Road trip.

Haha Corby wins! On a related note I'm sure he'll at least make the semis

For those people who look for such signs, of the four octochamps so far this series, three of them began their runs with programmes which were transmitted on Mondays, even though not all of those first games were the first to be recorded on a day.

Who is Jimmy Gough & why should we get excited?

How dare you?!

I reckon he's going to make me forget about Kirk Bevins.

He's this guy who played like ten million games of Apterous and went from being utterly shit to really good within just a few months. So this is the first time we'll be seeing a pure-bred Apterite in action (Kirk was already quite good before Apterous come out), and that's pretty exciting. Also he's just generally a nice guy and we like having one of our own on the show.

Who is Kirk Bevins & why should we know him in the first place?

Airdrop was there in rd 3 I think. Cracking game so far.

Haha, Jimmy sucks, PARADOR.

ZOMG we have soooo much in common! We're both from East Sussex, we both support Chelsea...

Where do you live? Make sure you are alone.

Steve Davies is ace.

Kai Laddiman, the world's first reverse internet paedophile.

Is Jimmy on max after the first break? (I don't think DC has offered anything extra at least)
If so, I'm on a max game too.

I think Jimmy's great. He once said I was the best thing that happened to this forum, and I'll worship him forever for saying that.

He missed AIRDROP and PARADOR so he's one off I think.

And me

The combination of Jimmy's debut and the first day of filming in Manchester must make this one of the most epic days in Countdown history.

I think Jimmy's OK. He said nobody gives a shit about me. I disliked him for about ten minutes for saying that.

HOAGIES for 7 in round 12.

As well as Micra man being on Eggheads

Ooh - thanks for the reminder.

Impressive stuff. The champion certainly played well and I hope he's still in with a chance of making the top eight.

Woooo. I was at college so I missed it but I don't think I'd want to watch myself anyway (I'm weird like that). I was really excited to know how you thought I did, so thanks for all the comments. I convinced myself that I'd ended up looking like a dick but (thankfully) nobody has said that yet and also my Dad said he thought I came across as smug

Everybody I've spoken to has been really excited, so yeah, totally enjoying my 5 minutes of fame.

I have a tendency to say a lot of stupid stuff on the Internet so please don't hate me for it.


WOOOOOO!

Anything but, mate, you seemed almost apologetic at times. Awesome stuff!

Paul Howe wrote:I reckon he's going to make me forget about Kirk Bevins.

Great debut Jimmy. Let's have more of the same please. I love the conundrum where you offered different pronunciations - nice.

Jimmy Gough wrote:I have a tendency to say a lot of stupid stuff on the Internet

I believe you've just defined "tautology".

Well done Jimmy, nice debut, you should watch it if you can, you came across really well on the telly

Awesome debut Jimmy, nice one. Look forward to tomorrow!

Good debut, scoring in every round I believe.

Not a fan of the shirt though.

Thought Steve Davies came across as a bit of a tit also.

Yeah I thought that too but I've heard good things about him so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Just watched the program properly having read the recap earlier - really good stuff, both contestants coming across really well and Jimmy clearly just exuding joy at being on the program. Great episode. Excited about tomorrow now too.

I, like many on here am a snooker fan and he is a very good pundit on that and when I heard he was on it thought he would be suitable. Disapointed today but we'l see how the rest of the week pans out.

I don't know!

Excellent debut Jimmy, I went out of my way to record it and can't say I was disappointed. Hopefully much more to come!

I thought Steve Davis was pretty decent, his "I had cottled too" line made me laugh but I guess it may have sounded overly harsh to some ears.

Well done Jimmy. Just finished watching the programme over dinner. You seemed relaxed, but definitely not smug. Great performance. I now look forward to part 2.

Very good performance Jimmy.
You were good to watch.
Your previous avatar misled me.
I now know that you are pleasingly gentle.

That's what I thought when I met him too . Thoroughly nice guy.

Can't add much to what's already been said. A seemingly nerveless debut against a solid player. Really pleased for you mate - hope you can keep it up.

Well done guy. Epic first win. Keep up the form and let me think... 115 x 8... hmmm, add a few more points for some 9s that will shurely be available and you may even displace Kirk as number 1 seed! Can't wait for tomorrow's show but it will have to wait cos I'm gonna Manchester with RP. Once again congrats, and any zoo would do well to have you

Very very good debut, well done Jimmy. Maybe the finals won't be the Bevins whitewash I was expecting...

Great Stuff. Until round 11 or something I Would have declared exactly the same words/solution as you for every single round! I really dont think you came across as smug either.

I like Steve Davis in DC.

Gamerromp

Yes - great debut Jimmy.

Hopefully, you'll go on a good run.

Well played Jimmy, good ton debut. You look a bit like that actor in The Untouchables, you know - that killer bloke who got thrown from the top of the building.

ps. good to see snooker legend Steve Davis make his Countdown dictionary corner debut.

Dammit that domain is filtered as "Sex" by my work firewall and I CAN'T WAIT until I get home. HELP?

Rehosted on tinypic, just for you Vikash

I've just caught up with your game on my Sky Plus Box Jimmy, due to my Recap duties.

What a great start. I thought you came across as a great guy and echo everything else that has been said about you and can't wait to see what develops over the next week or so.

I must admit I thought Steve Davis came across as a really ncie guy (as he does on commentary). Funny how we all hated him when he was knocking out World Championships nineteen to the dozen. How times change.

Ta mate! Aah, so delectable... swoon...

I reckon we should declare this day International Countdown Day (Bank Holiday).

Kai Laddiman wrote:I reckon we should declare this day International Countdown Day (Bank Holiday).

Any reason why this day in particular (apart from the fact that it was Jimmys debut)? Or do you just want an extra day off school...

It was the first day of Manchester, the day Innis recorded and the day Micra Man was on Eggheads. But otherwise, just for the holiday.
