Monday 19 September 1983 (Series 3, Prelim 1)

[Mike Brown]

Countdown recap for Monday 19 September 1983 (Series 3, Prelim 1).

C1: Challenger Harry Venet.
C2: Challenger David Drake-Brockman.
DC: Yvonne Warburton and Ned Sherrin.
CV: Carol Vorderman.
OT: Other words or solutions.

I’m adding this and a few other ‘conundrum’ only episodes for the sake of completeness. Don’t panic – after a few programmes, Series 3 settles down and gradually the games will gain letters selections, contestant offerings, etc. This really is a case of early Countdown recaps in the making! I’m also indebted to a chap called Phillip Edwards for many of the conundrum scrambles and letter and number selections from these early shows, as I didn’t start recording such things regularly until the start of Series 4.
