    A Bizarre Collection Of Puzzles by The Enigma is no ordinary puzzle book. Abandoning the standard format of numbers 1 to 9, this item contains a miscellany of names in the sudoku grids. These bizarre grids feature such general knowledge topics as geography, history, popular music, politics, and sport. You won't have seen anything like these before. Also, the author (a former contestant on Fifteen To One and Countdown) has assembled 300 conundrums and numbers games from Channel Four's Countdown.

    I was wondering that. I can only assume this was re-run due to cricket being abandoned at a guess. I recall 'Countdown''s older editions were occasionally shown in such an event.

    Susie looks better now 28 years later. She is like a fine wine. She aged well

    Proof that Vampires are real. The Dent must be one. She has not aged in 27 years !

    Turning back to this after a recent episode, I notice at last that Susie Dent looks a bit like a less pouty version of Ruth Galloway - if she'd been saucer-eyed I would have been a lifelong Countdown addict

    Susie Dent has got hotter and hotter? Why do I fancy her more now than back then?
    The intro graphics for countdown are awful! lol...
