Hello all, and welcome to the Robinson Recap. Having read Ryan's impressive offerings from the past 2 days, I'm not sure if I'm Taylor-made for this any more. :( But, hopefully, I'll squash out a very enjoyable recap for you all to enjoy. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-) Countdown recap for Wednesday 14 July ...

So, the World Cup has ended for another 4 years, but while Spain celebrate their championship triumph, let's see if anyone will get any closer to being the next champion of Countdown . Our new champion is Chris Barrow of Alsager, the place which gave us not much really, apart from the artist James L...

Just my opinion, but saying you were "miles away" when 17 x 50 was the answer is very embarrassing. Yep my jaw dropped when both contestants had nothing to offer that round. Having said that he's beaten me on quite a few letters rounds so fair play to him. In fairness, his lack of skill o...

Although, he'll have to improve his numbers considerably, if he's to reach the finals. I beg to differ. a) He might be in the finals already with the wins he has accumulated and b) we've had people in the finals whose numbers games were awful. We'll see.
