So, we enter the final phase of week 13 of Series 62 Mk.2, with Graham Hill lucky to escape defeat from Emma Foster yesterday, but can he make it a magnificent 7 today

Join Mike later to find out.

Kick in the teeth for Damian there! I won't be surprised if Susie gets fired - it was probably wont to do.

Not exactly a beater or an equaller, but HORNIES in Round 3

R6 MULETAS, TAMALES
R7 GRIKE

1st Numbers Alt.: 50 + 75 + (100 / 25) - (8 - 7) = 128

They had GROOMED Joseph!

What words did DC Get in Round 6, as my TV gave up on me until the middle of round 7?

I have the subtitles on my TV - and since when did "Suzie Dent" exist?

DAFTEST in round 9 as an equaller.

A few thoughts

DROWSIER in the ROWDIES round, only saw it after the time. I used to do 4 large when I was on the show, but I don't practise at all now. One tip is to avoid doing 100+25 for 125 and you can't get anything out of 75 and 50, so do 75+50+7-100/25 = 128 (much easier). Knowing that 75/50 = 1.5 can be useful, as long as you multiply the 75 by an even number you can divide by 50.

Are you sure there were two Rs in the selection? Might just be me.

BONESETS R11, could have had BOTANISES had a final I been picked.

R12 OUTWENT (I don't think anyone said it)

YES MARY!!!!

Don't know if it was mentioned but I think Graham is 5th seed now.

Yep.

What timezone are you lot on? You seem to have posted all this by 3.00pm, and the show isn't on until 10 past.

Or are you just psychic? If so please share tomorrow's winning lottery numbers with us....

I think you're still on GMT, Keith!(rather than BST)

I have a doubt, actually.

Saw most of Graham's games. His numbers let him down quite a lot, I thought all three numbers games today were quite easy. To say I don't practise four from the top anymore I was surprised about being able to beat Graham on most games. I can forgive someone who doesn't practise not getting that sort of 128 game, but I expect someone who practises to get it.

On reflection, good game today. Not great or amazing, but above average. The scores were close and there were some good spots.
