Who arranges the letters so that there are so many DOUBLES? If a pseudo-random-number generator was used, based on the frequency of letters in the English language, it would be a great improvement. And why doesn’t Stelling let the audience guess the conundrum when no competitor can?

Hi sorry but it really gets on my nerves when the woman with the blonde hair speaks the letters. She says them like A- yuh , B- yuh , C- yuh, D- yuh , E – yuh and so on, please do something about it or I will throw a fit ! but all in all this quiz show is great .

Seems rather odd that you write a comprehensive review after one edition with the new team. The first edition was never going to be the finished article. Look again and eat your words about Jeff. He’s the dogs bollocks.

The whole programme comes across as being rather stilted.Rachael has made numerous mistakes and also appears rather ungainly.I was never a great fan of Carol Vordermann but with hindsight ,acknowledge her presenting skills.

3 weeks in and looking fresh after its makeover. Stelling is still trying too hard and comes across as rather forced. Rachel is an inspired choice – friendly,unaffected,down-to-earth and almost impossibly pretty. She is the girlfriend every man wishes he had. Not too hot at mental arithmetic,though!

Can the pattern of letters have changed? We have the impression that there are many more double and triple letters. Many of the famous countdown favourite words do not have a letter repeated. Although champions are playing now there are very few 8s and no 9s. M
