The pencam is a handheld camera shaped like a pen (hence the name) which is used by the Countdown lexicographer to point out words of interest in the dictionary. The word is also highlighted in post-production, the only real post-prod flourish in the otherwise practically as-live show - the letters you see at the bottom of the screen are actually done using a spilt screen camera trick. Occasionally the pencam is used as a close-up camera if the the DC guest brings in something that they want to show to the world.
