Robina Sharp was the numbers girl in 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 as Richard Whiteley read out the choices in presumably 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 before the concept was finally axed.
