Team Countdown/apterous

[Douglas Wilson]

A bit of a fun thread whilst we're deprived of the televised show.

If you had to make a team to play Countdown who would you have in it. You're allowed yourself and two others but the twist is once a player has been picked (unless it's yourself) then they can't be picked again.

For example if the first person picked Kirk then nobody else other than Kirk himself would be able to pick him.

To be eligable they have to have been on the show (winner or loser at any point in history) or have played on apterous.

[Marc Meakin]

Scott Philips, Damian Edie and Me.
(Sorry keep changing my mind)

[Douglas Wilson]

Yourself plus two others Marc.

Sorry my edit makes this post redundant.

[Jon Corby]

Me, Clare Sudbery and Kate Richardson.

[D Eadie]

I'd choose Jon Corby and Chris Corby, just to feel attractive for once.

[Howard Somerset]

Me, Pauline Huggins, Jeffrey Hansford.

I'd need all the help I could get, no matter by what means it was obtained.

It's Countdown, not bloody Crimewatch.

[Ralph Gillions]

Me and Jeffrey Burgin of course. And Craig Chittenden.
But I don't think I am eligible. Nice thought though.

[James Robinson]

I'd pick the 3 best recappers at the moment.

Myself, Dinos Sfyris & Mike Brown.

[Matthew Green]

Kai Laddiman and Alec Rivers.

I'll be expecting Oliver to complain soon as well.

[Ben Wilson]

Me, Stewart Holden & Craig Beevers, just to be Scrabbly and elite, even if they are better than me at both games (hasn't stopped me from beating them before though ).

[Jon O'Neill]

Me, Ryan Taylor and Scott Mearns.

[Ben Hunter]

I don't get it, what does the team do once it's been formed? Just walk around in a gang doing stuff together?

[Matt Morrison]

I don't get it, what does the team do once it's been formed? Just walk around in a gang doing stuff together?

In which case I'm going me, Ben Hunter, and Daniel O'Dowd.

[Ralph Gillions]

I hope so. Naa, don't have to walk all the time surely.

[Gavin Chipper]

Me, Paul Gallen and Junaid Mubeen. Paul Gallen was pretty much God in the CofC and Junaid will mop up all the numbers rounds. I'll sit back and take the glory.

[tomrowell]

Myself, Kirk, Jason Larsen. Team bonding required

[Ben Hunter]

Team Dent / Morrison / Brittain / Hunter took on two of the greats of the game in some team specials (everyone consented), here's how it went:

Us 102 - 101 Kirk
Us 84 - 118 Kirk
Us 106 - 99 Innis
Us 74 - 127 Innis
Us 92 - 70 Innis

[Jimmy Gough]

RB totally carried your team.

[Ben Hunter]

RB totally carried your team.

You'd be surprised.

[Philip Jarvis]

Since he hasn't been mentioned, can I suggest Charlie Reams sandwiched between Maria Martin and Reuben Kay.

[Ben Wilson]

Charlie, Damian & Chris Wills.

[Ian Dent]

RB totally carried your team.

It was remarkable.

[Helen Andrews]

I'll be boring and take Chris Davies and Andrew Hulme, please.

[David O'Donnell]

I'll have Harvey Freeman and Mark Nyman.

[Kevin Davis]

Series 62 Solidarity Team:

(damn, Craig's been taken)

Myself, Oliver, and Raheel Mirza.

[JackHurst]

Me, Josh and then anyone who doesnt feel awkward about being grouped with us.

[Charlie Reams]

Me, Josh and then anyone who doesnt feel awkward about being grouped with us.

Team of two then.

[Neil Zussman]

Me, Josh and then anyone who doesnt feel awkward about being grouped with us.

Am I the only one who misread the antipenultimate word as 'groped'?
