Special episode
From Countdown
Revision as of 00:31, 13 December 2014 by JRTerrier24 (talk | contribs)
A special episode is an episode that is not part of the main Countdown series, but is shown to fill a gap in the Channel 4 schedule – typically due to an unexpected absence of cricket or racing – or occasionally for some other reason.
