'Can I get' is one of the things contestants are told not to say when they are briefed before the show. Some forget!

oh, the edited out Dr Hammond's guest section. I wonder if he said anything about shooting politicians, or something.

He mentions it on twitter, he thinks it was edited out because he supports the junior doctors.

Dr Phil Hammond @drphilhammond I think my monologue on @C4Countdown today was edited out but I think it was about supporting #juniordoctors & you can imagine what I said. |

I don't know what's happened to Dr Phil. I used to look forward to his spots - he always told the funny side of the medical profession, and he used to be hilarious. That all seems to be gone now - he's all preachy and much too serious.

According to The Mirror both Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley will reunite for Sky Sport's new Friday Night Football. Wonder if this will affect Rachel Riley's Countdown commitments.

it won't, Countdown episodes are filmed in blocks. where they do 5 a day for a few weeks.
Grueling work though over those three days. And Nick having to think up 15 monologues which most people end up fast-forwarding through. |

I've been sent a list of recording dates. They film 15 episodes over 3 days Monday to Wednesday, then that's it until three weeks later usually. There's plenty of time off to do other things! And nothing on Fridays.

I missed her being introduced so don't know what the situation is (I presume it was mentioned) but I find her voice annoying & her pushing that thing in her throat makes me cringe, sorry - I know it's not a nice thing to say but I'm just being honest, I'd have preferred it if she'd not lasted as long as what she has.

![]() Back to Annie - I tend to watch most programmes these days via cordless headphones and don't often look at the screen at the same time. For example, during the introduction bits on Countdown. No need. Hence, on Annie's first appearance I wasn't in the living room or could see the screen when she first spoke. As a consequence at the time I thought "what the bl*%y hell has gone wrong with the sound on my TV(!!!) I think it's bust! Kaput!". Of course, I soon realised what the situation was though. Anyway as awkward as listening to her has at times been, kudos to Annie for participating on the show and indeed for doing so well so far! ![]() And I'm sooo glad Gyles Brandreth is gone, for now at least. What a smug and irritating g*t he is.

I do tend to agree with you there Jenny. I find her rather uncomfortable to listen too also. But....
...I do very much agree with that. Bravo indeed to Annie. I think its very commendable that she's no doubt confident (and brave enough) within herself to actually go on the show considering her unfortunate situation. I'm not sure what her predicament is as if it was explained I must have missed that. But, as I say, I'm not sure it was discussed, which doesn't surprise me. There was a not totally dis-similar situation a while back with a contestant who was obviously a transvestite, or transgender, I'm not sure. And again from memory that was never 'discussed' as such within the context of the show. Not that it unequivocally should have been by any means, but as now on that occasion also I was genuinely interested in what was the back story of it all.
