Spoilers For Monday September 5th 2016

Post by James Robinson »

Well, today could be the beginning of a joyous moment, and also a bit of a sad one too...

Martin Hurst is on for his 8th win today, which will more than likely propel him to #1 on the rankings....

But, unfortunately, there are only 3 shows of Countdown this week, and NONE at all next week, due to Channel 4's blanket coverage of the Rio Paralympics. :shock: :o

Michael Whitehall returns to DC this week too.

Join Sean for the recap later. :D :D :D

Thanks guys,

Amazing experience (much better than my flunked attempt in 1997!) and although I probably should have been nudging a 900 total watching it back again, I'll definitely take 8 wins out of 8 every day of the week! :)

You were great fun throughout, Martin. My mum says I should take some credit, since you attended CoStAl just before you recorded. :mrgreen:

I hope you do well in the finals, Martin. You'd be a worthy winner. ;) :) :D

Thanks James - yes, the experience of playing live at the St Albans event definitely helped - I would certainly recommend attending a FOCAL event (if you can) as an important part of preparation to anyone going on the show in the future :) as well as a few hundred hours on Apterous of course ;)

Was Owen's performance the lowest-scoring 15-rounder to have included a nine?
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.
