So, we're into another week of Countdown. Well, not quite, because the horses have decided to pester us again, so there's no Friday episode this week.

Jill Hayward is our new champion, after she defeated the fans' favourite, John Gardner on Friday. Will she win a few more shows to make it to the finals

Paul Zenon reamins in DC for the next 2 days, before BBC Breakfast's Bill Turnbull takes over on Wednesday.

Graeme will be around with the recap later on.

Alt first number (9-4)x(100+3)+7+1=523

Why does Susie say "just sixes for us too" when DEFEAT was a darren?

BOINKED as alt to BONKED and BOOKEND.

was ROSARIAN there in the next round ??

Would BITTERER have been OK for round 4?

I thought of RIGOUT for round 13, but I suspect that's hyphenated.

Yup, cost me a max game actually did that.

No BITTERER*, but BATTERER was there. And yup, no RIGOUT* either.

DAEMON in round 1, DIPPIER in round 7 and TORII in round 13.

I kinda wanted Jay to win that for some reason, looked like he was going to at about the round 5 stage but what can you do, at least the COALMEN slip up wasn't fatal in the end (arguably). Let's see how far Jill can get!

BRATTIER in round 4, surprised nobody saw that, after the first seven were out surely people would think BATTIER, then when the R comes out directly after it, you see the 8?
