Good documentary, but it's a pity they glossed over many aspects of the shows earlier days such as when there were more hostesses. Cathy Hytner, for instance was on Calendar Countdown and in almost 650 countdown episodes, yet she and her fellow hostesses have been largely forgotten which is a shame.
and a lot forget that after Cathy Hytner left, Karen Loughlin from Sale of the Century took over for a while with the letters and then followed by Lucy Summers, until Carol was given responsibility of both letters and numbers.....
Yeah, the Bond girl! It's a shame that all those hostesses are mostly ignored. But at least they invited Cathy Hytner on to that Carol Vorderman documentary which was shown just before her last show in 2008.
Odd that this was given a Tyne Tees endcap and a "Yorkshire-Tyne Tees" label...

What background music is used during the credit sequence of this episode?

@PeterannaProductions "A Swingin' Safari" which was used on the original 1962-69 "Match Game" (which you called in your country: "Blankety Blank").
