Countdown in a parallel universe

Mar162010

Did you see it yesterday? It's still on channel4.com

Was I hallucinating or was Countdown weird on channel4 yesterday? We watch on 4od / channel4.com most days, and they had taken a break from the recent series tournament for a one off. OR, I dreamed it. Several changes, first they brought back the two previous series finalists for a one off battle. Two they had someone I'd never heard of in dictionary corner, a song writer who worked with Elton John (but was not Bernie Taupin I don't think). Thirdly, they'd changed the numbers game, the big numbers were 37 and 12 instead of the usual 25, 50, 75, and 100. WELL WEIRD.
