominence after Oliver Garner guessed it wrong in Series 62. Always remembered that it's not in ever since. :) They should put it back in, we all r...

Jojo Apollo

As I feel like I started all of this mess in the first place, I apologize for any arguments or debates this might have caused. It was just me expressing surprise because I've played Nick at his best, I know how good Nick can be. I knew nothing about Wayne, and I knew nothing about how he'd been kee...

Jojo Apollo

I have to say I'm slightly surprised at today's outcome, just because I didn't really know how Wayne was as a player and how much he kept up since 1994, so very well done to him. Commiserations to Nick, I know how good of a player you can be, maybe just wasn't your day today. Seconded. Wayne was ex...

Jojo Apollo

Great to see the return of Countdown

and an excellent return to the game by Tom, it's like no time has passed at all, still playing at a very high standard.

DAEMONISE was a good try by Nicki.

Roll on the rest of the series.

Jojo Apollo

Many congrats, Paul, on becoming series champ

Also well done to Heather for reaching the final.

Another well run entertaining series, well done to the Countdown team once again.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, lads, good close contest. Congrats to Paul on making the semis.

Jojo Apollo

Well done, David, on becoming an octochamp.

Jojo Apollo

Bring back Fifteen to One.

Jojo Apollo

Sad to see that Marcus had to withdraw but glad to see Adam added to the line-up.

Jojo Apollo

Well done Heather on becoming an octochamp.

Jojo Apollo

Many congratulations, Paul.

Jojo Apollo

Happy 30th birthday, Countdown.

Jojo Apollo

Why not just have it symmetrical, with 4 number rounds, 10 letter rounds and the Conundrum, so that are there are equal picks on both disciplines.

Jojo Apollo

What will be the prize for the winner btw?

Jojo Apollo

Jojo Apollo

Ah the CoC point explains a lot, cheers James. I only knew the witchetty grub answer from watching IACGMOOH

Jojo Apollo

Unlucky James, good try. I thought it was a bit too early to try to breakaway, I was thinking you would have tried to breakaway at the second to last stage and try and take Melanie with you because you knew of her quizzing background. Well done to Melanie.

Jojo Apollo

Wow!!! Lots of great matches.

Good luck to all who are taking part.

Jojo Apollo

Ah cheers, James.

Jojo Apollo

Cheers,Thomas, I'll be tuning in.

Jojo Apollo

I know CJ left to concentrate on acting, his last show was shown last week but was surprised there wasn't some sort of tribute or goodbye to him, did he leave suddenly? Also how was his replacement Dave Rainford (his 1st show shown last week) chosen? I remember he was a previous contestant on Are Yo...

Jojo Apollo

Anyone else see Dragons' Den last night? It had former chat show host Chrystal Rose (now a Scrabble player) pitching a word-based game show to the Dragons, it wasn't too bad in my opinion but needs a bit more work on it. For those that missed it, here it is on iplayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e...

Jojo Apollo

Excellent spirited match between two gentlemen players of the game, well done both.

Round 4 was a good laugh, I think everyone was looking for the "R".

Superb standard from Peter once again, well done sir.
