Calendar Countdown Pilot - Never Before Seen On TV - Part 2 Of 3

[gatorman295]

Only one way to get 860:

6 + 1 = 7

7 + 25 = 32

75 – 32 = 43

5 × 4 = 20

43 × 20 = 860

Problem is, it took me much longer than 45 seconds to come up with that!

Ravina tugging the fruit machine ? C'mon,that was priceless !

[danjn92]

'Dictionary Corner, did you get that? Gazebo?'

'Nope, got one in the garden though, and it's a nice word innit?'

That guy's a dolt.

[MrMatteNWk]

8:30, TAKE TWO!

[LovesJumps]

75X8=600

50+7=57

600-57=543

or

75X8-(50+7)=543

The female presenters are not speaking how odd

[MrWineDrinker]

I like "mathematician" from Bradford University (my home town BTW) at 3:03, struggling to add 13 to 529.

[formulacountdown]

Angela's in the way at 2:00 !!!

[formulacountdown]

@formulacountdown and at 6:12 !

[Ross22940]

50*(7+4)=550

(75/5)-8=7

550-7=543



[minimalist1984]

@Ross22940 A more efficient way would be

75x7 = 525

525+(50-(8x4)) = 543

[thelyniezian]

It's obvious to see why this could not have been broadcast- it's very awkward in its presentation and some of them (the girls in particular) don't seem to be doing their job too well...

[mongrelvids]

Doesn't this make you appreciate Carol and Rachel.

[darijoe]

Oh those epic technical and game failures from 7:48 onwards (scoreboard) was so difficult to watch!

[db1987db]

@darijoe Haha yeah! 6 points for nothing :\

[jeffrey44]

What programme is the clock at the end for and do you have it?

[countdowngoofs]

Sorry we don't know what you mean by this question.

[jeffrey44]

At the very end of part three, after the programme has finished there is a brief glimpse of another programme starting. I just wondered what it was.

[countdowngoofs]

Oh, ok. No sorry we don't.

[cameronboy18]

Women hostesses on game shows in the 1970s and 80s were usually there just to look good, probably why the letters and numbers ladies didn't say a word. Carol Vorderman bucked this trend :)

[formulacountdown]

She is much slower than Carol!!

[cameronboy18]

She's having to write neatly in chalk!

[BlackwoodCompany]

Carol is better than those two women for sure.

[NUTTER1234567890123]

Now talk about old school! My god. Any idea of the year? Looks WAY different from today's countdown that's for sure!

[countdowngoofs]

1981

[NUTTER1234567890123]

Saw that on the end credits. The women aren't in the class of the Rachel Riley are they? :)

[Amisbro]

@countdowngoofs

wow so this show was born the same year as I. Any idea of the day and month?
