I fast-forwarded through it. I had been prepared to like David O'Doherty but quickly found his humour very weak. That left me with a conundrum, because he was paired with Susie Dent, but she wasn't enough to keep me watching.

Ross had two of the longest words.
Then pair him with Lock so that the team has a slight chance of winning.

There's a show on Dave tonight called 24 Hours to Go Broke.
This episode is with Rachel Riley and Joe Wilkinson if anyone wants to see how they gel away from the countdown studio.

People have commented that they don't think Rachel likes him.
It's not the best show in the world. I've watched two episodes but really had them on in the background.

On this one they had them staying in themed hotel rooms. A sauna theme and a pole dancing theme.
Guess which of them got the pole dancing room and a lesson? Yep, Wilkinson.

Not sure what the rating are but I think they would have been boosted if they advertised Rachel doing a pole dance

Anyway, they seemed to get on well together.

So ... did Rachel end up in the sauna then?

I loved the remixed dance version of the countdown clock when jimmy did his pom pom dance!

I like the show but absolutely hate the bearded guy that comes on mid way through the show with rachel. I do not find him funny at all and I end up turning off when he appears, prior to that its good after he appears its bad.

What surprised me is that is requires three people to switch the letters board for the numbers board and vice versa mid-filming. I would have thought there would be a simpler way of doing it.


I thought the letters board was next to dictionary corner, with the numbers board opposite the contestants.

I assumed they were two seperate boards.

It's on a spinner, so when it's numbers time, they pause for about 30 seconds to spin the letters board around the the numbers board, and lift the number selection table into the platform. If you look at the letters board you can see the back of the numbers board behind it.

In the old days, they used to be besides one another.

If she doesn't get on with him then she's quite a good actor, she seemed to be very at ease with him in that episode, in fact just a bit too giggly overall.

The first episode of this current series wasn't very good at all. Jon and Sean couldn't be arsed and the "programme associates" didn't come up with any decent jokes.

They could do a permanent swap of Henning Wehn for Wilkinson any time, for me. Henning did the funniest story I've ever heard on WILTY.

I don't think he can out do Kevin Bridge's horse story

I did think he had the funniest rant on the last series of Room 101 though.

Yeah, the horse story is a cracker, although it's boosted by the input from Mitchel and Brydon.

Jon beging stupid again trying to get 9 letter words.

If they're not bothered playing the game then why keep making the programmes?

I must say I wince with embarrassment as the fragrant Suzi has her ears attacked by the resident potty mouths on this show.

I find it entertaining...

If the nay sayers had their way TV would be just a test card...

Its like with Top Gear, it pulls in loads of dosh to the BBC allowing other unwatched dross to be funded,yet loads of tools wanted axed because it upsets them and they watch it every week to make sure it does

I'm a fan of it. I'm a fan of Carr and Lock and to a lesser extent, Richardson.

I just think there has been a drop in quality since the first specials.

jon can do that as he's usually way out in front anyway. there's always the normal countdown if you want to see them playing it properly.

She's fragrant all right. I have it on good authority* that she likes a vindaloo and farts like a horse afterwards with fumes that would strip paint.

* no I don't
