Calendar Countdown Pilot - Never Before Seen On TV - Part 3 Of 3

Nice arm, Ted.

Whoah thanks for uploading! For being a pilot its not too bad and they kept the main music as well and shortened to 30 seconds per rounds. I am so glad they choe a different assistant :-)

What I don't understand is that I have seen a little bit of Calendar Countdown and the studio was all brown and a bit tatty. If this is the pilot, why is the studio not like what saw b4 by another youtube user??

1:13, TAKE THREE!

God that was truly awful. What an embarrasment! So many cock ups.

[OpT1mU5PrYm3]

Hahaha - this is a total shambles.

Brilliant car-crash T.V!

Well that last round was so utterly easy it's ridiculous... Teatime Teaser stuff. At least in the initial takes.

[dee74raz]

LOL loved the cock ups and cor blimey the end credits certainly blinded me with those hard to read pink words !!!

[DANWOODHOUSE]

That bloke at the end waving that Yorkshire end board around at the end looks a bit like Emlyn Hughes.

So during normal recordings I suppose the end board was steaded on an easel was it?

[hamster2166]

i think your find the person at the end is John Meade producer

i think it is

[darijoe]

Well that was quite a rough production. The rules were not favourable in having a close contest, there were too many long spaces where nothing much happened and the transition between rounds was not smooth. As now, thousands of episodes later, it proves that there was a great idea in this somewhere!

[SixEightySeven]

This is great - so many mistakes it reminds me of the Noel Edmonds Gotcha episode.

Just glad Yorkshire TV persevered with the programme, despite the teething problems.

[PeterannaProductions]

Thanks a lot for this. I wonder who would've kept an old video like this?

[adamfro]

The pre-selected word is Calendar how stupid are these people come on lol

[formulacountdown]

@adamfro They weren't allowed to buzz in. It says at the end of Part 2.

[cameronboy18]

And who chose pink for the closing credits? Trying to read those credits is hard work on the eyes!

[cameronboy18]

I can see why they changed the format! It's only a pilot I know but its understandable why they never broadcast it. The actual series was much clearer and cleaner in format.

[formulacountdown]

LOL!!! at 07:10!

[formulacountdown]

1..2..3 takes for the pre-selected word round!!!

[countdownisdabest]

why didnt this make it on tv?

[gottagothatsme]

"Let's have a toss off", "he'll knock out one of those ladies". Who knew Countdown was so filthy? And I love the way that woman refuses to smile!

[csx2117]

Filthy? Yeah, I guess so, once you notice the "hostess" with the big boobs in her halter top. Special added brownie points for her not being able to remember the difference between a vowel and a consonant.
