Re: 63
From what I've got from people talking on Apterous, we've possibly got Scott Gillies, but he's actually busy recording at the moment, but I believe he can't win enough to be in the Series 62 finals, so assuming he wins all his games, he'd carry over into Series 63. No guarantee obviously.
Jonathan Wynn is recording in 3 weeks time. I also believe that Eoin Monaghan, Edward McCullagh and even Dale Levell might have done auditions, or are about to do some.
With all those in the frame, that sounds like a good series.

Is Dale Levell better now than when Chris/Craig/Kirk etc were when they went on?

Re: 63
He is near that levell. Kirk has always been good, so it's no accident that he's the only player to hit a perfect game. Craig was always good too. Chris became good and he is the only person for whom, I think, your question makes sense.Douglas Wilson wrote:Is Dale Levell better now than when Chris/Craig/Kirk etc were when they went on?

Re: 63
Maybe you haven't understood the question David. I simply mean is the levell Dale is at now higher/lower/about the same than when the three afore mentioned (the best three players of the recent era) first went on the show?

Re: 63
Of course I have you fucking idiot. I am saying in a polite way that he isn't but now you make me be all direct and make it clear that Dale is probably the worst ever potential Countdown contestant there ever was/is/will be. He'll get beat by a dyslexic Granny, miss RELATIONS two rounds in a row, urinate in his pants followed by defecation, get so embarrassed that he regresses to animal state and jumps around the studio smearing his faeces around the wall and on the faces of the families of other contenders.Douglas Wilson wrote:Maybe you haven't understood the question David.

Not necessarily. I did stress:Innis Carson wrote:Oh cool, is it actually confirmed now that Dale's going on the show? Didn't seem like he wanted to last time I spoke to him about it.
It could easily just be idle rumour.Eoin Monaghan, Edward McCullagh and even Dale Levell might have done auditions, or are about to do some.
If any of the above haven't or aren't doing auditions, please say.

Re: 63
Yeah James is bull-shitting. He made it fairly clear to me, last time we played, that he didn't think his numbers game was strong enough yet. Though having played him a few times I think his numbers game is fine but I suppose when ever he feels comfortable applying should dictate when he does so.Innis Carson wrote:Oh cool, is it actually confirmed now that Dale's going on the show?

'Interestingly' we could have the same situation as we've had in the last two series with a player winning 4 games, having to step down for the finals, winning their 5th, losing their 6th and then spending the whole series hanging on to a top 8 place!

Re: 63
Scott Gillies should become an octochamp though, he's got quite a few perfect games under his belt on here and is a good number's merchant too.Douglas Wilson wrote:Craig said in the finals thread he starts 4 shows before the finals.James Robinson wrote:From what I've got from people talking on Apterous, we've possibly got Scott Gillies, but he's actually busy recording at the moment, but I believe he can't win enough to be in the Series 62 finals, so assuming he wins all his games, he'd carry over into Series 63.

Oh goodie, massive spoilers. So much for keeping my filming date a secret, I'm not gonna say it here as it will only give away more spoilers, which I do not want to do.
How the hell did you come across this James? I wanted this to be a secret, and now you've told everyone.

Re: 63
I don't really see how posting links like that help anyone. This stuff isn't supposed to be known* so why spread it around? And no matter how many spoiler warnings you put around it people will inevitably give away spoilers in their replies.
Edit: *Not to mention that people often like to keep their broadcast date(s) secret, too.

And Eoin, you're busted-ish.
Also, I don't think Eoin wants people to know when he is on, so could you please removes the link until he comes on the show or something. I've not looked at the article myself because I dont want mega spoilers and I respect Eoins wish of not wanting ppl to know when he is on.
