Ha ha. I love the bit near the start where Richard Whitley obviously isn't listening to the female contestant.
"How many crosswords do you do per day?"
"What, compile or solve?"
"Okay, hope you have some fun today".
-
Ahh those famous Whiteley opening words: Stop, and reset.

Hahaha, that was hilarious when he ignored the old lady. Also, "Stop and reset".

Of course, Joyce became a series champion (the first, I think, but correct me if I'm wrong.) on Countdown.

They should bring back that theme and clock sound. I love it. Go figure.

This is even more ridiculously hilarious if you turn on YouTube's experimental Transcribe Audio captions.

@jneedham1000 It all depends if someone either had it in them to record the show all those years ago, or if someone is willing to fork out the £95 fee to get a D.V.D of Calendar Countdown from I.T.V productions.

Why don't you have the proper calander countdown

@sstones1 If you do a youtube search for a clip called "WINNER TAKES SHAUN" you will see it is the same set as winner takes all, but with the 4-1, 2-1, lights taken away

ok as a YTV viewer (sniff Sniff at their forced demise) .. The truth.
Channel 4 in the uk was not the first with Countdown.
Yorkshire TV in England was. and Richard presented for quite a few years before C4 started and may I say did a good job.
used to be shown at 6:30pm GMT monday nights.
as for this pilot... well many YTV viewers may recognise the setting as an adaptation of YTV's studio for Winner Takes All with Jimmy Tarbuck/Geoffrey Wheeler
if this episode is so rare, how did you get hold of it?

I wonder why they didn't let Cathy announce each letter when it was drawn?

Because they would have to pay her more if she spoke
