Talk:Andy Cusworth
From Countdown
I received an email from Andy with some extra info, feel free to merge this into the article if anyone has time:
- Although it is true that I went on to appear twice more on 15-to-1, I had already appeared on it once before in 1993. I have never appeared on Cross Wits or Chain Letters. As far as I know I am not related to Gordon. He does not appear on any of the 3 family trees that I've compiled. Obviously, if you go back far enough then we are all related!!
- There are a couple of things you may think relevant to add (up to you, of course): I also contributed puzzles to the Countdown magazine; and I am responsible for the introduction of the rule that contestants are not permitted to select more than 5 vowels. This is because I kept picking 6 in my semi-final (permitted at the time) and Mark Nyman decided to amend the rules for future series to prevent contestants from selecting 6 or more, which makes the game difficult or unplayable!
And a further correction:
- Actually it was John Meade who changed the rules, not Mark. Sorry.
