Haha. Yes, although nine-rounders should be substantially quicker to 'cap and we're not that far away from the 50% mark, which is quite exciting!James Robinson wrote:They thought that they'd recapped it all, but they hadn't even scratched the surface![]()

In reverse order: I have virtually every show from the beginning of Series 8 onwards, the finals of Series 7, all of Series 4 to 6, most of Series 3 and most of the finals of Series 2. There are a few gaps where I missed episodes due to power failure (or me failure) and because I had no VCR until the end of 1990, eps before that rely on audio recordings when I wasn't at home at transmission time (so they are often without conundrum scrambles and you may find a few M's and N's swapped over, etc., and a few misspelled contestant names). Should be enough to keep you going until you go mad, James!James Robinson wrote:Incidentally, how many more series do you have, Mike

No matter.
So what did you use? You must have had have someone record it for you?Mike Brown wrote:I know, we all have skeletons in our cupboards...Andy Wilson wrote:You used to audio record countdown before you had a VCR?![]()
A timer plug? I used to record all sorts of crap off the radio using a plug-in timer back in the 80s.Andy Wilson wrote:So what did you use?

JHC Andy, what is this? 101 questions?!Andy Wilson wrote:How did that work then?
Jim is spot on with his timer plug answer, although occasionally a human did press the record button.Andy Wilson wrote:So what did you use? You must have had have someone record it for you?
