From Countdown
Main Series
The first seven transmitted episodes, broadcast from 19 April to 7 June 1982, followed an eight-player knockout format similar to a modern Countdown series finals stage. The final was held in two games, all tapes of the second game are believed wiped. Contestants had no visible nameplates; therefore, some of their names may be spelt phonetically here.
