One thing only do I know, and that is that I know nothing - Socrates.

You may as well ask us if we've heard of Bob Robinson.

Re: Countdown
There is a website called Apterous where people play Countdown. You can also collect items for obtaining some words, one of which is a "Work of Welsby".
And I bet you krollo will know who is top of the list without looking at it: Krollo and I both use it frequently.
Edited to make the link work.

Shamelessly plugging this. WARNING: This contains references to recent editions of Countdown. If you don't want to know the scores or the details, look away now!

Re: Countdown
I failed three auditions to enter Countdown back in 1999/2000. Now I can't be bothered.
Personal record: 270 Stations in 9 minutes and 3 seconds

Re: Countdown
I just found the episode on YouTube where our very own steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo is a contestant. It was filmed when he had the record before Marc Gawley had it. Jeff Stelling says that it normally takes him 16 hours and 44 minutes to get from one end of the Northern line to the other...
