Double whammy from the weekend. DREAM 1: I am at Villa Park, watching Villa vs Forest as a guest of Riccy Scimeca, a name of who anyone who ever collected Premier League stickers may remember. I lookdown from the VIP booth and I see Jamie McNeill in the crowd with a blonde haired Callum Todd. As the...

Was it just me that thought of: "And there was ectoplasm everywhere!"

not quite, but a similar thought crossed my mind

James Laverty

Final numbers: ((7*2*5)-3)*10-8

Was that Ted Bundy's son solving the conundrum?

James Laverty

rather surprised DC missed FEATURE

***INCLUDES SPOILERS***

Are today's and Friday 20th's shows the first to have back-to-back tiebreak conundrums?

James Laverty

Unusual one last night. My old university band were mysteriously invited to play a concert in Hull by a mystery investor for a rather generous sum of money. We arrived at the concert venue, finding out that the investor was Zarte who proceeded to knock out our lead singer with a frying pan and take...

George Pryn wrote:Does anyone know when the next apterite airs ???

Mr Rekrab I believe, on either Tuesday or Wednesday

James Laverty

the +100 is missing from the second numbers solution

James Laverty

2nd numbers: (50-((100+75)/25)-5)*8

James Laverty

Probably not the easiest but got 808 on third numbers

(75+25+1)*(4*6/3)

James Laverty

Also (sadly) new time, seeing as C4 are pushing Countdown even earlier in the schedules

James Laverty

Well done Tracey on octochampdom and a good octotal, thought the score line was harsh on Wendy though, and 6 didn't reflect her ability

James Laverty

is it just me or did the conundrum solver remind anyone of the kid from this episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sshkguxd7zg

James Laverty

MIAOWS a beater for R4

James Laverty

Standard method for 1st numbers (although by the way it's going it might be the only numbers round): (100+10)*6+6

I've just re-watched a classic film noir from 1947 (Out of the Past) and, temporal displacement issues notwithstanding, am certain that the deaf young man at the petrol station was played by Dylan Taylor. The credits said Dickie Moore, but I'm not fooled by such a crap pseudonym - I'm an expert on ...

The space bar on my laptop has stopped working. (Before anyone says, I'm copying and pasting a space each time), every other key is fine. I have tried cleaning the keys and there is nothing lodged underneath them. Anyone got any ideas??

James Laverty

Very well done to both Dan and Antoinette for a great finale to the series. Been enjoyable with great contestants and characters

James Laverty

When have finals for the first series in the year been in the past? I'm also hopefully in the next series (passed audition in August, but no date yet), and potentially away for half of May. (Again, checking in case things go well) Thomas, in the past finals have tended to be filmed at the beginning...

James Laverty

Just caught up on 4od. Very well done Dan on a max game and to George for not falling away. Been a brilliant series and it just keeps getting better

James Laverty

Appears to be a problem with Firefox. I couldn't get on with it last night but was think when I switched to Google Chrome

Thomas Cappleman wrote:Any idea how to get Java to let me on from? I've tried adding that IP address to the exceptions but it still won't let me start the game

I had java problems on Firefox earlier. Fine on chrome so could just be a quirk of the new update

James Laverty

Brilliant recap, looking forward to Mark v George even more now. What about this legendary Darren though Jen

James Laverty

Just a reminder we are back to 3.10 today!

James Laverty

Weird one from a few nights ago I forgot to post earlier. It started with Dan McColm turning up at my front door and handing me a bottle of "water" saying he would be back later. As I walk back to the living room I find that Andy Platt, Callum Pickering, Adam Curran, Jen Steadman, Callum T...

So what is happening on Friday 12th? Radio Times has Countdown on at 3.30. Is that a special?

Indeed it is. I think James R said it was between Bobby Johnson and Bobby Banerjee

James Laverty

Well done on a cracking octochamp run Antoinette, going to be a very exciting finals

James Laverty

Looking likely I'll be coming now

, just need my bank to clear up a mistake on my account before I can pay though

James Laverty

I'm guessing since these have been scheduled, it will mean that Matt Croy's special will never make it to air

Also with the times being 3.10, is CD moving back to that time when 15-to-1 finishes?

That Whitehall is a useless old shit in Dictionary Corner. Susie desperately looks for him to say something in every round, and if she's lucky he'll read out one word she's written down and that's it. Fucking toss. His son's a cunt as well. By contrast, Kate Garraway was excellent last week. Unfort...

James Laverty

Sounds good and would normally say yes to Glasgow (wouldn't have to pay for hotels), but the bank holiday weekend doesn't look good for me. Will confirm nearer the time

Last numbers (50+25-8)*(7+3)-1

James Laverty

Newsnight are as well

James Laverty

With the exception of Samir Pilica and Mark Davies, all of the octochamps in 2014 have finished their run on the last filmed show of their second day of recording (ie final day of a DC guest). Does this imply that making your debut straight after the lunch break gives you an advantage or a mere coin...

James Laverty

Many thanks to James and Jeff for organising a great weekend. Good to see people for the first time in ages, as well as some for the first time completely.

Hopefully will see you all at COLIN

James Laverty

Anyone going to be in Huddersfield tonight and fancy meeting up for a drink? I'm getting there around 8ish

Just caught up with this. Well done on a great octorun and hope you (and everyone else involved) enjoys and does well in the finals. Just a pity there weren't so many nines available

James Laverty

Proof that I spend too much time on the forum and Apterous recently as I had my first ever Countdown dream last night. Weirdly, I was in the (now demolished) hall of my old school building, hosting my own Co:Event, with regular apterites attending, as well as some of my uni mates, and celebriity gue...

James Laverty

Was it just me or did the audience member who solved the numbernundrum look familiar? Off-spring of any forumites?

Following on from Dan McColm's return yesterday, is he the first returning contestant to have had both of his runs on the show with in the Rachel Riley era (excluding contestants invited back due to mistakes)

Sadly going to have to take my name off the interested list due to being unavailable that weekend

I quite like the fact that no-one has commented on Damian's Blackpool related conundrum scramble in there. Having said that, it could easily have been the fact that he could've (and in a way has) been sacked from his job.......... :P :lol: I got the Blackpool related scramble but I've obviously mis...

Hi everyone and welcome to Wednesday's recap for this week. I'm covering for James Robinson today, so here goes. Countdown recap for Wednesday 24 September 2014.

With regards to the 6000th episode issue, I'm guessing that includes the Catsdown episodes, although by my estimate we should have passed the milestone already then
