- If you enjoyed 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown the first time, for some reason they’re doing it again! And they say there’s no original ideas left. Films 30th July in Manchester.
- Tonight they’re showing a recording of Games Inc in front of an audience – it’s the new Muppet show that began as a chat show and is now a celebrity gameshow. If you go to this, do let us know what it’s like.
“Stand by for Countdown as you’ve never seen it before,”
…except six months ago.
Not sure if you’re aware, but my opponent from Countdown from 2009 is the current champ on Blockbusters right now. He’s got some interesting strategies 🙂
Is he the one that accidentally alienated the audience by going on a money grab during the Gold Run, only to get narked off when he was told he only got the money if he didn’t complete the run.
It’s the one time I’ve seen Simon Mayo snap into that ‘don’t muck about’ persona that Nicholas Parsons always used to talk about when he was doing Sale of the Century.
Yep, that’s the one. 🙂
