Carol and Des with the 25th birthday cake

Episode 4473 was broadcast on 2 November 2007, as part of Series 57, and was a special episode commemorating the 25th anniversary of the first televised episode of Countdown. The first ever episode was shown immediately before the game, and notable celebrities were chosen to select the letters and numbers, rather than Wills and Travers selecting them themselves.

Chris Wills played Conor Travers, with Conor Travers winning 69 – 58. The game is notable as being the only 12-round game in Countdown history. The episode also didn't feature a Dictionary Corner guest, although Alison Heard was the lexicographer, nor any Teatime Teasers.
