Re: Welcome! - Post here first
I think it's a shame that they don't ask if a member of the audience knows the conundrum, when it's not guessed by the contestants, they used to win a mug for that, I believe?
Maybe it's the second cost-cutting move (After getting rid of carol, of course!)

Hi. My name is Jan Clark and I had the honour of being a contestant on the last series that Richard Whiteley presided over. I lost on a crucual conundrum to a future octochamp (Judith) having had a 9-letter word disallowed. Should have stuck with the 8! Am really enjoying reading all the chat. To hopeful future contestants: don't be disheartened if you fail an audition. It took me 3 attempts, and was definitey worth the anguish!
Re: Welcome! - Post here first
Hi folks, I'm Nicky. I used to watch Countdown in the late 80s and early 90s after school with my mum. I'd leave the room when the conundrum was on, because I never got it in time and this was before videos, so there was never the option to pause!
I rediscovered the show when I had my son. (I needed the TV on to keep myself awake when feeding him in the early hours - there isn't a whole lot of U-rated TV on at that time, and I quickly got hooked again.) One of his very first words was 'clock', pointing excitedly at the opening credits. He doesn't manage to say the 'l' sound though.

Still, people should really do an exhaustive check first (to see if their opinion has already been aired elsewhere) before expressing themselves... right Charlie?

Have you ever visited the BBC "Points of View" forum? Posters are always opening new posts about the same programme! Scrolling down takes ages, though (It's a very busy forum) and it's about all TV- not just BBC (Quite a few Countdown Threads on it)

It's not so much that is has been previously mentioned (lots of things come up several times) but that the cool clique that have been on Countdown understand how the show works and why the change was made and any questioning of it needs to be mocked in some way.

I think if you're going to accompany your opinion with snarky remarks about cost-cutting then you should make sure you know what you're talking about. Still I guess it's easier to believe in THE CLIQUE than to consider that maybe people who know what they're talking about would just arrive at the same conclusion.Gavin Chipper wrote:It's not so much that is has been previously mentioned (lots of things come up several times) but that the cool clique that have been on Countdown understand how the show works and why the change was made and any questioning of it needs to be mocked in some way.

The clique comment was a sort of joke as I've seen others bring it up before, but I do think that it's quite reasonable for someone not in the know to wonder why they don't do it any more without being yawned at.

There are so many posts here it's almost impossible to ensure you don't say something that hasn't already been said, but surely I remember one of the not-a-clique-at-all-goodness-me-no saying that the audience shot was difficult to do, mikes a problem, whatever. That sounds like cost-cutting to me.

Maybe it just didn't add enough to the programme to be worth the effort? Obviously it's great for some old biddy to win some crockery and to be smug on national telly, but when it comes down to it, haven't most of us switched off or turned over to see if Captain Caveman is on the other side?

Hello.
I'm 26 and a life-long Countdown fan. I have long desired to appear on the show, but have always argued myself out of applying. I intend to join apterous to gauge my skills. Perhaps I shall this very eve.
I am unemployed. Would this work against me in the application process? It seems to me that there are far fewer unemployed people on television than there used to be, and I naturally put this down to some kind of television-sanitising conspiracy (although it may be that there were more intelligent people out of work under the Tories). (Note to self: You don't make friends with politics). I hope to return to university in the autumn to undertake a Masters.
Otherwise, I am a noise musician, (amateur) Scrabble enthusiast, and a reader.
Peace out.

I was unemployed when I was on, and so was one of my opponents. So I don't think it's a massive problem. Re: Gevin and David's points, I think they're right that people do 'pile in' a bit quicker than they ought to do, but still that's basically forums for you! And it's fairly obvious to me that some people come here just to wind other people up, but they tend to leave quite quickly as well.

Re: Welcome! - Post here first
The clues are in the panel to the left - the name's there, and the thing stuck on the front of my face, below my nose, is a trumpet. I play it and teach it. I've also done things academic in music, and in my life as a herdsman became qualified to do artificial insemination (AI) on cows. I never worked out why they made a film about it.
I have a confession to make - I always practise the trumpet while watching Countdown. I do all the boring routine stuff while I watch, and encourage my pupils to do the same; it's good brain-training, and makes the routine enjoyable. Most of my pupils think I'm odd for playing scales and watching Countdown at the same time, but I don't care. They're probably right, anyway.

I think there will be plenty of other unemployed people on Countdown in the coming months...
And it IS a pity about the mug. Wouldn't it be great to be the one to get it? "The young lady in the back, in the green top?" And the camera panning in, as with a quavering (but smug) voice I announce "Grumpiest", or whatever?

Great to be welcomed to this new forum. I have watched Countdown since the beginning on and off. There's a couple of things about new version that I would like to raise. Firstly I don't think there is such a good rapport between Rachel and Jeff but this may grow. Also it would be helpful if the words that contestants and Susie Dent come up with are spelled out. As you get older you can miss the word or want to check the spelling.

Susan: I can't really say much as I don't watch it as often as I should, but in the episode I've watched I've noticed a rapport growing between them- Jeff asks Rachel about football, Rachel insults him and calls him old (indirectly! ), and I can only see it getting better.

Well it is a shame..Never mind "Yawn"..I for one can't be bothered to read through all of the previous posts to see whether something has been said before.
We have never seen the audience in this new series. Is there one?
I still think it is a shame too, that we don't see the word after it has been said bcontestants. I don't hear them if they mumble, so don't get the word quite often these days. It is important too I think for the younger viewers to see the word displayed. Is Rachel not quick enough?
Sits back and waits for "Yawn".
