Countdown

[quizzywig]

I love Countdown, it's now as good as when Richard and Carol were on. But, much as I like Rachael, I can't help noticing that when the contestants choose their letters she has her back to them and smiles at the camera. Could she not turn and face them? Did Carol do it like that? It seems a little rude not to be facing in their direction, surely she could use any hand to pick up the vowel and consenant cards?

True, Methyl.It's perfectly fair, as there are 1000s who want to go on. I would never in a million years apply for Mastermind but the Chase or Perfection are more my level! By the way, I'm interested as to your choice of username - presumably you have some sort of chemical background....?

It's funny that all the guests in dictionary corner are as clever as each other It's wonderful that in 30 years they have never had a duff guest.
