Awesome. How did you find out about this? Do they pop up somewhere? Is there a chance we've missed some?

Using the same logic that I did to find the 2 "new" ones last month. The fact that the horses are on is helping a bit........
The fact it's the same next week means more might be on soon........

There is a husband v wife match between the Rudlands of Series 62, which was recorded during Heather Styles' run. That's the only one I definitely know about, but there could be more.....

Anyone have an idea why the C4 website is saying the date of the episode was Thursday 15th December 2011 at 12am?
Definitely not Jamie McNeill or Schrodinger's Cat....

Nope, not a clue.
HISTONE in round 11.
3rd Numbers Alt.: ((75 - 9 - 8) x (8 - 5)) + 1 =
175
4th Numbers Alt.: (3 x 100) + ((9 - 1) x 8) + 10 =
374

Another way for 3rd numbers : 75x(8-1)/(8-5)

I found this quite difficult to find on 4OD. When I typed in Countdown and went to all episodes it wasn't there. I think I had to type in the date in the end or something. Well, that was on my laptop. It came up on the app on my phone though.

I assume that is the default date if the person setting it up on 4od forgets to enter the date and time broadcast.
I see from the year in the end credits it was filmed in 2013.
CO-MSO every August
CO:Rea 20th April 2024

I think there might still be really old ones (maybe from 2003 or so) that were never shown and probably never will be.

There were also at least three specials filmed in 2011 between high scoring female players, of which
only one was ever shown. Barbara Grice and Lucy Bolton were involved, maybe or maybe not in the same game.
