Series 86

From Countdown
Revision as of 17:14, 17 August 2022 by CountdownChloe (talk | contribs)

Series 86 is the current series of Countdown and the last to feature Anne Robinson as presenter, with most editions presented by Colin Murray. Les Dennis and Jenny Eclair also recorded episodes as guest presenters. This series the first of any kind, including Catsdown, to have more than 2 presenters.

Susie Dent did not appear in the first three episodes, due to contracting COVID-19. Robert Rinder sat in as guest lexicographer during her absence.

After announcing her immediate departure from the show on 2 May 2022, Anne Robinson's last episode aired on 13 July 2022. Murray temporarily took over from 14 July 2022, and will continue to present until at least November 2022, as confirmed on his Twitter feed. However it remains to be seen if he will present beyond this, either temporarily or permanently. When Murray did return, however, so too did the starter button and 9-letter teatime teasers. In addition, Murray began selecting who declared first based on who he thought got there first, rather than sticking to traditional order.

Murray contracted COVID-19 on the Monday of his second recording block. As a result, that day's guest, former Family Fortunes presenter Les Dennis, took over presenting duties for the Monday and Tuesday recording days, a period spanning 4-15 August 2022 on screen, with his Coronation Street co-actor Daniel Brocklebank brought in as an emergency stand-in for the first three of these episodes; Drawers Off presenter Jenny Eclair also presented four episodes broadcast between 16-22 August 2022.

Apterites Graham Harrison, Edward Byrne and Damian McEvoy have appeared so far, with fellow Apterites John Aziz, Jack Davies, Joseph Bartram, Niall Waters, Tom Stevenson, Sean Mowat and Christy Cooper due to appear later on.
