Re: Countdown mentions on other shows

Susie Dent is a guest on BBC 6 Music this afternoon, on Liz Kershaw's show 1-3 pm sometime. Edit: Shortly after 2pm, apparently.

Got the shock of my life last night watching Harry Hill's TV Burp (as you do) to see that the Widders has her own quiz show on Sky Atlantic. How misguided is that? As you can probably imagine, the clips he showed were truly cringeworthy. http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj545/kevdman/emoticons/em...

CAT... started another letters round today, though I didn't hear any sniggering.

Bottom left, bottom right etc was the clue, but I still haven't seen the pesky thing! :roll:

If they remain unclaimed, there are charities out there that will recycle them for those in need - easily found on the internet.

I guess I'm not looking hard enough, coz I still haven't seen it. All those letters and numbers are a bit distracting!

Re: Countdown cat ?!

Got me puzzled too (though today is the first I'd heard it).

Somebody else should have a better idea though....

CHANNEL 4 +1 AND ONWARDS ... same as above plus: You guys are so critical! I really enjoyed Nick's early banter n chit chat, and his dryness of humour and droll demeanour really add a new frisson.
