I think Heather now needs snookers.

Steven M. McCann

So for defying odds of 144,414/1 your reward for matching 5 balls last night was an incredible....................£15. The "Lucky" numbers were 7,14,21,35,41,42, Bonus Ball 43. Can you imagine if 28 had come out instead of 41....players that had matched 5 would have been seriously struggli...

Steven M. McCann

Well Conrad, since you've asked, I think you have had a pretty easy run! you've by your own admission been able to "play badly" at times and still win fairly comfortably. Also, you have never had to face a "crucial" conundrum, so you've never been in any real danger of losing. I'...

Steven M. McCann

Well done on becoming an Octochamp, Conrad, I reckon today's conundrum setter, noticed you could pass for a young David Blaine!

Among my bets today, I had OUR KAEMPFER 10/1 (PADDY POWER paid out on 5th), FULL SHIFT 12/1 (4th), BLOODY MARY 11/1 (3rd) and ZABANA 9/1(UR) in a 80p E-W Lucky 15. Most Bookies refunded single bets on ZABANA, yet counted him as a loser instead of a non-runner in multiple bets (like my Lucky 15's), I...

Steven M. McCann

A bit unlucky today, a 2nd, a 3rd, 2×4ths, a faller at the last when disputing 2nd and one stumbling on the flat and unseating the jockey when still travelling well. 1-30 Yorkhill 5/2. WIN 2-10.

Steven M. McCann

I thought it was a little mean of Susie to make Mark spell out FLUORIDE, she obviously knows it's one of those words that's commonly misspelt, so correctly guessed he had misspelt it, she could easily have let it go.

Steven M. McCann

When I heard Erica was a keen Scrabble player and Crossword buff, I thought we might have a competitive game today.

Steven M. McCann

Conrad, if you had been on the show a few weeks earlier, you would have encountered smugness personified........John Inverdale!

Steven M. McCann

On their Freeview Showcase Channel (59) they could easily have put on the Liverpool v Manchester United Europa League clash and got millions tuning in, instead they have opted to put on Athletic Bilbao v Valencia instead, which will struggle to break 100,000, if past viewing figures are anything to ...

Steven M. McCann

Paul is become slightly annoying with his pretend risky words.....DEVIANT and UNDERMAN for goodness sake!

Steven M. McCann

Something of a rarity, a British stand-up comedian, who's actually quite funny.

Steven M. McCann

GLARIEST as an alternative in the REGALIST round.

Steven M. McCann

A £6.5m WHITEWASH.
Apparently nobody in any position of power had ever heard anything untoward about his "extra curricular" activities, yeah right.

Steven M. McCann

Paul by 90.

Steven M. McCann

Bloody hell! David's having a nightmare.

Steven M. McCann

Irish men with moobs are known as Diddymen.

Steven M. McCann

Former soccer referee Howard Webb's four son's are called Alex, Ryan, Wayne and Cristiano.

Steven M. McCann

Derren Brown's last "Special"was all about pressurising people into into doing things they wouldn't normally do by complying.
This film explored the same theme.

Steven M. McCann

COMPLIANCE (2012) is on tonight on Film4 at 11-15pm.

Steven M. McCann

Jack by 25 points.

Steven M. McCann

Just for a laugh, listen to Nick's player introduction then put up a winning player and margin prediction.

Steven M. McCann

TRAMPLES as a beater in the last round before Susie's bit.

Steven M. McCann

David must be getting close to the record now for non-attempts at numbers solves.

Steven M. McCann

TIMEOUT as a beater in the OUTFIT round.

Steven M. McCann

Very good Graeme, I'm a lot more tolerant these days and although I agree with a lot of what Edward Byrne posted, I'm happy to accept that both players were trying their best. Maybe a 5 point deduction for players who don't even attempt a numbers solve might force one or two to try a little bit hard...

Steven M. McCann

Surely that first numbers game should have been disallowed.

Steven M. McCann

Decent game today, could have went either way, I don't think there would have been too much between either of these two and our recent Octochamp, Tim Down, although I would make Tim a slight favourite over both of them mainly due to his numbers prowess (although he is prone to slip in the odd shocke...

Steven M. McCann

In keeping with it being F A Cup weekend, Tim obviously decided to rest some of his brain today!

Steven M. McCann

PLOTLINE as a 1st Red beater.

Steven M. McCann

Got it in one, Zarte, the Touchy Words dictionary has my vocabulary damaged beyond repair (as regards Countdown) on the plus side I'm still the number 1 Touchy Words player!

Steven M. McCann

LOL I meant Tim of course, but my Octuchamp comment still stands.

Steven M. McCann

UNSPARED or UNDRAPES in the PANDERS round, Champion Nick looks vulnerable, I would be amazed if he ends up an Octuchamp.

Steven M. McCann

Brilliant film, full of memorable scenes, if you haven't seen it before, you're in for a treat.

Steven M. McCann

The owner of the second £33 million winning ticket has come forward, but there might be a problem................. The ticket has had a spin in her washing machine courtesy of the pocket of her jeans and now the date and barcode on the ticket are illegible, although the winning numbers are perfectly...

Steven M. McCann

Matthew Corbett (Harry's son) worked with Sooty between 1976-1998 so it could have been him who was less than polite to Jennifer and her brother, Richard Cadell who has been Sooty's partner since 1998 is another possible suspect!

Steven M. McCann

Harry H Corbett died in 1982 and Harry "Sooty" Corbett died in 1989, so I think they are both in the clear, unless Jennifer is a good deal older than she looks!

Steven M. McCann

Terrific final, very well done Dylan, commiserations Dan, now the 64,000 dollar question.... would Dylan have got ROSMARINE if Dan hadn't flagged it up for the nation in his semi-final, even Nick got it!

Steven M. McCann

Another brilliant match, during the last numbers game, with Dan scribbling away frantically and Jennifer sitting serenely, I was convinced we were going to be treated to a crucial conundrum, it wasn't to be, Dan delivered. I don't think too many would disagree that the 4 best players reached the sem...

Steven M. McCann

I was a little annoyed to find Jay Kay from Jamiroquai was maybe not the massive bellend I'd always assumed he was! It's surprising how many of the more obnoxious ones have ended up in Dictionary Corner! Who was the defeated Countdown player in 2003 consoled by Richard and Carol on page 26? Anyone w...

Steven M. McCann

Congratulations to both players on serving up a classic, the result was always in doubt till the very end.
URNFIELDS has to be the spot of the competition so far.

Steven M. McCann

I think their could have been still more "sport" to be had even after the push............
"Oh my god, he's still alive! you're going to have to go down and finish him or he'll tell everybody he was pushed and you'll go to prison for a very long time!"

Steven M. McCann

I might be going out on a limb here, but I reckon David Beckham, Tony Blair or Prince Charles going, might stir up a little interest.
As for the BBC having a blanket ban on all comedy for 12 days after the Queen passes, is it true they plan to put "Miranda" on a loop for the duration?

Steven M. McCann

I'd almost given up on Derren Brown after some of his recent efforts (particularly the one's involving gambling). SPOILER ALERT to anyone who hasn't watched it yet........ Concentrating on one of the "stooges" I think was a mistake, following all four (a bit like on the last day of the Foo...

Steven M. McCann

The magic of the F.A. Cup!

Steven M. McCann

Two tickets won over £33 million each for matching all 6 balls, however if you just missed out and only matched 5, I'm afraid your reward wasn't exactly life changing......... a poxy £1,309.

Steven M. McCann

Just finished watching this now,yet another high quality game, excellent performance from Jennifer, George didn't do an awful lot wrong.
Re Gloria's Bee Gees story, they have previous form for behaving like tossers, in fact they used to be called Les Tossers!

Steven M. McCann

£60 odd million up for grabs after an unprecedented 14 rollovers! If nobody matches all 6 numbers the £60 odd million will then be divided up among those who got 5 numbers plus the bonus ball, rather than rollover again. But before you get too excited, the odds of getting all 6 are now roughly 45 mi...

Steven M. McCann

I wasn't trying to be sarky, it's just I have never seen an episode of the show(s), yet I feel I know the whole bloody bunch of them!

Steven M. McCann

Interesting Jim, do you reckon Peter's heard of the Kardashians?

Steven M. McCann

Was watching the Mighty Reds putting Stoke to the sword, so have just caught up with this now. Gemma Collins 2 - Was in the jungle 2014, Tabloids... Daniella Westbrook 2 - Septum, Eastenders, Tabloids etc... Darren Day 2 - Love Rat, Tabloids etc... David Gest 2 - Jungle, Liza Minelli, Michael Jackso...

Steven M. McCann

Let's play a game......if you know who somebody is, score 2 points, if you have a vague idea score 1 point, score 0 points if you have no idea who the "Celebrity" is!

Steven M. McCann

I'm using an old browser that won't let me vote (I feel disenfranchised!) for what it's worth, I would have voted for Jennifer.

Steven M. McCann

Surely both Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho should have been recognised............. for their services to comedy!

Steven M. McCann

Good close final, well done Jonathan, commiserations Matthew, my one criticism....... the conundrum, far too hard!
Did anyone in the audience get it? or even of heard of it before?

Steven M. McCann

Terrific game, very well played Matthew, hard luck Thomas, although I have to say, John Hardie would have been crucified on here if he had been guilty of the very dubious behaviour that went on in the second last letters game.

Steven M. McCann

Well what a shock, the BBC got the exact result they wanted, Andy Murray undeservedly winning and Tyson Fury not in the first three (he was 4th) funny that? Andy basically was the Davis Cup team, so why did the BBC need to give the GB Team "bit part players" the team of the year award on t...
