A number please Carol

[Sysman]

Countdown hits its 6,000th edition today. Series 70.

And make that a large number please

I watched it the other day for the first time since I was a student.

Too much chat now, Whitely never had the need to discuss with the contestants what their ambitions were and what their hobbies were and the like.

Get on with it.

(Although I like having more numbers games).

Stick to 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Better jokes, and Susie Dent blushes nicely.

I watched this for the first time a few weeks back, on the train. I was really struggling to not laugh loudly - one of the best things on TV.
