Now that the filming has been in Manchester for a few weeks, how do the 2 places compare?
e.g. facilities, ambience, friendliness, proximity to Hotel used.
Did anybody lose their job or was unable to re-locate?

He should have sat the cup on the table, kissed Rachel, then ran away to an empty room.

Hi all :D Been lurking for a while, about time I said hello. I appeared in series 60 heats back in April and had a whale of a time. After 3 wins, I was defeated by a spectacular performance from Hamish Williamson, who scored a debut record of 134. Loving the forum, loving Apterous and above all lov...

Davy Affleck

Well done Hamish - he still reminds me of doc Emmett Brown in "back to the future"

Davy Affleck

I would have liked to see Julie vs Cate - I wouldn't like to go home to any of them with a pound short in my wages.

She narrowly beat me in her third game (94 - 31) before she met Hamish.

Davy Affleck

Is the obvious tactic Jimmy employs of buzzing when you don't know the conundrum acceptable? Or only if you are an apterous member?

My experience was much the same as Dominic's, who played the game before mine. We met in the green room and while it was obvious we were both trying hard not to show that we were crapping ourselves. Julie was "ice cool" - whether by nature or the fact she had an appearance under her belt. ...

A guy on my shift is called Willie Pearson. Needless to say he is known as Prince Albert.

Davy Affleck

Is he definitely the same Hamish who was on in series 40? Hamish is, after all, quite a common Scots name. Normally it's only under 16s who get back after losing in their first game, and I hardly think Hamish was under 16 in 1999. If it is the same guy, was there something amiss about his earlier a...

Dunno, but he seemed to have a seemingly uncanny likeness to Hansford, with the twitching and the date thing. I dont think i've seen enough of him to judge properly, but form what i've seen, i'd say he is quite there socially, When he strolled into the studio he turned round and chatted away to the...

Hamish is now my 2nd favourite ever contestant. (Nobody will ever top Northern Irish man David O'D) How the hell does he do that birthday thingy? :o By spending 20 minutes on it and then they edit the gap out so it appears that he took 1 second I was there and he took just what it showed today

Edit: It is.

Hamish was on in 1999

I met Hamish at our audition in Edinburgh & also walking up to the studios in Leeds. He got a couple of 9's in the audition amd a few numbers. I stayed on after my game to watch him & Julie's match - I am glad I did. He looks & acts like Doc Emmet Brown from "Back to the future"...

Equal with Rosie Owen, Davy. Rosie was Kirk's eighth victim. They're all here.

thanks Howard. I didn't see Kirk's last game - that was the day I was in the Leeds studio getting humped (metaphorically) by Julie

Davy Affleck

Cheers Mike - it all looks so easy in black & white. It's a whole lot easier sitting at home or at work. I might be wrong but I might have the lowest score of series 60 so far. If only they had a chump of chumpions.
