The Puzzle Wizard — based in Brisbane, Australia, The Puzzle Wizard produces two quarterly puzzle magazines, compiled and published by prolific cruciverbalist Greg Parker. I'm a big fan of Greg's giant 35x27 crosswords, several of which are included in each issue. It's always a mad rush to figure out the answer to 248 across before the next issue hits the shelves!
Some of my puzzles have appeared in the World of Crosswords publication. It was very exciting for me to see Lexoku, and a couple of my other creations, make their way onto the printed page. For that I've got Greg to thank.

Countdown — the long-running words-and-numbers quiz from the UK's Channel 4. It's been going since I was two — I watched it whenever I could as a youngster. At its peak Countdown drew 4 million viewers, impressive for a 4:30pm slot. In 2003 I moved to New Zealand so I've been starved of crucial conundrums and "one from the top" ever since. Following the ever-popular Richard Whiteley's untimely passing in 2005 there have been several changes of presenter but as of 2012 the show is still going strong.

Letters and Numbers — in 2010 the Aussie version of Countdown was born. If it ever makes its way across the Tasman I'll be the first to apply. Er, probably not actually. I'm slightly camera-shy at the best of times; national TV would be a bridge too far.
