Spoilers For Monday November 15th 2010

[James Robinson]

Welcome one and all to the closing stages of Series 63 of Countdown.

Already, this is proving to be one of the greatest series in the show's entire history. But, will we have a finals to match. We'll know in 3 and a half weeks time, but for now, let's get back up to date.

Nicky Miller is our 2-times champion with not too unreasonable scores of 89 and 95 under his belt. Will he make it a hat-trick today

Back in DC, after only being on 8 weeks ago, is comedian Dave Spikey.

Ryan will be around with the recap later.

[Andy Wilson]

Was just after looking this up before Susie said it would have been good. http://www.apterous.org/lexplorer.php?word=bariums
Rachel looks a little too amazing today.

[Graeme Cole]

PACKMEN is a beater in R1.

[Martin Bishop]

DISSOLVE round 4.

[Martin Bishop]

2nd numbers.

((75+(10/5))*9)-100

Also, the challenger today is adorable.

[Josh Hurst]

TOURACO round 11.

[Martin Bishop]

Damn you Nicky, shattering a little girl's dreams!

[Rhys Benjamin]

Oh please.

Not Daves Pikey.

[Ryan Taylor]

Bit of a nightmare has occurred. I'm just doing the recap watching it back on sky plus but then it cut out around round 4 apparently there had been a fucking power cut. ARSE.

So here's what I need if anyone can help:

-DC words from round 4
-First numbers game
-Both contestants declarations
-Both contestans solutions
-Dave Spikey's anecdote

4oD?

[Malcolm James]

When did we last have a female contestant under the age of 18? I remember someone winning 2 or 3 games around about 2003, but I may have missed someone.

Yeah but I have to wait for them to put it up. Wanted to get it done and out the way.

I remember DC suggesting RISSOLE, there might have been other things. The first numbers game was 25, 5, 5, 8, 7, 7, and the target was 331. Nicky declared nothing, Rebekah did (8+5)*25+5+7/7=331.

Don't remember Dave Spikey's anecdote, though. It was a series of jokes. Something to do with the bogeyman.

[Eoin Monaghan]

Oh please.

Not Daves Pikey.

He was the guest during my run is very good, don't see why you dislike him.

Anyway ATHEROMA was a beater in one round I think.

[Michael Wallace]

Yeah but I have to wait for them to put it up. Wanted to get it done and out the way.

Was it not up by then? (It is now, but I only just checked.) Usually they go up almost instantaneously.

[Ryan Taylor]

Yeah I've done it now, cheers. It was up when I checked at 5pm so they must go up, like you say, instantaneously which is pretty sweet. Thought there would be like a few hours delay like iPlayer usually is.

It's weird, it varies from show to show (on both 4oD and iPlayer, in my experience). I often wonder whether there's any reason for it, or if it's just someone not getting around to pressing a button.

[JackHurst]

I've stopped watching the show, but when someone said the challenger was adorable, I thought I'd catch the first 5 minutes on 4oD, and I must say, I was surprised to see two young contestants in one episode. Can't be very often two minors play against each other.

[Gavin Chipper]

I've stopped watching the show

Yeah, too easy isn't it?
