Meakin!

3rd numbers was 7×7×7 so 7×(5+2)×(10-3)=343.

Shame he couldn't quite get there! JOYRIDE was a great spot though.

Well done Peter, commiserations to your bald fat opponent.
I think I will have DEWORMING put on my tombstone.
Needless to say I was very nervous but there wasn't an EMISSION from me.

I had a great time and I thank the Countdown Team for having me.
Peter and his parents were great I spoke with them at the hotel.
I will spend the next 10 years practising my numbers in the hope of being asked back

Really entertaining match, every bit as back and forth as the CoC final even if the standard wasn't *quite* as high. Unlucky on the defeat Marc, at least you'll always be able to say you beat Dictionary Corner!

Yeah it made up for missing EMISSION and not spotting some easy 7s in other rounds that I would get all day long at home.

Unlucky, Marc. You gave Peter a good run for his money to open the series.
