Countdown.

[BringBackSwales]

I did.
I spotted counties alright and also @kaz7 favourite word but I didn't spot cuntiest until you mentioned it.
Imagine Suzi Dent explaining that one

It’s a good job I wasn’t on today! There’d have been some editing required

Anybody remember the worst ever Countdown contestant, as watched by the Gogglebox crew.......

Sort of reminded me of this

It's looking a bit dated now. It's heyday was 20 (?) years ago, with Richard and pre surgery Carol. It's time it was retired.

I always preferred fifteen to one anyway, with William G Stewart.

Cats Does Countdown was always brilliant when Sean Lock was on. Much better than the real prog.

It's a good team with Colin, Rachel and Susi. You can tell they all get on well with each other.

I was on form yesterday, got a 9 letter word that nobody saw and the conundrum in 3 seconds (I’m shit at anagrams normally).

Gray might be his mother’s surname.

Either way, doesn’t mater.

As Colin Murray asked on The Rest is Entertainment podcast, why is it called countdown and not count up?

They even went on to say that originally there were only 8 letters, so it’s just a coincidence that it has 9 letters.

Ha, very good mate. Saw what you did there.

Always nine in the UK version looking at the first episode broadcast, although the original version it was based on in France started with 7 and ended with 10. Unless he means it was going to be 8 but they changed it after piloting the format or something. BTW the French version has just finished after a 50+ year run over there.

And surely it’s a Countdown clock as I’ve never heard of a Countup clock.
