The Prize Presentation in the Grand Final of Series 79.

Mike Daysley holding the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy after winning Series 79.

Series 79 ran from 25 June 2018 to 21 December 2018. The fourteenth of 18 series presented by Nick Hewer. It was won by number two seed Mike Daysley, who defeated the number one seed Martin May on a crucial conundrum in the Grand Final. This ended a run of five successive series won by the number one seed.

During the second quarter of the series, for the first time in Countdown history, three octochamps appeared in immediate succession, with Adam Rolston, Tony Manwani and Dave Ashton compiling successive eight-game runs. Two further octochamps, Robin Johnson and Mike Daysley, then each appeared after gaps of just one game. Furthermore, octochamp Martin May – the only 800 club member of this series – appeared after a gap of just two games. The highest score of this series was 117, the lowest ever for a "new" 15-round series.

Episode 6959 was broadcast on Saturday 24 November at 2:45pm, immediately following live coverage of the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix qualifying session, due to the practice sessions of the event instead being broadcast the day before. This makes it the first "Saturday Countdown" since 2006, when a handful of episodes in Series 54 aired on Saturdays due to increased ratings at the time. With the exception of the British Grand Prix, from 2019, Channel 4 lost the rights to show any Formula One practice sessions at all, meaning these interruptions would not be present in future series.

Seed table

Rank	Name	Wins	Points
1	Martin May	8	839
2	Mike Daysley	8	786
3	Andrew Jackson	8	764
4	Dave Ashton	8	739
5	Tony Manwani	8	715
6	Alan Duval	8	674
7	Adam Rolston	8	650
8	Bob Lunt	7	726

NOTE: Robin Johnson, with eight wins and 745 points, had qualified for the finals as #4 seed but was unable to appear, so Bob Lunt took his place. Since Series 60, players are sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums are not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points are sorted by the number of conundrums correctly guessed, then highest single-game score.

+During the second quarter of the series, for the first time in ''[[Countdown]]'' history, three [[octochamp]]s appeared in immediate succession, with [[Adam Rolston]], [[Tony Manwani]] and [[Dave Ashton]] compiling successive eight-game runs. Two further octochamps, [[Robin Johnson]] and Mike Daysley, then each appeared after gaps of just one game. Furthermore, octochamp Martin May – the only [[800 club]] member of this series – appeared after a gap of just two games. The highest score of this series was 117, the lowest ever for a [[15 round format (new)|"new" 15-round]] series.
+[[Episode 6959]] was broadcast on Saturday 24 November at 2:45pm, immediately following live coverage of the {{w|2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix}} qualifying session, due to the practice sessions of the event instead being broadcast the day before. [[Episode 4077|This makes it the first "Saturday ''Countdown''" since 2006]], when a handful of episodes in [[Series 54]] aired on Saturdays due to increased ratings at the time. With the exception of the {{w|British Grand Prix}}, from 2019, [[Channel 4]] lost the rights to show any {{w|Formula One}} practice sessions at all, meaning these interruptions would not be present in future series.
