Will be glad to have it back on as normal.Afternoons just arent the same without Countdown and a nice cup of tea
Yes I know what you mean, we always watch it with a cuppa after dinner (recorded). I don't understand why if they can't show old ones when they are on holiday, Deal or No Deal is always on whatever (I can't stand that so typical ).

Ahh I'd love that. Hey - maybe you'll get a chance to shout out the conundrum at the end! Enjoy.

Rachel has married now. I wonder if Monday's show will refer to it?.It depends how long ago the recordings were done..
I wondered this - no reference as yet, but on one of the specials she was very tanned, which I assumed was her back from honeymoon somewhere exotic.

Nick had me curious yesterday. Paraphrasing, when wishing Des Lynham a happy birthday he said something like.... as everyone knows there have been a few presenters over the years, and the way things are going I'm sure I won't be the last! Made me wonder if he's got itchy feet already OR put his foot in it!

Why would he expect to be the last unless the programme's about to be axed? It's unlikely in any circumstances he would stay for more than a year or two or three. Nobody since RW's day would think of it as a job for life.

That special was filmed post wedding/honeymoon, this week's episodes were filmed before she got married.

In other news, I hear they were due to be filming with Gyles in dictionary corner today.

Oh I'm surprised. Hopefully he'll be on his best behaviour this time and keep his body on his side of the desk, not draped over poor Susie.

I was more intrigued by the "way things are going" part, as if there might have been words, or some other reason it could be imminent.

Apparently she has an infection in her left eye, possibly conjunctivitis?

Why did they only record 2 episodes with Jenny Bond. They normally do 5 in a day

They've had fun with continuity - a lot can happen in a "day", Susie's eye has magically healed, Rachel's tanned and back from honeymoon and in reality Liam's actually had to wait the length of the summer holidays for his last game!

Thanks. Just checked them out and you are correct. Anyone know what bra size she wears.

Today's ep was the one I was in the audience for. Jessica was such a sore looser. After liam and myself sat through the recording of tomorrow's ep the floor manager asked liam and Jessica if they wanted a picture taken and she snapped 'no I want to punch somebody' lol she then saidto her dad 'they should have made it easier for me'
Tomorrow's game features a lady called Lesley and a young lad called Adam or Andrew. Im sure its Adam but liam says its Andrew. Anyway, I won't tell you who wins. I think the final score was 101 to 40 odd

Did they only record 3 episodes then? Seems strange that they only recorded 2 with Jenny Bond. They normally record a full weeks' in a day

So the first player to get 50 points we'll assume wins it then!

There's a special this Friday, think that has something to do with it.

When was that. I'm interested how long the gap is between the show being recorded and them pretending it's live (day of transmission).

It varies, sometimes they have a break from filming.

I'm watching countdown on +1 channel. Theres a letters round and they are

M S R D I E O C A

I reckon theres a nine letter word in it, that no one else got.

Mediocars

As in say a sports team didn't perform that well media may describe it as a Mediocar performance

Rachel's dress with the white bit in the back, looked like it had to be let out because it was too tight.

Hmmm, no such word as "mediocar". I think you mean mediocre.

As Susie Dent would say....sorry
