Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 22 December 2021 (Series 84, SF2)
The second last episode of the Series with just ten days left to a brand new year! This is the Semi-Final that I mentioned could go anyone's way yesterday. Aw, how cute, Stu has an octopus as a mascot. Incidentally, it's named "Octo" with a reference to the Octochamp status! I liked how Ph...

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 21st December 2021 (Series 84, SF 1)
Watched this episode a bit later than usual as I was in a end-of-year virtual gathering which will probably be my main method of communicating with everyone just like what happened in the run-up to Christmas 2020. Ugh, it seems cruel that we're back in the same situation as this time last year. :( W...

The final week of Countdown this year gets underway, and Susie Dent's safe and well at the time of recording which is a relief as she's back, and for the first time together with Dr. Anne-Marie on-screen. Reverend Richard Coles also shares about his upcoming appearance on "Celebrity Chase"...

Re: Spoilers for Friday 17 December 2021 (Series 84, QF3)
Two of my predictions came true, one related to the show and one not. We did indeed get a lot more people on the daily chat as I had expected (not least to mention Sam and Florence together!) and North Shropshire would fall to the Liberal Democrats which is just staggering. Anyways, the latter isn't...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 16th December 2021 (Series 84, QF 2)
Not so good news with a record breaking number of COVID-19 cases yesterday thanks to the Omicron variant, but hey, the show still goes on no matter what; no one wants to have it suspended like what happened in the middle of last year.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 15th December 2021 (Series 84, QF 1)
It has been an exciting first Series with Anne Robinson as the host of Countdown (whether you view it positively or negatively), and with Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon as the temporary arithmetician while Rachel is away on maternity leave. It sure is set to be a great Christmas showdown! Up today are &quo...
