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.

Spoilers for Friday 9th February 2018 (Series 78, Prelim 24)

Post by Johnny Canuck »

Today's challenger said he'd been on before, but there is no record of a John Owens on the wiki; however, a Jon Owens appeared in Series 22 (roughly 25 years ago) and won one game, which he said he had. Going to move Jon's page to the spelling "John" and add redirects, but please let me know immediately if anyone sees this and is aware this isn't him.
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.

I've uploaded two photos of him, one in 1991 and one today, the facial apperance looks nearly identical so I'm going to say yes, it's the same person. Thanks a bunch to that uploader on YouTube who posts vintage Countdown Episodes (Mostly from 1991 though...)

(P.S. Just got off a plane when Countdown was airing, am very tired now due to travelling all day long...)

Got 404 too, surprised she missed it. Though she is only human I guess.

Same. It's still significantly more frequent that she gets one I've missed than vice versa though.
