Episode 3000 was broadcast on 27 April 2001, as part of Series 44.
Paul Hawkins played Raymond Reece, with Paul Hawkins winning 51 – 31. The Dictionary Corner guest was Keith Barron, and the lexicographer was Tania Styles.
This episode was specifically billed as the 3000th episode, and on its original transmission, it was followed by the documentary A Tribute to Countdown: 3000 and Counting. This is the only instance to date in which a "thousandth" episode of Countdown has actually been celebrated on the correct day; all others have deviated from the correct day, sometimes by several weeks (e.g., the episode billed as the "6000th" was actually Episode 5987).
