[Matt Morrison]

The lookalike plot thickens...

[Ben Hunter]

Hey guys what's going on in this thread?

[Mark Kudlowski]

ENFORCES for Round 1

[Matt Morrison]

I'm definitely thinking Tim Roth more than Mark Watson now.
The Abramovich one doesn't cut it with me at all.

[Chris Davies]

MADRILENE in the third half (when the challenger got REMAINED).

EDIT: ENFORCES in Round 1 too, I'm surprised DC didn't find it. I'm watching this on 4+1

[Jimmy Gough]

I think we could have Octochamp no.3 on the way! I hope so anyway.

Awesome stuff Chris btw.

[Kai Laddiman]

Seen the recap - is this the Tony Robinson off of Time Team?

[Kirk Bevins]

Damn you Chris - I was gonna post MADRILENE. I had ELUSIONS as an equaller in the round after and lots of other nice equallers which I won't bore you with. One question: Do these ten points for the extra conundrum count towards Stephen's points total? Extra conundrums don't usually count but I thought that's when you were like 10 behind then won by 10 (so you scored 20 points and 10 of those didn't count).

I addressed my opinion on this in the recaps section, but I agree, it shouldn't be counted.

Why did you say "I agree" - I didn't state my preference.

No, and he's not the Tony Robinson from Blackadder either

Yeh, but you thought something, and I agreed with your thought.

[Brian Moore]

Interesting game, even if DC did have a fairly easy ride. But was also surprised about the DC miss of ENFORCES. Thought I must have made a mistake, as usual.

Stephen has spoilt the master criminal look though with the amazingly quick beard growth (wow, not even a weekend for it ... he must get through some razor blades when he does shave) and smiling. It looks like he's still really nervous though.

Not so amazingly quick; there was a gap of nearly a month between the recording of Thursday's show and this one. It might account for the nerves too I suppose.

I should have given a wink ... I had actually guessed that it was week's gap, though I haven't studied beard growth rates.

Interesting to see Tim Roth's biography - he seems to specialise in master criminals. Probably cold-hearted ones.

I'm almost certain that only your score after 15 rounds counts towards your overall total. I wouldn't worry as he's not going to beat your total either way.

Damian stated the exact same thing in a previous post.
