Slightly out of time, but (75+8*100/50-1)*8 in R3.

Countdown will air on a Saturday for the first time since 2006 on 24th November 2:45pm.

Ah thought Lewis would be on for a cracker of a comeback, hut was not to be. Well done to him for the very good spot, though. Well done to Alan though for adding to the influx of octochamps, and maybe Chris can take comfort knowing the fact he lost to an octochamp. This series is shaping up to be very interesting indeed......

Thanks Tom. I do draw comfort from Alan's subsequent success and although it is slightly galling that I had him in my sights, you have to take your chances...

Looking forward to seeing the end of series battles.

That's interesting - do you know why they're doing that?

When was the last series where a 7-time champion didn't make the finals? Was it Series 47? As a wiki/Countdown history geek I should totally remember this... guess I've gotta turn in my card now :mrgreen:
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Yeah that's right. 3 7 time winners couldn't make the finals. Bad time to be on the show right?
