Dr. Linda Barrett was an early member of the Countdown team.
She held a similar role to Carol Vorderman, acting on an alternating basis with her as the vital statistician for the first two series; during Series 1 for example, Barrett appeared on the Monday and Wednesday episodes with Vorderman handling the numbers games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But Barrett's career was short-lived, as Vorderman ultimately replaced her then.
Due to gaps in the archives, it cannot be fully ascertained for which episodes she did and which Vorderman did. But it is thought that Barrett made around forty appearances.
Following her departure: she moved onto other interests, got married and had children before she sadly passed away from a short illness [1].
