So, it's the bank holiday, but unfortunately the horses are in racing mode on Thursday and Friday, restricting us to 3 episodes this week......., OR IS IT

Well, thanks to undercover work by me and my internal sources, we have managed to find a couple of special episodes which have been dumped in the early morning repeat slot. (There were actually 4 shown during the break for the Cheltenham Festival, but all those were repeats, but these 2 are NEW!!! )

So, as you may have worked out, since it's in the early morning slot, this episode will be shown at 6am, and is a battle between 2 sisters who have previously been on the show (unfortunately, I don't know who, not quite been able to work that out.... ).

The DC guest is Gyles Brandreth, and this episode was recorded during Heather Styles' octorun in mid-2012, so we've waited a while to see this one, but not as much as the other one on Friday, featuring a certain Matt Croy, but more on that on Friday.............

Since there's still a regular episode on Monday, I'll take ownership of the recap.

Is it special spoilers or spoilers for a special?

I'd argue both.

Well, out of looking around for past sisters who had been on the show, I was hoping it would be this game, but it was a very exciting game, bar the slight anti-climax of the conundrum at the end.

PATONCE in round 5, PERIWIG in round 8, DOMINEER in round 10 and ROTARIES in round 11.

2nd Numbers Alt.: ((10 - 7) x 100) + ((10 - 1) x 8) = 372
3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 + 8) x (5 + 1)) - 9 - 4 = 635
4th Numbers Alt.: ((10 + 5) x 25) + (3 x (8 / 4)) = 381

Showboating from Rachel going up to 744 for what was just 93*4=372.

Also, the 8 that Giles was attempting to offer (but no-one bothered spelling) was ROTIFERS, not ROTEEFER, or ROTIEFER.
