Well possibly, but I think what RR said at the end was adequate enough given that there's not much special about celebrating the 36th, though not sure whether you caught it, but the continuity announcer made a reference to it beforehand.Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 2:03 am On Susie's 25 anniversary, Colin showed a clip of Susie's first episode. I hoped that today they'd show when Richard Whiteley said "As the countdown to a brand new channel ends, a brand new countdown begins"

She just stated about the anniversary of the show and C4 with the saying.Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 11:41 amWhat was the reference?Tom S wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 8:18 amWell possibly, but I think what RR said at the end was adequate enough given that there's not much special about celebrating the 36th, though not sure whether you caught it, but the continuity announcer made a reference to it beforehand.Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 2:03 am On Susie's 25 anniversary, Colin showed a clip of Susie's first episode.

Indeed yes, both the s-stammer and the C-cough Chris!Chris Sturdy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 11:49 pm I remember seeing ORATORY immediately after declaring ROTARY and then seeing GYRATORS just as Colin said Susie had found an 8.
Shame I didn't get my ton. That 450 numbers game is cringeworthy to watch back and would have meant 108...
Did you catch my S-stammered today and my *coughs* COUGHS yesterday?
Don't beat yourself up about the numbers, it's always rounds like that where it looks like you'll be fine with the small numbers after 4*100 that trip you up and screw your head!Chris Sturdy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 11:49 pm I remember seeing ORATORY immediately after declaring ROTARY and then seeing GYRATORS just as Colin said Susie had found an 8.

I can't rightly remember. I think I was flagging a bit by then and I was perhaps a tiny bit disappointed there was so little reaction from NH to both of those (it wasn't just that any reaction was edited out, there just wasn't any) that unless a real corker had come up (which I would have remembered) probably not.George Pryn wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 10:48 pm Coughs and stammered were great, any more to look out for?

I think the day of the 36th Countdown anniversary was also amazingly Damian's 5000th episode.
It was really funny, because filming started as ever but Rachel kicked it off with some tribute material to the occasion. Susie and Nick were obviously in on the act and as the anecdotes got more and more ribald and the last bit was Rachel holding a picture up to camera of Damian doing something (sadly, I forget what), it became obvious that this wasn't material that was going to be aired...
And then suddenly, everyone just switched back into Countdown mode and we started the game...
I think all the tribute material got filmed. I wonder if it will ever be made available?

If it was filmed, we will at some point see it. Might not be tomorrow, or this week, or even this year, but it will eventually surface, because stuff like that always does, somehow. That's a good thing; behind the scenes stuff, and things that were cut from broadcast are always good fun.Chris Sturdy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 11:47 am
