Post-mortem spoiler thread, I some how must have closed out the tab before the topic got posted.
Fire away.

Round 3: Thought I heard guest John Inverdale give the word BOREDOM when there was only one O in the selection. I may have misheard.
Round 6: Both contestants get their words disallowed
Both are OK in Scrabble.
Round 8: Misheard, did David offer LEPEROUS? Need he risk it when opponent declared 5 and LEPROUS was safer? SLEEPOUT/OUTSLEEP One is good the other not !!
Round 13: CRABWISE was good not had time to check if WISEACRE was OK too!! Does BEWARE really take an S?

NOTECARD in round 7 for a beater. Also in round 3, DC declared BOREDOM but there was only one O! I had BEDSORE in that round.
Good luck for octochampdom tomorrow, David!

No, you didn't mishear, Mauro.
So, probably for the first time in
Countdown's history, we had a letters round with no legal words given in it by anybody
FUNDIES/FUSTIAN in round 2, OUTLET/POTFUL in round 4, RELLIES in round 6 and AWAITS/PIETAS in round 9.
1st Numbers Alt.: (((7 x 10) + 10) x 5) - (8 - 3) =
395
2nd Numbers Alt.: (6 x 100) - (7 x 4) + 10 + 5 =
587
3rd Numbers Alt.: (((75 x 3) - 10) x 2) + 7 + 2 =
439

It posted fine, but in the recap thread.

Neither SLEEPOUT or OUTSLEEP are in. EELPOUTS is.

BOREDOM appropriate for John Inverdale, though, which is probably why he thought it was OK.

It wasn't edited out so presumably the production team didn't spot it either.
Just a thought: I understand this week's episodes were recorded two weeks ago meaning it may have been a rush job to get it to C4 on time and consequently overlooked.

I should have added SLEEPOUT is in, but it is hyphenated in OED3.
