Re: Countdown in the news
Hmm, no actually, I had a look at the BARB site, and Conor's final pulled in 2.53 million viewers. You need to look under the last week of May, not June. The fact that the June figures are very low means that the last C of C wasn't very popular. Interestingly, out of the last 10 series, the game with the second highest number of viewers, behind Conor's final, was the Series 55 final, which Tony Warren was in. I guess this means that the two most popular Countdown champions in recent history are Conor Travers, and whoever it was that won Series 55. Interesting.Jennifer Turner wrote:Apparently not - 2 million would have got Countdown comfortably into the Top 30 throughout that period, but it wasn't showing up on any sort of regular basis, if at all. None of the episodes in the finals week of June 2006 managed the 1.72 million required to make the C4 top thirty that week.Lucy Gowers wrote:Surprised that Des I only got 1.8, given his "housewives' favourite" status and the fact that the show had been off air for some months.
He must have been getting well over 2m by Spring 2006 (thanks to the exploits of Conor Travers and the fact that the tabs were running a story a day about the Des/Carol double-act) as I recall Des II being blamed in the papers for "losing" 1m viewers when the show was getting 1.4m in 2007.
I was amazed to learn that the 2008 average was only 1 million, I had imagined it was about 1.5m. I'm usually the voice of doom on Countdown's ratings, but even I hadn't realised they were quite that low. It certainly puts the recent upheavals in context.

Re: Countdown in the news
Ah, sorry about that. I looked at Conor's page on the wiki to find out when his last game was, forgetting that that would have been in C-of-C. 2.53m is pretty respectable, shame it didn't last.Richard Brittain wrote:Hmm, no actually, I had a look at the BARB site, and Conor's final pulled in 2.53 million viewers.

Re: Countdown in the news
That's one way to look at it. Another would be to note that the top box office blockbuster of the time was Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, which was (for the uninitiated) a comedy film about a ridiculous-looking and freakish idiot who, despite his lack of social skills and more by luck than judgement, makes it big on a wider stage. A high point of the film is his wrestling match with a large gentleman, conducted naked in a hotel room. So maybe this Series 55 final captured the zeitgeist.Richard Brittain wrote:I guess this means that the two most popular Countdown champions in recent history are Conor Travers, and whoever it was that won Series 55.

The Telegraph puts a negative spin on the ratings: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvan ... -show.html
And Allison Pearson in the Daily Mail asks "why on earth did [Rachel Riley] opt for those ludicrous five-inch heels?": http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/debate/ar ... acist.html
After all those speculative "Andrew Sachs might have a go at Russell Brand!" stories, none of the papers seem to have noticed when it actually happened.

Re: Countdown in the news
Complement and compliment, though quite distinct in meaning, are sometimes confused because they are pronounced the same. As a noun, complement means "something that completes or brings to perfection" (The antique silver was a complement to the beautifully set table); used as a verb it means "to serve as a complement to." The noun compliment means "an expression or act of courtesy or praise" (They gave us a compliment on our beautifully set table), while the verb means "to pay a compliment to."

Channel 4 are spinning this well, but the fact remains that they're comparing ratings from one week in TV's peak season, following the show's biggest promotional push in years, with last year's average over the whole year.
