I always look forward to Joe and his insane antics. I think Jon let Sean win in the last one...he didn't make any attempt at all. Loved his cook-book routine though! Has Gino DeCampo ever been on it yet? Should be a laugh!:)

I think Jon planned on doing what he has been doing for the past many, that being to not bother with the letters, do the numbers and still win. By the time he realised the gal REALLY wanted to win and was good, well it was too late.
I've mentioned before that it's not as good when people don't try and some have said if I want a quiz then I should watch proper Countdown but I think if they did treat the quiz seriously they can still have fun with it.
Josie's performance wasn't a surprise if you saw her on Celebrity Fifteen to One the other week, although it requires a different skill set she is clearly a quiz geek.
Rachel's colour-changing dress was quite interesting.
They cut out a bit where Rachel played noughts and crosses against Jimmy using her dress and one where she drew a letter on her dress and stood at the side of the letter board. Although, I'm not surprised they edited quite a few sections out as they did around 2 hours of filming, if it went out unedited it would have been 10 o'clock before you got the first letters game.

If your there when they filming it's quite obvious Jon comes in with a plan and nothing other people do changes that. He was carrying on with food related jokes long after the audience had grown tired of them. Also when he first entered the studio the warm up guy pointed out there was someone who looked just like him in the audience and he didn't seem to care, probably because he'd already based his routine on looking like Gino D'Campo.
On the other hand Jimmy and Sean were a lot more responsive to both the audience and the other people taking part in the show.
Jimmy Carr hosts as team captains Sean Lock and Jon Richardson are joined by Jason Manford and Stephen Mangan. Tim Key and Joe Wilkinson assist Susie Dent and Rachel Riley
I agree. What is Joe Wilkinson for? Love the forced "isn't this hilarious" smiles from the likes of Jon Richardson, who obviously don't find it remotely amusing.

You are forgetting top man Lee Mack.
I was there when that episode was filmed and Josie left the studio in the jacket.

Oh stop mithering woman
Northern words are real words too..
Have to agree on this. The first half of the show without him is much better. He's just not needed there.
