The so-called "1000th episode"

James, there is an episode here Episode 1003 which began Series 20, and was made to celebrate 1000 editions of Countdown. None of the round details have been filled in, but they are on Mike's website here: http://www.thecountdownpage.com/1000.htm

Not sure if you want to do this or not, as I am not very good at filling in episode grids, and when I have done them before nobody has come along behind and filled in the maximums etc.

Thanks Vande 10:28, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Best way to fill in episode grids is to use the recapwriter on cdb, then copy and paste the output into the wiki. All the maxes are done automatically (assuming current dictionary, though). Drawoh 10:31, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It is slightly hard to do just from that, since I don't have the DC words or methods that were used in numbers games, so it would still be fairly incomplete. JRTerrier24 18:11, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Well I've attempted it myself now. Round details, with all the letters, declarations, numbers and targets is better than no table at all! Was my first time using the Recap Writer, and although it's quite nice, it would be good if you could alter it for irregular games like this one which have different amounts of numbers rounds, conundrums etc..

Identity

Are you and DJ Pomfret and 80.2.140.146 all the same person? Or do you just work as a team? Vande 20:54, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Me and DJ Pomfret and the other one are not the same person and we certainly aren't in a team at the moment. JRTerrier24 21:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Specials

Hi James. I see you've put the Kirk v Chris special as episode 4999 on the Series 62 page. It's already set up as episode 26, and should be kept quite apart from the Series 62, as it doesn't form part of the series. I know there are some anomolies earlier, for example when the junior competition has been included within a series, but it's better to get the present set of specials correctly set up. --Drawoh 23:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi, I see that on a few recaps you've changed the arithmetical symbols from × and ÷ to plain x's and slashes. Any particular reason? Or is it just a dummy edit to bring the pages to my attention so that I polish them? :) -- smjg 23:24, 15 April 2010 (BST)

That reason you mentioned. A nice bit of polishing wouldn't go a miss to those areas. Although the main reason is that most of them are missing "Carol Vorderman as arithmetician" credits. JRTerrier24 09:11, 16 April 2010 (BST)

Now I'm confused - you completely undid the polishing of Episode 4360. -- smjg 20:22, 22 May 2010 (BST)

Episode 5058

The reason I did that recap is because I had some time to kill, so I did it simultaneously while it was on 4 +1, and inevitably I missed some stuff. I had a guess, and I watched that ep again on YouTube (in the Shows bit). The Doctor 0954, 12 June 2010

Series 48

Thanks for doing those onto YouTube. I was going to but never found the time, busy with my dream series. Matt Smith 2134, 12 June 2010 BST

62/63 mix up

Thanks James. :) Hadn't realised that recap writer is still putting them out as 62.--Drawoh 19:18, 5 July 2010 (BST)

You can't put the cat for missing/incomplete ttt's, if there are no round details; the cat says "RECAPS with missing or incomplete TTT's." The Doctor, 1525, 09 July 2010 BST

Recaps

Shall I do mondays then? The Doctor 16:37, 19 July 2010 (BST)

There is a normal Monday person, but he does seem to like to alternate when he wants.JRTerrier24 20:22, 19 July 2010 (BST)

Not quite sure what this is all about. I don't believe that any part of the Wiki is the province of any individual or individuals. Indeed, on the front page there is an invitation for anybody to edit any page (other than protected pages). So feel free to try your hand anywhere, Doctor. If you run into any problems at all, just ask, and someone will soon be on hand to sort things out. Pretty well any of the authors here, even those who seem to have a monopoly of certain sections of the Wiki, would be doing very little if they held back, thinking that they might be treading on someones toes.--Drawoh 09:12, 20 July 2010 (BST)

Your latest 9-round additions

Hi, whatever you're using to put up recaps has a bug - it's categorising 9-round games as 15-round games. -- smjg 00:19, 6 September 2010 (BST)

Yeah, I know, hence I'm having to manually return them to 9 soon as I paste them. A bit of a bummer really.JRTerrier24 12:29, 6 September 2010 (BST)

GRRR!

As you've been told already, on the front page there is an invitation for anybody to edit any page, so you can't stop JohnnyCanuck from doing Series 28 just because he's not booked on the forum. So, if JohnnyCanuck is reading this, then feel free to do Series 28 as James just wants stuff to be as orderly as the soldiers in Afghanistan.

So, James, don't be so harsh on ordinary folk like me and JohnnyCanuck, don't tell him to spend his precious minutes on the forum, and just because you don't like me or JohnnyCanuck (by the way, why do you revert ALL my edits, even when they are useful?)

So Johnny, go and do it, against James' will if you have to. More recaps are better than organised recaps.

Speaking of which, I need to do some which I booked on the forum. --The Doctor 17:17, 21 September 2010 (BST)

I think you'll find that organised is better than more on here. If you want to be messy, return to your play pen and do that, but we like to keep things neat and tidy on here. I have nothing against Johnny doing recaps, but we do want a copy on the forum as well.JRTerrier24 20:26, 21 September 2010 (BST)

Episode 2722

OK. For once, you have fair reasoning --212.139.118.131 20:19, 21 September 2010 (BST)
