Here's what I noted down in Excel, given that nobody seems to have watched the show today going by the lack of a spoiler thread. Post your retrospective beaters here, and laugh at my rubbish notes whilst you're at it.

Hilary: Champion
Steve Elcock: Challenger: From York, a pub manager (aka landlord), lives with partner and 9 children (5 his), Everton fan - dreams of seeing them win the Prem and England win the World Cup, cue DesO to say the obvious...
DC: Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver

Pleased with myself in round 11.I got rowdiest but brought down te earth when DC got the nine with drowsiest.
Round 13 an equaliser with Hustles.

Had DIMETER as an equaller in round 2.
Found the rather appropriate WORDIEST in round 11, but didn't see DROWSIEST.

PALATES to equal DC in round 8.

When I saw the challenger today I recognised him straight away. I thought it was because he'd been on before but it turns out he's a landlord from York. I'm now trying to think of which pub I've seen him in - I get to see loads when on the darts circuit. I have an idea and I'll keep my eye out.

I had a DC beater in round 3 with SOLATIUM. In Fell Corner, I missed a few things today including 2 numbers. I'm slipping.

I had IMPASTO/TOPSAIL, RECITED, SPATULA, and HUSTLES as other equallers but missed SOLATIUM.
