Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.
So, we now march into March, finally with an octochamp in the bag in the form of Andy Naylor, even though our own Martin Thompson, was literally a second (or a possible Hansford) away from stopping that
So, today we have 2 new contestants in the chairs. Will either of them emulate Andy
Gloria Hunniford is back in DC for her 10th stint this week.

Yeah, would've been well nice, and we'd have had a 9 the letters round before if Sean went for the vowel to bring out the E for RANDOMISE/ROMANISED........
1st Numbers Alt.: (((8 x 3) - 7) x 50) - (5 - 1) = 846
2nd Numbers Alt.: (100 x 8) - ((10 - 1) x (3 + 2)) = 755
3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 - (50 / 25)) x 4) - 7 = 385
Might have been easier for the contestants to answer the number of spoonfuls they have of sugar a day if they'd known what size spoon, Dr. Hunniford! And just as I thought I was being healthy with eating so many grapes. Oh well - that should save some money then!

Yeah, that whole segment irked me. I hate those kind of "go on, have a guess" interactions where you don't actually care what the guesses are and, as you say, you weren't given enough information anyway. Plus I was only really half listening but what I did hear sounded like fad-of-the-moment type advice anyway which several medical professionals would probably disagree with, if not now, then next week when some other study is done.

There was a Horizon on fat v sugar recently, and one thing it definitely didn't conclude is that sugar is the new evil.
