It’s been a staple of early afternoon TV viewing since 1982 and in it’s 70th series Countdown has entered been handed a Guinness World Record with the title of “most series broadcast for a TV game show”. On Friday, the venerable Channel 4 word and numbers puzzler airs its 6,000th show and presenters Nick Hewer, Rachel Riley and Susie Dent will be officially given the award. Over the years, the show has delighted viewers with unintentional (we think) swearwords, with 2012 being particularly bountiful with this offering and also this one; but it is probably the late Richard Whiteley’s anecdotes and terrible puns for which it will be most fondly remembered. So, in tribute to the show, any good anagrams for Guinness World Record? Monkey could only come up with Surrender Dogs Clown. Oh well, at least it’s not rude.
