Nice... my housemate got it.. he's on the ball today! I'm not... having failed to even meet the contestant's highest in any round (apart from numbers where I'd have been 2 away). He's on 28 at the break!Innis Carson wrote:ABETTORS for Round 3?

According to the recap I've just submitted, it was there as a DC beater for round 11.

I'm using the "Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Eleventh Edition Revised". Are there great discrepances?

Anywhere that sells dictionaries. A heads up though, it will cost you £35 (unless you find an offer somewhere)Adam Dexter wrote:Oh... where do I get a ODE2r from?

Re: Spoiler(s) for Friday 27/02/2009
I watched yesterday's game in the Green Room with Catherine, and she was a lot better than it looks. I don't know whether it was nerves, but she came out with a few good words in the previous match, and some nice numbers solutions, so I expected her to win. But what do I know?
Am I the only one who wanted a C at the end of round 7? (for 'fricassee', of course)
Also, Jeff should probably check to see if the contestants know where the buzzer is before starting the conundrum...
Watched this game in the studio audience- the first time I'd even been in an audience for a TV show! It was a heck of a lot less nerve-wracking than the previous fortnight's episodes!

Who were you with Neil?... just wondering who was responsible for giving the almost-a-round-of-applause that followed Jeff's own 'that's unbelievable Jeff' comment and figured it was more likely to be some of our forumites than the OAPs.Neil Zussman wrote:Watched this game in the studio audience- the first time I'd even been in an audience for a TV show!

"Creamiest" was the most obvious 9 I've seen for a while, really surprised they didn't both get it.

I was only there with my parents, you can't blame us (although my dad's cheering probably appears at the start of one of my episodes). I wouldn't've applauded that line, I'm not actually a fan of Chris Kamara. There were some young people around us (young in the sense of not being an OAP), possibly from Leeds Uni, so blame them. Honestly, they do less work at that Uni than I do!Matt Morrison wrote:Who were you with Neil?... just wondering who was responsible for giving the almost-a-round-of-applause that followed Jeff's own 'that's unbelievable Jeff' comment and figured it was more likely to be some of our forumites than the OAPs.Neil Zussman wrote:Watched this game in the studio audience- the first time I'd even been in an audience for a TV show!

In round 2 I kept thinking how the letters almost made GANDISEEG
Good performance by Ann but she'll have to be at her very best on Monday against the Bevatron Mark II (modified and updated since 2003).

After arguing for a couple of days with some jobsworth from C4 (who tried to get me to do everything from reinstall Windows Media Player to reset the time on my PC), I finally managed to convince them that the problem lay at their end rather than mine and Friday's episode is now viewable via Catch-Up.

Thanks for getting them to sort this one, Phil. I'm very glad I didn't do any of the DRM suggestions on the C4 help page - I had a feeling it wasn't my end that the problems lay. Now I can watch this one before seeing today's superior excitement.Phil Reynolds wrote:After arguing for a couple of days with some jobsworth from C4 (who tried to get me to do everything from reinstall Windows Media Player to reset the time on my PC), I finally managed to convince them that the problem lay at their end rather than mine and Friday's episode is now viewable via Catch-Up.

Thanks also Phil.
I tried to report the problem but the form kept telling me I was doing something wrong and would need to submit.
I watched Fri programme retrospectively after doing yesterday's (Monday's) programme first and it was an anti climax but I am glad I have caught up with the series.
I only got CREAMIEST out of time and yes it was an easy one to miss. GRRRR!
