Countdown

granfromafar I've just watched the first 2 episodes featuring Ciaran. Wow... amazing performances!

Thanks so much for the kind comments. If thus appears under a different username, apologies, but I had trouble logging in at one point and registered under a new name (avocado fan?), but it was me!
It aired on Friday 5th and Monday 8th September. It was nerve-wracking but I was so relieved to have won 1 game. Everyone in the studio, including the people behind the scenes, were so lovely and friendly and supportive. Keep watching this week and next to see Ciaron, he was amazing.

Didn't see these shows, didn't know about it. But well done for coping with the lights and pressure!

I don't mind the show for a little while, but I grew to hate Scrabble when I was little (we didn't have a telly, so it was a popular board game on a wet weekend!). The principle is OK (I'm fine with crosswords) but the way most folk seem to play is just Soooooooo irritating!

Well done, Jan! I'm a big Countdown fan and had made a note to watch this when it was first mentioned on GN. You were unlucky to get so close on the second programme but I'm pleased you went home with a teapot!

I have just watched both episodes with Jan in on All4. What a lovely lady and so clever.

She did very well to win against such a strong contestant the first time and the second time she put up a very good fight.

Highly impressive.

It was definitely on this afternoon and must have been on last Friday as Jan was in the previous round winners chair

I would like to watch 🙋‍♀️

When is/was it? I would like to watch it, on All4 if necessary. I am sure other GNs would like to see it too.

Me too, well done

Wrote it on my calendar when you first mentioned it .
