 '''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 [[episode 1|first ever episode]] was shown immediately before the game, and notable celebrities were chosen to select the letters and numbers, rather than the contestants selecting them themselves. The episode also included special messages from Julie Andrews and Gordon Brown, a brief montage of outtakes, and a repeat of a [[Richard Whiteley]] anecdote from [[Episode 3688]] as a tribute to Richard.
