With 91 and 79 on Wed & Thur respectively I do believe that makes 170.

And so a recap of a full game found on YouTube... Countdown recap for Friday 24 March 1995. C1: Champion Andy Cusworth (#2 Seed - 6 wins, 396 points.) C2: Champion John Wheeldon (#7 Seed - 3 wins, 213 points.) DC: Richard Samson and David Jacobs. CV: Carol Vorderman. OT: Other words or solutions. R0...

Thank you for the happy birthdays, Jason and Julie 17, one more year of immaturity left thought not if I can help it

I may have been a young thing when it was broadcast, but I remember Richard saying something to Carol on the 2000th edition special (Spring-ish time '97?) about making sure to never say that a numbers game was impossible. It only twigged when reading this thread that it may have been a reference to ...

One Last Consonant is on YouTube and starts here - not sure if the final is floating about anywhere though.

Does anyone here visit WeDigTV now and again? It's a load of old gameshows put together in a way that you can play along. Countdown's on there, although it's pretty shoddy IMO, and the dictionary is way off and the letters selections are 9 times out of 10 dreadful, but Millionaire and Bullseye are p...

It's been removed and uploaded again once or twice, first time because there was no sound, second time, well, I don't know. Anyway, it appears to be back again:

Is there a way of checking to see who's already in the game before adding a character?

Not sure if this counts as a bug as such, but ever since Windows Vista has been installed on this computer (26th), I (a non-donator) have been able to access the entire game archive.

Happy Christmas!

Hope Santa brings you everything you want!

Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope 2009's a good'un!

I'm considering applying for the show towards the end of next year or so, although judging by my recent Apterous form I shouldn't really bother

All well and good in victory - however, missed out on bagging 10 points in the last numbers by taking 2 away from 707, thinking, for some reason, that I was going for 705

Yeah but from what I've read on the forum it should be well worth it.

12 January will roll on very quickly for me anyway, got an AS ICT exam that morning!

Love the new set, never really did take to those purple stripes. Can't wait for January 12th

Nice to see the picture has changed

Sad news. I thought he was quite fun to watch, particularly his banter with Des at the end of his final show about him only smiling when it was time to go home (or something along those lines) and had very obvious ability.

RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad news. Enjoyed his appearances in DC last year.

RIP.

I used to think this was pretty good when I was little:

Best game ever.

Why did the orange stop rolling down the hill? It ran out of juice. Why was the butcher angry? Because the delivery boy sat on the mincer and got a little behind in his deliveries. Why don't gypsies need condoms? They have crystal balls so they can see it coming. How do you spot a blind man at a nud...

I'm 16 but I've been watching Countdown since I was about 18 months old if that counts

There is, however, one quite nice old episode from August '94 on there, split into three 10min videos:

Great game with Junaid which went to 3 conundrums, guess who won?: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=6100

I noticed a slight difference, she seemed a bit down - I was thinking that they might have been filmed after she was informed of her proposed new deal but I could be wrong as I have no idea of the timing between filming and broadcast.

Ok then, here goes: Countdown recap for Monday 25th August 2008. C1: Champion Samira Mohamed (2 wins, 203 points.) C2: Challenger Jeremy Miles. DC: Susie Dent and Arthur Smith. CV: Carol Vorderman.

I wouldn't mind seeing Griff Rhys Jones or Michael Palin on Countdown. Joseph's suggestion of Joe Pasquale reminded me of Roy 'RIGGHT' Walker, for some reason, and I think he'd be pretty decent in DC. Chalk up another one for Stephen Fry to return too :D and the slightly less likely selections from ...

Oh yeah - if you're interested - I got B in Drama, A in IT and French, and A* in the other 7. I was really proud of my Maths which was nearly full marks and English Lit (which is my fave subject and I convinced myself I fucked up the exam). French the only disappointment because I thought I aced th...

Yes, the course was split into 3 different sections, of which each was worth a GCSE. I'm certainly not complaining

Well done Jason, congratulations I got my GCSEs aswell:

A* - English Language and Literature
A - IT x2, History and Statistics
B - Maths, RE, Art, German, and another IT
C - Science x2

I got an E grade in PE but I only took the thing because I was forced to

Ahh, must be FRUTICOSE

Just had a skim through and found:

06. BILENURSE = NEBULISER
14. INUNDATES = UNSTAINED, perhaps?
16. OMITCABLE = METABOLIC

edit: just saw another,
22. SOMEBIDDY = DISEMBODY

40. PAINTCUGS = UPCASTING?

Hi there, my name's Jay, and I'm 16. I have been an avid viewer of Countdown for almost all of my life, taking a shine to the clock and the music when I was 18 months old (I learnt the alphabet from Countdown and it really gave me a kick start into education), and I'm hoping to become a contestant a...
