...and no, it's not CUNTFLAPS. (Sorry Kai.)

It's this. Circa 1999, Richard and Carol found themselves heavily delayed in reaching Leeds and boredom threatened to ravish the studio audience. Cue Greg Scott in the presenter's chair, Diane Barr the production secretary putting up letters and writing down numbers solutions, and perhaps best of all our contestants are Damian Weedy and the late Michael Wylie as... Michael Arafat. No, really.

Well worth ten minutes of your time, if only for Damian's numbers selection at 4:46 and the 'special' round at 5:26.

And the doctored '4' logo at the very beginning.

I hope Damian has finished his chewing gum by now!

I think the hamster joke is what made it for me.

That's the sort of Countdown episode that appears in my dreams when I have a fever.

That was fantastic!
Ta muchly for posting the link.

That was hilarious! I would have loved to have seen the uncut version. The conundrum was superb too.

Truly quality. So funny especially the eternally long round. Loved it, good find.

Unbelievably brilliant.

Leave it to Greg!

You know what? I hadn't even noticed that!!

What is Greg Scott doing now?

Brilliant! Just been posted an hour ago.

Totally unrelated to Countdown but this is great.

Nice find Chris.

There was a Christmas special between Carol and Richard, but does anyone know if there would be one between Jeff and Rachel?

Jeff would batter her.

You are very funny, Charlie!

And Jimmy, you are so right! Britney, I know you can't hear me but don't have any more children!

Hurrah, I'm on youtube now!

Haha who put the "you've just been kirkulated" comment on?

Very good!

And Kai, you're funny!

How many times has anyone made a big deal out of it?

The more the merrier! (ie. keep them coming)

Kai, nothing against you, honestly!

In fact, I don't remember, did you say you didn't want to be on any other game show besides Countdown?

Finally, a show involving Conor has been uploaded to Youtube. Clip 1 of 4 starts here:

It's in the days of him not having had his voice broken yet. After hearing Conor many times since he recorded I couldn't remember what he sounded like on his octorun and now I can! Sounds soooo young! I'd love to have footage to hear how I sounded aged about 12.

Nice find, Kirk.

countdowngoofs is a god. Des really took a shine to Conor it seems.

It was a bit of a weird question that Des asked just after 2 minutes: "How ambitious would you be to win the whole thing?" Conor looked a bit confused by it I thought.

It's a totally ambiguous question. Based on his reaction, I think Deso meant "How much do you want to win the whole thing?" whereas Conor interpreted it as "How difficult do you think it would be?" So Conor was being modest (as ever) and Deso was being incomprehensible (...).

Legend...you haven't aged a day, Jono. You smirked as soon as 209 was declared, was that because you knew immediately that the flair was forthcoming?

Yes. 100+75+10-10-6.

Jon O'Neill wrote:Yes. 100+75+10-10-6.

That's 169. You suck.

I'd like to see the other parts of Jono's Quarter final but can't find them. Can anyone help?

Go to countdowngoof's page and you'll get this and so much more.

A bit of Hansfording going on here and he admits it:

He hasn't got the famous Hansford reaction times though.
