Cathy Hytner (or Kathy Hytner, as it seems that nobody can agree on exactly how to spell her name) was Countdown's original letters girl.
She came to Channel 4 along with Richard Whiteley from the Yorkshire TV pilot series, Calendar Countdown.
From Series 3, she also put up the numbers. Angela O'Dougherty stood in for Hytner for five episodes at the end of Series 2.
Hytner left in 1987 and emigrated to France. She seemed to have largely been airbrushed out of the official history of the show which was a shame as in the early years, she was far more the female face of the show than Carol Vorderman was. Hytner was replaced by Karen Loughlin.
Hytner reappeared in One Last Consonant Please, Carol (a tribute show to Vorderman).
