Re: Spoilers for Thursday 1st December 2016
First day of Advent. Time to open your calendars. And play Countdown! (And post your spoilers here) That's almost as bad as calling the day before Easter Day "Easter Saturday". Of course it is the fifth day of Advent and the first day of December. I guess they start calendars on the first...

Re: Spoilers for Monday 17th October 2016
My stomach told me it was Countdown time at 14:10, but my brain forgot the change and I didn't sit down until 15:10, by
which time luckily they had uploaded the episode.
Nice that all the targets were multiples of 12 today - 77x12 was the neat way to get to 924 after the 73x12 round.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 29th September
Of course the players would have had it flip over - our bit of the screen is added in post-production usually - you
will have probably seen then filming the conundrum reveal again after the show.
However maybe it was to go with the very easy numbers rounds?
