This episode aired on the date of the announcement of the death of Prince Philip. Oddly, no mention of this was made in the continuity announcements surrounding the program.

Ratings for this episode were higher than usual, as no other non-news programmes aired on a terrestrial channel at the time due to BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 5 clearing their schedules to cover the death of Prince Philip.
 
 
Unlike suspending programming as BBC One, BBC Two, and ITV had done, Channel 4 was heavily criticised for airing ''Countdown''. [https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1420992/Channel-4-backlash-Prince-Philip-death-schedule-Come-Dine-with-Me-video]
