I have been meaning to keep up with Countdown as well as the L&N repeats, but it is telling that I haven't really got around to it.<br /><br />If Countdown rates much lower than L&N, it will be interesting to see what SBS do. I would greatly prefer fresh L&N episodes, but the UK show is better than nothing, even if I don't watch it religiously.Sam Gaffneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-17305557660223526302012-08-06T12:56:05.179+10:002012-08-06T12:56:05.179+10:00Great work, Sam -- FORMICATE for the win.

With respect to round 4, the c4countdown recap suggests that what I have written as a W was actually a Q -- I'll have to check that once I am home again, but it seems quite likely, as there were two other W's later in the game.

Is there a petition going to bring L&N back? Wish SBS would come to its senses. Still not happy<br /><br />RomanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
