Imagine what my gray mater be like without it?

Your mum getting on a bit, is she?

Wish she were mate. Long gone.

Sorry to hear that. Same here. I was replying to your "grey mater" post.

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.

Ah right, the Yorkshire TV version that ran for 8 episodes.

Not 9! ;-)

False nine, maybe?

Apparently there were 9. An unbroadcasted pilot and a series of 8 broadcasted the following year.

I can't watch Countdown with that dipper presenting it. That and I'm a bit thick.
