Countdown Memorabilia

[Dame Eadie]

Found loads of old photos during a clear out today.
I'll upload some stuff over the coming days, the majority of which has never been seen before.

[Dame Eadie]

Any clues on how to upload a photo?

Has to be.

Interested to know if there's ever been any contestants born in the 19th century as well.

Yep - right guest

[Dame Eadie]

Yes it's Bertha Bourne.

[Marc Meakin]

Quality photos.

[Elliott Mellor]

Really cool topic.

Bertha Bourne lived a decade after that picture, too - dying in February 2004, aged 97.

[Tracey Anne Mills]

Please keep these coming !

[Fiona T]

"Bertha appeared on Countdown ten years ago and cherished a photograph taken of her with Carol Vorderman, showing that she could still kick her foot above her head at the age of 87."

Would love to see that pic!

Please keep these coming !

Got plenty more, but can't be arsed

Have some DVDs and VHS that need digitizing.......Jeff Stellings screen test, Noel Edmonds screen test, Alexander Armstrong.....it's all here.
I even found a reggae copy of the Countdown music played on steel drums.

Cant get the reggae theme tune out of my head and I haven't even heard it.

Hope you or someone can digitise and upload these screen tests or are you saving them up for Countdowns 50th?

[Dame Eadie]

I'll be long gone before any 50th.

[Marc Meakin]

I'll be long gone before any 50th.

You or the programme?
Would you care to elucidate?

[Dame Eadie]

Me of course, hence "I'll"

But if you go the show is doomed

[Rhys Benjamin]

What we don't know is that's what Sky's show "Succession" is all about: who will succeed Eadie to become the next series producer of Countdown?

Thanks for sharing, these are really cool! I imagine there are several CD community members who would be willing and/or delighted to dig through and digitize some of this stuff...
