Finally, Countdown is back on the box! Everyone knows what to do...

I wonder if Des and Carol will be wearing green. I don't think Carol would suit green.

SWINGED Not sure if I'd have risked it though

HEMIOLA

HEMIOLA.

I think today's challenger Joe is a member of this group, so well done to him for winning today's game.

Anyone think John Sargeant/Sergeant looks a bit like Jo Brand?

He is. Well done Joseph on a nice win. Pity you never got a century but then LIFEBLOOD was a tricky conundrum (for some reason I thought it was BLOODLIFE ).

Thanks guys. I hope no-one saw my smiles as being smug, because they weren't. I was just genuinely thoroughly enjoying myself

It all goes to pot soon though!

Thought you came across rather well actually. Enjoy the fame while it lasts!

ATONIES was another beater. I just watched this on 4+1. Excellent debut young Joe. I really struggled against you in the first two parts, I missed CREDITOR/DIRECTOR/RHETORIC and am absolutely gutted that I missed HEMIOLA (a word I had in my heats). Well done, sir! I am loving the four large selection by the way.

Edit: I got today's conundrum once I ruled out that it didn't end in -FIED.

Edit 2: I watched today's show with most of my family (it is St. Paddy's day after all!) and they thought you were great too, Joe.

Ahh, I didn't know it was you Joe. Well done, an impressive win.

They didn't mention it was St. Patrick's Day, did they? And they missed Irish word of the day BLARNEY too!

Yeah excellent game joe Well impressed mate

No they didn't and they normally do mention saint days etc. At the time of the recording they would've known it was St. Patrick's Day surely? or maybe because of the Cheltenham Festival, the recordings are behind in date?

Again, thanks for the comments. My Mum just said "It's quite something to be congratulated by David O'Donnell". I'm rooting for you in this series, David.

Just don't slaughter me for all the mistakes I make in tomorrow's game. I know the standard's high on this forum

Don't tell us that! Or do you just mean about enjoying yourself?

Aww Joe you're so cute!

Great performance mate, shame about the bastard-hard conundrum spoiling the century you deserved. (I would've buzzed on 29 secs with FLOODIBLE by the way )

Can I see a picture of your mum?

the lady who got the conundrum in the audience will be on as a contestant at the start of april as she was there when i was there, her name was susan something

You're right. You never see them together.
