Hi Johnny,

Good to see all of your contributions here at the wiki. All very useful and informative.

Just one thing, though. I feel you're being a little premature describing the current top five seeds in Series 62 as finalists. Ok, they've qualified for the finals, but qualification doesn't mean that they actually play. There have been a number of occasion in recent years when people in the top eight places have not appeared due to a variety of reasons. This is why we maintain a leaderboard right down to the tenth position, until such time as it is known generally who actually plays. It would be fair enough to say, for each of the people, that they have qualified for the finals, but I believe that's as far as it should go at present. (Others my disagree with me)

I look forward to reading many more of your contributions here.--Drawoh 09:27, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Ah, I was wondering if this was going to be an issue. It's true, finalists sometimes can't make their positions. I will edit the pages to include "qualified for the finals." JohnnyCanuck 21:04, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Hmm. Not Ryan Vickers then. Well that's one eliminated. Only 34114999 left to choose from (acording to Wiki).--Drawoh 07:50, 26 May 2010 (BST)

The Doctor's dream series

So? BTW did you watch qualifying? I LOVE F1!! The Doctor, 2007, 12 June 2010 BST

Should there be another of mine? And if so, then what can I improve on. Discussion continued on My Talk Page --The Doctor 09:00, 13 July 2010 (BST)

Proof that the forum doesn't like our dream series. Both of them. Plus keep reading........ --The Doctor 18:35, 11 August 2010 (BST)

Do what? JohnnyCanuck 17:17, 13 July 2010 (BST)

I will keep making Prelims for Series 2 until you tell me to stop, or I run out of drivers who are still alive. The Doctor 08:59, 14 July 2010 (BST)

Is this enough? The Doctor 16:49, 7 August 2010 (BST)

It's your decision; I have no intention to be the boss. Maybe you could do a Formula Championship of Champions or Supreme Championship now? JohnnyCanuck 19:01, 7 August 2010 (BST)

I'm getting the views of the public. YOU'RE MORE SUCCESFUL THOUGH. And I just realised I had caps lock on but I'm too lazy to change it. BTW How easier could it be?? The Doctor 08:33, 8 August 2010 (BST)

Your Dream Series

I cant see the clip. Sometimes I hate Channel 4.... The Doctor 1105 13 June 2010 bST

There is a link from every ep. I would redirect it to your Countdown USA Page. The Doctor 1853 13 June 2010

Just saying. The first round used a 2 letter word. User:The Doctor

Is there a lower limit to the number of letters you can declare? The Contestant Guidelines don't appear to say so. JohnnyCanuck 17:09, 15 June 2010 (BST)

Yes, 3 User:The Doctor

Where does it say that? JohnnyCanuck 17:43, 18 June 2010 (BST)

You've been more successful than me. Could you link me? Type [[User:The Doctor|The Doctor]] The Doctor 1806, 24 June 2010 BST

I just noticed that the numbers rounds with Vanna White are missing Maxes. The Doctor 15:47, 13 July 2010 (BST)

Scott Mearns

I am trying to get him up to featured article standard. Can you help User:The Doctor 2040 BST 17 June 2010

Sure, I'm going to start working on it tonight. BTW, I recognize the conundrum in your new ep from Scott's CoC final. JohnnyCanuck 17:42, 18 June 2010 (BST)

WOAH!! I literally JUST put it up! User:The Doctor 1744 18 June 2010 BST

Actually, I might do a dream series for this. The Doctor 13:47, 22 July 2010 (BST)

Episodes category

Hi Johnny. You may have noticed that I've created an alternative template for use in episodes such as your dream sequence, so that these games are not included in the Episodes with round details category. Can you change each of the Template:R-letters ... templates to Template:Rx-letters ... in all of your dream games. You'll know when you've picked all the lines, as the Episodes with round details category will no longer be generated for the page. Many thanks. If you prefer, I can do it for you. :) --Drawoh 17:35, 20 July 2010 (BST)

Looks good. Well done!  :) --Drawoh 20:19, 20 July 2010 (BST)

Could I help with it? The Doctor 13:43, 22 July 2010 (BST)

Looks interesting. Can I help too? --The Countdown Man 13:46, 22 July 2010 (BST)

Interesting. Of course, being a grand final, this would probably have been a 14 round game. I haven't worked out any accurate way to make 14-rounders yet, though. JohnnyCanuck 17:07, 23 July 2010 (BST)
