Re: 2000th Episode
After looking into this a bit more.
On the countdown page, the Broadcast times page lists it as 23rd May 1997, under special programmes. But the Series 35 page lists it as the 7th May 1997.

I was wondering when this was broadcast because The Countdown Page says it was 23rd May 1997. Whereas, the Countdown Wiki says it was on 7th May 1997.
