Latest revision as of 18:57, 11 March 2022
Series 15 ran from April 1988 to June 1988. The fifteenth of 53 series presented by Richard Whiteley, it was won by Dick Green.
This was probably the strongest series of the 1980s. For the first time in Countdown history – and the only ever time in that decade – two octochamps played against each other in the Grand Final. The final was very close, and even controversial in that runner-up Allan Saldanha had his offering of YOLKED wrongly disallowed. Although the conundrum, solved by Green, would still have been crucial even if it had been allowed, Saldanha was given his own copies of the Oxford English Dictionary – identical to Green's prize – on the grounds that the disallowed word may have affected the prodigy's psychology under pressure.
