If you happen to come across my edits, I usually tend to make long but very spaced-out bursts of activity to do with Countdown. I'm still interested in the programme, but I have been put off by [[Nick Hewer]], and only tend to watch the finals now.

He famously said, "I'm running out of shirts because I'm doing so well." Known for his unrecognised ability to do difficult numbers games, he had a close non-octochamp run to the runner-up spot of [[Series 42]].

The first rounds he participated in were not successful as his opponent, [[Margaret Shuttleworth]], pulled out a {{score|13|6}} lead by Round 2. The rest of the game saw Hastings claw back that lead and drew until Round 6, where the 7-point lead opened up again. In the next round, Shuttleworth lead by 14-points. However Hastings then showed some material that would lead him to be the runner-up. He solved an extremely difficult numbers game that hinged on getting 33 to multiply by 25, then taking away 5. This was a brilliant performance, as he got the target bang on. Going into the [[crucial conundrum]], the score was {{score|43|39}}. Hastings unraveled {{word|SEXIPETER}} in just 3 seconds.

It is currently Thursday, 23 October 2025.

If you happen to come across my edits, I usually tend to make long but very spaced-out bursts of activity to do with Countdown. I'm still interested in the programme, but not as much as I once was.

Welcome to The Doctor's userpage

I am attempting to....

clear Wanted Pages.

Stage 1

The first stage is to make an entry for all the Masters episodes.

Help please!

I can't do this on my own, though, with such limited timing I have at the moment. Please fell free to leave some sort of message indicating you would like to participate here.

Eps done

Episode M2 to Episode M26.

M1 to M99 are done. Thank you James Robinson.

EPS TO DO:

Episdoes M100, M101, M103, M104. 24 Sept '11

Stage 2

Looking for a load of people who can write a load of waffle and clear out here.

  • Might have a look at this. Krollo1 15:48, 18 May 2011 (BST)
  • Done a few, only the non-episode ones though. Krollo1 10:46, 29 May 2011 (BST)

532 to go. Sept '11.

By the way if you have Google Chrome it will ask you if you want to translate it from Serbian. Don't, its in English!
