Revision as of 13:55, 19 July 2021
Series 84 is the current series of Countdown and the first series presented by Anne Robinson, following Nick Hewer's retirement. It began on 28 June 2021 and will conclude in December. Recordings commenced on 24 May. One edition on 10 September will be part of Channel 4's "Black To Front" and will feature an all-black on-screen cast. It remains unknown whether this episode will be a special episode or part of the normal series.
Due to Channel 4's live coverage of Friday Practice and Qualifying sessions of the 2021 British Grand Prix, no edition of Countdown was shown on 16 July. When the programme returns on 19 July, Susie Dent will miss ten episodes due to COVID-19 protocols; the guests will adjudicate words in her place. This will mark her first absence from the show since 2008.
Rachel Riley announced her second pregnancy on 14 April 2021. It remains to be seen what effect this will have on the show; her first simply saw recordings of Series 82 accelerate and then pause for three and a half months. However, given that this meant that the show was only a month and a bit ahead of broadcast at the time of the first COVID-19 lockdown, combined with the fact that they will have to film an episode without her for Black To Front day, means they may just film with her replacement during her second pregnancy; the fact that ten episodes from this series will be missing Susie Dent may mean they opt not to replace her.
The series is set to see many celebrities making their debuts as guest in Dictionary Corner. From this series onwards, the long-outdated prize of twenty volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary has been abolished, but the series winner will still have their name engraved on the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy. Another feature of the show that has been removed is the clock starter button: to accommodate for Anne's height, the clock is now started in the gallery.
The 7,549th episode, broadcast on 12 July, marked the first-ever all-female episode of the regular weekday version of Countdown, after more than 38 and a half years on the air. The first-ever all-female episode of any version was on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, first shown on 13 July 2018.
Regardless of COVID-19 restrictions, studio audiences will not be returning for any future editions of the programme in any form; this is understood to be a cost-cutting exercise. [1] Meanwhile, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown has since filmed editions with socially-distanced audiences.
Apterites Roger Peak, Juliet Hedge and Florence Cappleman-Lynes have participated so far, with Apterites due to take part in this series including Thomas Lock, Patrick Welsh, Jason Dias, Shireen Hibs, Steven Grady and Mike Lee.
