I saw about 15 minutes of it the other day for the first time in ages. He won by 120ish to 27. He got one nine letter, and two eights, and also got the conundrum in one second. He's incredible.

The part episode that I saw he also got to within 1 in the numbers game - Rachel Riley said it was impossible to get the actual target number. The other contestant who chose the numbers was about 10 away from the target number.

Flicked it on and thought the red light green light doll off Squid Game had cashed in on their new fame to become presenter as the only part of their physiognomy capable of movement seemed to be the eyes with even those struggling to operate synergistically - then realised it was the even more cold-hearted and repugnant Anne Robinson so flicked it off again.

Used to watch it my Dad when I was back in Blighty.
He liked a puzzle but I think he was more watching for Carol Vorderman (?)
Anyway, he wasn’t alllowed to operate power tools for 30 minutes after the show.

Last time I watched it was when good old Richard Whitely and Vorderman used to be on the show. From memory I thought they "retired" the champion after a certain number of wins and then brought them back for the end of series "champions league" knockout just before Christmas. I don't know if they still do it like this nowadays.

Yes I think they still do it judging by Rachel Riley’s comments today at the end of the program “ that was probably better than most finals we have”

How many games has he won now ? I think they said at the start it was his 6th time on. If undefeated after 8 appearances a contestant is "retired", and the best 8 contestants in the series are invited back for a KO competition to decide a winner.

Our ex player Neil McKenzie was on it some years back. He seemed to make more of a name for himself off the pitch seem to remember. A couple of brawls made the papers.
