Goody bag

The goody bag is the colloquial term for the prizes given to contestants after they have appeared on Countdown. The prizes are different depending on whether the player won a game, or even made the Series finals. The current goody bag includes:

• Countdown board game
• Countdown electronic game
• Oxford Dictionary of English - which one depends on whether the player wins a game or not.
• Countdown T-shirt, blue with a small white and yellow Countdown logo on it.
• Countdown coaster (drinks mat)
• Countdown mug
• Susie Dent's The language report, a book analysing the English language.
• A teapot, reserved for players who win at least one game.

Prizes for finalists are usually trophies of some sort, such as an engraved silver tray or a cut-glass trophy. Series winners get the full Oxford Dictionary of English.
