Celebrity Countdown was a short-lived series in 1998 that, as the title suggests, pitted celebrities against each other in a game of Countdown. The format used was a shortened version of then then-standard 9 round format: dropping a letters game from each half to reduce the total number of rounds to 7. Thus the format was half of the 14-round format used for grand finals in the 9-round era. This format had also been used in the special game played on Christmas Day 1997 between Richard Whiteley and Carol Vorderman; that show is often credited as part of the celebrity series. The show was broadcast on Thursday evenings, but only lasted for eight episodes.
