Revision as of 18:29, 9 August 2023 by MikeLee (talk | contribs)

Series 88 is the current series of Countdown, and the fourth series to feature Colin Murray as presenter. It began on 30 June 2023, and will conclude in December.

Adrian Clarke, who won the final preliminary match of Series 87, returned to continue his run in the first heat of this series.

Episode 8056 was broadcast five minutes earlier at 14:05 to accommodate the live second practice of the 2023 British Grand Prix.

Apterites Tom Swain, Harry Savage and Sam Hughes have appeared in this series.

This series will see former presenter Jeff Stelling in Dictionary Corner for the week from 21–25 August, marking his first appearance on the show since he left the presenter role in 2011.

Since Series 60, players are sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums are not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points are sorted by the number of conundrums correctly guessed, then highest single-game score.
