First Ever Countdown - Part 4 Of 4

That was great a pity that bloke spoke at the end. Daft question but was the clock animated in the old days???

Cathy was really pretty.

50 3s is 150, less 10 3s is 120, less 1 is 119, 119 7s is 833.

When Richard says can you do better he still said that right up till he died

I really enjoyed this - I used to watch Countdown in the '80s when I came home from primary school. Remember Cathy Hytner but not sure who the girl picking the numbers is. Haven't watched it recently - I can't imagine it without Richard Whitely.

@QueenBie08 Carol Vorderman did the numbers. Until 2008 she did the letters (replacing Cathy) and numbers

Surprised they left the endcap intact.

I love the theme at 2:50

I wish the stupid announcer was NOT speaking over it!

Great clip!

1:21 sounded like a cow then a Buzzer!
