I never realized how much Richard (RIP) repeated himself "window, right. window, right, well window, that's a 6, for window"

whats a NANO-NANO?

Doesn't anyone else think that Carol was quite aggressive when writing down the numbers?

[ryanads]

@sikinder0341948 Yep

[sikinder0341948]

That wasn't Carol in the first 9 mins of the video, wasn't it? What the hell happened?

@sikinder0341948 In those days Carol Vorderman was just there to check the numbers- puting up the tiles was someone else's job. Somehow she ended up getting their job too (presumably to cut costs).

Yeah, it is Cathy Hytner with a different hairdo.

This episode proves something I knew all along, that the photo on uk gameshows and the countdown wiki etc of Karen Loughlin at the letters board when Harvey Freeman got TRAGEDIAN is NOT Karen Loughlin!

It must be Kathy Hytner with a different hairdo

[mongrelvids]

@DANWOODHOUSE Yep same here, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this! Harvey was on in 1986 so that would have been Cathy on the show at the time, as she didn't leave until the following autumn.

Great to see all these old episodes again from when, heck, even I was new to the show!

[ryanads]

Yeah! back to the 80's

Whoa all retro 80s again - I love it!
