[Facevampire]

Is Gyles Brandreth the one Fry and Laurie parodied in their Countdown sketch? He sounds rather similar

[pjbolas]

I had the pleasure of playing against Steve Balment in a game of Scrabble last Saturday (25th June) at The Lincoln Open Tournament. I didn't know at the time that he had been on Countdown, but I have actually seen this video before lol.

This is the 1982 set with markings on the clock.

[fatg1t]

the word finance is only seven letters in length!

[KenfromDublin]

I got the 9 letter 'finance'; happy Christmas Mel...

[jaradoref]

I found out that that 1st letters game has about six 9 letter solutions.

[DANWOODHOUSE]

Watch this from the start with closed captions on.

[BenCoolGuy1]

I wish Gyles would just say the word instead of just explaining it... god

[celloguy]

Oh God the guest is so cringeworthy. What a twat!!!
