Countdown Lookalikes?
We've had quite a few famous Countdown lookalikes. List your lookalikes here.
I'll start:
Susie Dent = actress Jennifer Garner
Damian Eadie = comedian Stewart Lee
Chris Wills = Tony Blair
Neil Zussman = legendary kids tv presenter Fred Harris
Jo Brand = John Sergeant
Charlie Reams = some famous footballer whose name I can't recall
p.s only a bit of fun folks.

Some Snooker relations:
Jon Corby - Ronnie O'Sullivan (both flawed by their genius)
DoD - John Higgins
The following has also been suggested by a few people

I'd be happy to make loads more of these, it's just hard to find decent-sized pictures of Countdown people.
So by all means point me in the right direction. I tried to find the thread of CoC photos by searching for "photobucket" but only found pictures of sexy golfers that Corby had posted.

Re: Countdown Lookalikes?
Since you were quite dismissive of the Roman Abramovich thing , I feel entitled to say that I don't see the Susie Dent vs. Jennifer Garner one at all. They've got quite similar hair, and ears, I suppose. But that does not a lookalike make.

I can definitely see this. Chris resembles Ed Byrne superficially (long hair, glasses, pale complexion etc) but his underlying features look scarily like O'Grady's.Mike Brailsford wrote:Chris Davies reminds me of Paul O'Grady facially and vocally.

Re: Countdown Lookalikes?
I'd just like to thank everyone on Chris's behalf for drawing his attention to what people had been writing about him on digitalSpy, which he would otherwise have been completely unaware of. He's probably been pretty excited what with his awesome octochamp run just finishing being broadcast on national TV, which I guess is why he forgot to do it himself.

Re: Countdown Lookalikes?
I saw a guy who looked like Jack Hurst standing under the archway at my work smoking this morning. I have never seen anybody who looks like him before, so I had to do a double take. He must have thought I was very very odd looking at him like that!
No picture I'm afraid. That would have been just a step too far.

Re: Countdown Lookalikes?
I think you should draw a picture of what the guy looked like, then beside it draw a picture of Jack (but you must do this from memory, you're not allowed to copy a picture of Jack off the internet or lure Jack round your house for a spot of life drawing). Then we can compare the likenesses of the mystery man and Mr. Hurst and decide if they really are lookalikes, and also laugh at your rubbish drawing skillz (unless of course you're an accomplished artist in which case you will have made me look a fool damn you).Derek Hazell wrote:I saw a guy who looked like Jack Hurst standing under the archway at my work smoking this morning.

I've had to watch yesterday's game twice as I couldn't concentrate on the letters and numbers first time through. However, leaving aside the question of whether Alex Johnston may have unseated Andrew Laycock from the title of Sexiest Contestant of All Time, I wonder if anyone else was as troublingly stimulated as I was by a rather extraordinary resemblance:
