Channel 4 Continuity, 30th October 1996

I'm not entirely sure when this was from, but it includes the opening and closing titles to Countdown (when it was on at 4.30...!) and the ad-break after it into Ricki Lake, look out for a promo for Wanted! and an advert for PremiumSearch, which was a comparison service well before we were all comparing Meerkats.

Still the worst opening title sequence for Countdown. That Premium Search ad dates from around at least 1992.

The date for this is 30th October 1996.

Thanks for the TX date Col, the cirlces look was certainately only weeks old when I taped this. I could hardly say I was a fan of these Countdown titles either.

Was Wanted the only show in history that was better when Richard Littlejohn was the presenter?

I'm sure after running around the shops like a headless chicken and playing football, You'd want something a WEE bit more substansial than than Microshits!

@freakyjasonpowerslam Except when there were concerns amounting the safety of teenagers who may have got lost and producer Jane Hewland had informed viewers on Right To Reply that she would change the rules to state that nobody under the age of 18 should take part for safety reasons
