Series 87
Series 87 is the current series of Countdown. It began 23 January 2023, following Championship of Champions XVI, and is expected to conclude in June. It is the third series to feature Colin Murray as host, and the first full series to feature him in the hosting role.
On 11 January 2023, on Steph's Packed Lunch, it was officially announced that Murray was the new permanent host. He is understood to be on a two-year contract, retaining his role until at least the end of 2024.
Apterites Peter Burke and Cillian McMulkin have so far appeared in this series; the former won the last 5 heat games of the previous series and carried over his unbeaten run.
