The link doesn't work and if it's the fucking PISSFLAPS clip again then I will kill you. Just so you know.

Link works for me, and don't be vulgar Charlie - no it's not. :evil:

It's when the contestant let Carol choose the letters.

Ah, I must've missed that one, nice.

It's funny how "1 large and 5 of your choice" in the numbers has come to mean "1 large and 5 small of your choice"... i've always hoped that Carol/Rachel would one day just wang a couple of extra large numbers in of her choice :-)

Haha, I like that one. There are many funny bloopers on youtube, but don't be fooled by the one Charlie mentioned, which is clearly edited! It would be funny if Rachel did choose 3 other large numbers! :D

Nice find.

I find it amusing how in the comments someone tries to be a smart arse by giving the probability of the word COUNTDOWN coming up on the show, clearly ignoring the fact that there aren't an equal number of each letter in the tileset. Not only that but, if I'm right (and it is early in the morning), he's also assuming that once a letter comes out in Countdown you can use it any number of times, á la Countdown Unlimited on Apterous. I suppose that's what goes for a "mathematician" in YouTube comments though...

It did come up once.It was used as a conundrum when Richard was still on the Show.
I remember that one where Carol chooses the letters then throws away the Q.I thought it funny at the time.

I've seen that before, and yes, Carol is a lovely lady!
