'''Robina Sharp''' was the "[[numbers game|numbers]] girl" on the [[Calendar Countdown Pilots|''Calendar Countdown'' pilots]]. Her solitary role was to be wheeled out twice a show to put the numbers tiles up and pull a lever. She did not speak, with [[Richard Whiteley]] reading out the choices, presumably in an exercise of saving money, which is odd considering that a better money-saving exercise would have been to have [[Cathy Hytner]] do both jobs.


In April 2016, he attended his first Co-event - [[Countdown in Leeds 2016]] - followed up in May 2016 by his attendance at [[Countdown in King's Lynn 2016]], which he won. He beat [[Series 69]] champion [[Callum Todd]] in the final on a tie-break conundrum, having been 20 points adrift earlier in the game.
Amazingly, the concept of a numbers girl survived with [[Beverley Isherwood]] for a full two years before the concept was finally axed.

Robina Sharp was the "numbers girl" on the Calendar Countdown pilots. Her solitary role was to be wheeled out twice a show to put the numbers tiles up and pull a lever. She did not speak, with Richard Whiteley reading out the choices, presumably in an exercise of saving money, which is odd considering that a better money-saving exercise would have been to have Cathy Hytner do both jobs.

Amazingly, the concept of a numbers girl survived with Beverley Isherwood for a full two years before the concept was finally axed.
