Countdown - so much better these days!

I watched Countdown for the first time in ages. Jeff is an excellent host. But RR in for CV, a good choice IMHO. She is rather nice!! & wears lovely outfits & is intelligent with it too.
 
Can't believe Kirk didn't get one of the numbers games today. (And no, I didn't either, but I'm nowhere near his ability. :) ) Nor that he didn't get

. I saw it as a possible word while the letters were being picked and was just waiting for the final letter.
 
Perhaps the most cringeworthy TV moment of the year this week, when Lesley Garrett launched into Climb Every Mountain! I actually had to look away, and I can't believe poor Suzi resisted sticking her fingers in her ears!
 
I thought this was interesting how they did this. Did see the last part of todays episode, i watched Countdown on and off over the years.

Have skimmed through a lot of the posts in this thread i think its still as good.
 
If you don't like it then don't watch it, there's plenty of rubbish on if you prefer that. Looking at Channel 4's afternoon programmes there's nothing but rubbish on apart from Countdown (imho) which is not a problem as I don't have time to watch TV in the afternoon anyway (Countdown is Sky+ed).

Personally I wish they'd make enough to avoid the breaks at Christmas etc.
 
Martin Lewis - the money chap - is in Dictionary Corner this week. Has anyone noticed how his left eyebrow is a lot higher than his right. Just thought I'd mention it.
 
I do hate the way people are so quick to criticise Rachel. I think she's done really well in a very short space of time. I am consistently impressed by her maths ability.
 
So how come everyone looks all tanned now and slightly different?

This is obviously the start of a new week of filming, but is this after some kind of break? As I understood it, they film the whole series in one stretch over the course of a few weeks? The whole of series 61 was filmed around June/July, right?

I notice some of the cameras are set up a little different now. The shot when Jeff starts the clock seems wider, for example.


I simply do not find tanned women attractive at all.

From the reaction here, it would appear I am in a minority, so this is probably a good move for Rachel and she would be wise to keep tanning.
