They won't allow anything with a recognisable logo on.

Maybe I should just say "custard" or something. Boobles, a PH member, knows what I look like as does Garycab too but I'll try to squeeze custard in somewhere, I guess. Trouble is, if it is out of context, it will be edited out I reckon.

Custard is a 7 letter word, most common number always seems to be a 6 so that could be a winner. smile

The amount of viewers is split into two distinct categories

OAP's who enjoy the show

and

Pervs tuning in for a gawp at Rachel Rileys pert arse.

Used to watch Countdown quite a bit when Richard Whiteley presented it.

Saw it yesterday - absolutley dire - Nick Hewer is asbolutley AWFUL.

The program also seemed far too long and too full of crap put forward by panel/ceberities - Susise Dent babbling on about Movember and different types of beards - embarassing TBH.

Funnily enough I see Margaret Mountford also presents a shown on BBC in the mornings - again absolutley dire presenter.

Classic exmaple (Nick and Margaret) of trying to use any semi famous person as a TV star.

Off up to Salford to film my show(s) tomorrow.

Dictionary Corner guests aren't too bad. Helen Skelton for my first two episodes; if I stay around till Wednesday, then its Graeme Le Saux and if I go all the way, its Gyles Brandreth.

Don't post how you get on, give it a few days to give the impression of a long run (even if you do or don't) then give us an idea of when you might be on smile

I'd much prefer Suzi covered in custard, but Rachel would come a close second.

Pics or it didn't happen.

For your sake, I hope you get knocked out before you get this far.

Rachel Riley - you lucky sod!

Back home now, don't ask me how I got on as I'm sworn to secrecy. I finished in the top two, is all I'm saying.

I couldn't get "custard" in as the letters didn't work out that way but I did get "crumpet", another seven letter food I love eating. In fact, as the pictures show below, there's a lot I quite like eating. Excuse the moobs....

Nick looks most unimpressed..
Wont ask if you got to meet Giles

Did you have much to do to actually get on the show? I assume they don't just put everyone on who applies?
