I'm jealous that he got to go on Countdown..but would hesitate to put rude word down as it may get reported for abuse!Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -

Congrats Martin on being on Countdown - will look forward to May programmes. Can I just recommend going as an audience member to see Countdown - it's a brilliant morning/afternoon out and it's free apart from the cost of getting there!
I took my Mum as a birthday present and we had a fantastic time.0 -
Does anybody else remember the episode of "a bit of Fry and Laurie" wher they spoofed countdown and got the right letters to make the word Sloblock, as in a steaming pile of. Would that be the word Martin found do you think?
I think the letters can also be used to make a word from a Sex Pistols album title meaning Priests.;)0 -
I may have to start watching again, at least that week! I appeared on Countdown a decade or so ago and got an 8-letter rude word myself! I won the round with 'orgasmed', it got on to page 3 of the Sun thanks to Carol's enthusiastic interpretation, I hope Martin's word gets some good coverage too
