From Countdown
Revision as of 22:57, 25 June 2020 by Launchballer (talk | contribs) (+comment)

According to Hello Magazine, a prior recording session took place without an audience due to a snowstorm. Do we know which episodes these were?--Launchballer 22:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, these were back in 2010. JackH 15:36, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Episode 4974 was the 1st.

Comfirmation from Damian Eadie across Aptochat and ZoomDown YouTube chat: when Countdown returns, the mechanical conundrum board will be replaced with a digital, CGI-animated counterpart. The conundrum and solution will still roll like the mechanical one did, it’ll just be amimated like the teasers are. This will make conundrums much easier to set up, the letters can’t fall off or be upside down. Mclarenguy22 22:14, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Update regarding filming resumption from Damian (John Beresford): https://www.apterous.org/chat.php?jumptime_hour=16&jumptime_mins=50&jump_day=24&jump_month=06&jump_year=2020 "We're hoping to film in July, the 11th in think? And the likelihood is, the series will run to the end of 2020."

Announced by Damian Eadie in live ZoomDown chat, Countdown to return on screen on 10th of August (barring any potential escalation on hibernation measures); so no more repeats after 7 August. That’s the plan. Mclarenguy22 19:31, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I sincerely hope they extend the finals to accommodate the longer series.--Launchballer 22:57, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
