Countdown - Richard Whiteleys Last Episode - Part 4 Of 4

[jneedham1000]

how did he die



[RoLLWithITOasis1]

Really wish Richard Whiteley was still here

[weatherallc05]

as if carol got away with saying piss off

[skybluesalex]

Yeah his life did fade sadly

[phantom01911]

Kinda spooky that Richard's last countdown conundrum was "lifefaids".

[shabirlondon]

Was always a great laugh, countdown not the same

[Zedd1500]

RIP Richard Whiteley. You are greatly missed. Countdown is not the same without you.

[Swotboy2000]

At least his final episode was a series finale, and a gripping one at that. What an ep to go out on!

@KenfromDublin

Gods aren't real, you bloody idiot.

[KenfromDublin]

@jeffrey44 I was being metaphorical, and I shouldn't have to spell that out, now who's the 'bloody idiot'?

- you need to learn some manners Jeffrey.

Just checked your homepage and it actually looks really good, you have some great videos saved, gonna check some of them out now.

[jeffrey44]

@KenfromDublin

I'm sorry about my misunderstanding and lack of manners but there is a good reason for that, I am in a wheelchair, you see?

I DO have some good videos, you are right. I'm thinking about uploading a clip from 3-2-1 where Ted Rogers gives clues to an object that may or may not be his penis. What do you think?

[KenfromDublin]

@jeffrey44 Sorry to hear that Jeffrey, I understand where you are coming from now.

Oh you have to upload that! I'd love to see it :)

[jeffrey44]

@KenfromDublin

Hello Ken. How is Dublin? I have now uploaded the video that I have previously described.

[jeffrey44]

The winner only got £500? Richard Whitley was such a stingy old miser.

[CountdownConundrums]

@jeffrey44 it wasnt upto him it was upto producers ect

[zghvbn1]

@jeffrey44 the 500 pounds and books as winnings were not importantt they did not go on this show for the money it was/is about having fun ;)

[cwn89015]

I got 934 doing the following, although I would've not gotten it in 30 seconds:

75+10=85

6+5=11

85x11=935

935-1=934.

R.I.P Richard

[Calfaeairdrie]

I watched Countdown from before I was 2 & learned the alphabet

[26highstreet]

The final episode of richards countdown was a ratings high for the show..

nearly 2000 dole bludgers,students and grannies tuned in.

Richard would have been proud

[mousstard]

what an episode for richard to go out on!

[sarahjane4eva]

So, so sad. I grew up with this show and cried so much when he died. Hasn't been the same since. Thank you Richard (and Carol) for giving us so much entertainment

[mongrelvids]

lol @ 6:55, classic RW.

[Squab1972]

R.I.P Richard you are still missed

[Homeandawayeps]

I hardly watch countdown now

[CAFC2010]

4:04, the last ever time he started that clock :(

[GrandDizzy]

How sad when he says "see you on Monday".

[mbsjrcc06]

Yes, because little did he know it would be his last show.

[wpghi5]

RIP Richard.

[AmazemeAltaria]

Countdown is not the same without Richard and Carol.

[dim432]

[countdowngoofs]

After this it returned with Des Lynam & Carol, then Des O'Connor & Carol and then Jeff & Rachel.

[Homeandawayeps]

[countdowngoofs]

What about it?

[SpeedDemon2468]

soz, my bro luvs countdown and he's autistic (got brain damage) and he just likes memorising the dates of certain countdown episodes. He also likes certain contestants like mikey lear and kai laddiman so if anything random just pops up, its my bro.

[countdowngoofs]

Ok no problem - We thought maybe you wanted these episodes uploading.

Thanks

[dannyjamie1612]

@SpeedDemon2468 autism isnt brain damage by the way

[mousstard]

@SpeedDemon2468 PEOPLE WITH AUTISM DO NOT HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE YOU FUCKING SOD! I SHOULD KNOW, SOUNDS LIKE YOUR THE ONE WITH BRAIN DAMAGE, FUCK OFF!!!!

[gwhite79]

@mousstard people with brain damage may have autism though, and the damage may have caused the autism

y, o, u, apostrophe, r, e means you are

y, o, u, r means your

sounds like you are definitely a few fries short of a happy meal

[mousstard]

@gwhite79 I apologize for my error in grammar. NOT!! (middle finger)

[gwhite79]

@mousstard you're saying your brain cells are located in your middle finger?

[weatherallc05]

@gwhite79 how about you two shut the hell up acting like a bunch of babies?

[gwhite79]

@weatherallc05 Only people with the intellectual capacity of rotting fruit would ask others to "shut the hell up" on a conversation that occurred *one year ago*!! How dumb do you look?

[weatherallc05]

@mousstard i am autistic, and trust me its not brain damage. ignore him. my autism basically ruins my interpretation of pragmatics big time

[DaveAndMikey]

@SpeedDemon2468 Your brother's awesome.

[morgansifer82]

This was the beginning of the end as far as I am concerned, with Richard's sad death, then Carol's departure a few years later, and now the programme has been shifted to Manchester from Leeds.

[dartaddict]

It's weird that the last conundrum was "Lifefaids".

[eeboy1980]

Spooky

[SuiginChou]

I noticed that too. Pretty grim, really! I bet they'll never use that as a conundrum again after what coincidentally happened.

[countdowngoofs]

for sad countdown news please view my video called "YTV closure discussion" for more information!

[countdownisdabest]

lol @ 6:53

[Imwolfe2junior]

whoa. manitus? (i'm assuming that that was in there correct?) (i PERSONALLY think that a bonus prize or something along those lines should be awarded IF a player manages to outsmart dictionary corner or the host at any time. (meaning either finding a word that they missed OR finding a solution that the hostess missed in the #'s game.

[kanenkitten]

they've still got 2 more episodes with Whiteley in them ready to broadcast in case the cricket finishes early

[Jver10]

I doubt those will ever be broadcast as Channel Four no longer shows cricket

[kanenkitten]

don't they show The Ashes

[Jver10]

No, Channel 4 only showed cricket between 1999 and 2005, since then, all rights of live broadcasts of England cricket have been with Sky Sports

[formulacountdown]

@Jver10 but they're talking about getting it back....

[SpeedDemon2468]

Richard Whiteley's dead m8

he died in 2005!

o wait I get what u mean... u mean eps that were recorded BEFORE he died

[Rich87]

I love a 2nd conundrum

[countdownisdabest]

[countdownisdabest]

[countdowngoofs]

Yes, certainly no problem

I have also got "Richard Whiteley, Television Man" which is a documentary about Richard showing where he grew and going behind the scenes at YTV. You can find more about it on imdb. Just send me a message or post another comment on here if you want me to upload it.

Thanks
