JR mentioned in his recap it's going to be an interesting series.

Who is going to be on it?

From what I've got from people talking on Apterous, we've possibly got Scott Gillies, but he's actually busy recording at the moment, but I believe he can't win enough to be in the Series 62 finals, so assuming he wins all his games, he'd carry over into Series 63. No guarantee obviously.

Jonathan Wynn is recording in 3 weeks time. I also believe that Eoin Monaghan, Edward McCullagh and even Dale Levell might have done auditions, or are about to do some.

With all those in the frame, that sounds like a good series.

You going to the finals then? Should be awesome.

Loadsa spare tickets, I just called and got some.

Is Dale Levell better now than when Chris/Craig/Kirk etc were when they went on?

Douglas Wilson wrote:Is Dale Levell better now than when Chris/Craig/Kirk etc were when they went on?

He is near that levell. Kirk has always been good, so it's no accident that he's the only player to hit a perfect game. Craig was always good too. Chris became good and he is the only person for whom, I think, your question makes sense.

Maybe you haven't understood the question David. I simply mean is the levell Dale is at now higher/lower/about the same than when the three afore mentioned (the best three players of the recent era) first went on the show?

He's almost certainly better than Kirk when he first went on

I'm gonna send off an application form sometime this week, so I might be in 63.

Of course I have you fucking idiot. I am saying in a polite way that he isn't but now you make me be all direct and make it clear that Dale is probably the worst ever potential Countdown contestant there ever was/is/will be. He'll get beat by a dyslexic Granny, miss RELATIONS two rounds in a row, urinate in his pants followed by defecation, get so embarrassed that he regresses to animal state and jumps around the studio smearing his faeces around the wall and on the faces of the families of other contenders.

a-lol

I might give it a shot now that college is almost out of the way.

Awesome, reminds me of the Carson-Hulme-Davies hype going into series 61, lets hope its another good one!

When are we gonna get some on-screen Hurst action?

Oh cool, is it actually confirmed now that Dale's going on the show? Didn't seem like he wanted to last time I spoke to him about it.

Not necessarily. I did stress:

Eoin Monaghan, Edward McCullagh and even Dale Levell might have done auditions, or are about to do some.

It could easily just be idle rumour.

If any of the above haven't or aren't doing auditions, please say.

Innis Carson wrote:Oh cool, is it actually confirmed now that Dale's going on the show? Didn't seem like he wanted to last time I spoke to him about it.

Yeah James is bull-shitting. He made it fairly clear to me, last time we played, that he didn't think his numbers game was strong enough yet. Though having played him a few times I think his numbers game is fine but I suppose when ever he feels comfortable applying should dictate when he does so.

Craig said in the finals thread he starts 4 shows before the finals.

'Interestingly' we could have the same situation as we've had in the last two series with a player winning 4 games, having to step down for the finals, winning their 5th, losing their 6th and then spending the whole series hanging on to a top 8 place!

Scott Gillies should become an octochamp though, he's got quite a few perfect games under his belt on here and is a good number's merchant too.

Excellent, another good Robinson Recap to look forward to.

Two max games is still pretty good! You've obviously improved because I think I beat you a couple of times in the past!

Just looking at this thread and I may as well tell now, I've already recorded. Got a date and all, but won't say it. Dinos and Marcus already knew this.

Eoin Monaghan wrote:Got a date and all, but won't say it.

Any reason?

I wanna keep it a surprise.

Oh good, spoilers already.

Actually, sorry, I'll get rid of that message, that's why there's a dot there.

Sorry.

Can you edit your post so the quote is gone please?

Thanks.

To anyone that this seems weird too, just be glad you didn't read the original.

Is Peter Crouch in DC.

MEGA SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
Erm....., what.

Oh goodie, massive spoilers. So much for keeping my filming date a secret, I'm not gonna say it here as it will only give away more spoilers, which I do not want to do.

How the hell did you come across this James? I wanted this to be a secret, and now you've told everyone.

I don't really see how posting links like that help anyone. This stuff isn't supposed to be known* so why spread it around? And no matter how many spoiler warnings you put around it people will inevitably give away spoilers in their replies.

Edit: *Not to mention that people often like to keep their broadcast date(s) secret, too.

IAWTP

This is something which could have waited until the day in question

And Eoin, you're busted-ish.

James, do your parents have to keep your presents in a safe at Christmas?

Also, I don't think Eoin wants people to know when he is on, so could you please removes the link until he comes on the show or something. I've not looked at the article myself because I dont want mega spoilers and I respect Eoins wish of not wanting ppl to know when he is on.

Yeah massive spoilers. Although I do think that articles funny as fuck!

You might want to edit the link out of your own post, too...

Yeah, ironically (?) you've actually made the spoiler worse by revealing the end of the URL as it contains the headline of the article.

Haha, good spot - I was briefly worried I was going to proven wrong on this one:

With my old trick of typing "Countdown" into Google. It's amazing what you find by doing the simplest of things.

I was actually expecting the person in question to be someone else, so was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be you.

Done. Although you might want to ask Jack to remove the link he copied from me in the first place as well.

[Like] For doing the decent thing Jack Hurst take note

You know you can get google to just email you news stories featuring certain search terms? I have one set up for raccoon to keep me on top of all the latest raccoony news.

Latest story: wet raccoon is wet.

Thanks, and a Like for appreciation.

Haha! That raccoon is standing up! And wet.

So hang on, was this whole thing just a plan by James to get Likes?

You've picked up three likes to his two, so you were clearly in on it all along too. I've lost so much respect for you.
