The font that was used, was called Egyptienne (well this is one of names the font could be called - there's probably other names) and I quite liked it. Also the consonants were in the left box and vowels were in the right box.Brian Whitworth wrote:It looks so dated!! I can't beleive that contestant is only 28, and Cathy Hytner does not look comfortable at all doing the letters -- and look at the font!!! and they dont even label the boxes she picks from!

Excellent, another contender for "Countdowner who looks most uncannily like a cartoon character":Brian Whitworth wrote:It looks so dated!! I can't beleive that contestant is only 28

Geoff Andrews : Ned Flanders
This clip also puts paid to the oft-repeated myth about Carol being the first woman to appear on Channel 4. Even discounting the women in the audience, that honour actually goes to Mary, Ted Moult's "assistant".

Why would he Google Jeff Andrews to find a picture of Jim MacDonald?Jason Larsen wrote:Do you mean Jeff Andrews?
Comparing these 2 events is ludicrous. The moon landing is nowhere near as significantGavin Chipper wrote:Richard's thing about a countdown to a new channel ending and a brand new Countdown beginning reminds me of Neil Armstrong's first words on the moon.
The clues were there...Jason Larsen wrote:I don't even know who Jim MacDonald is, but he does look a lot like Jeff!
or a young Jim McDonald off coronation street!
He looks even more like !GEOFF!Jason Larsen wrote:I don't even know who Jim MacDonald is, but he does look a lot like Jeff!
No break - even though it's on ITV. At least you can just tune in at any time to see what's going on in "the street".jeff wharton wrote:He looks even more like !GEOFF!Jason Larsen wrote:I don't even know who Jim MacDonald is, but he does look a lot like Jeff!
Thats the English way of spelling my name.
Coronation Street is a British soap opera that has been running since 1960 without a break.
It's good to know you share our painJason Larsen wrote:Thank you for the information, Brian!
Jeff, I do know what Coronation Street is. We get CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation since we are so close to the Canadian border and it comes on every weeknight at 7:00.
It is followed by US Jeopardy.
AH sorry, I didn't realise you weren't in the UK! lol,Jason Larsen wrote:Thank you for the information, Brian!

Well, you looked SO British on your pic, my eyes didn't think they even needed to wander south to check out your location.Jason Larsen wrote:Brian...
Is that pic you Jason? I'd just assumed it was Harry Potter since I first saw it, I don't know why. It probably looks nothing like him (I have less than zero interest in that little cock of a wizard).Brian Whitworth wrote:Well, you looked SO British on your pic, my eyes didn't think they even needed to wander south to check out your location.Jason Larsen wrote:Brian...
Oh, so you saw Equus too, eh?Matt Morrison wrote:I have less than zero interest in that little cock of a wizard
