Episode ZD6

From Countdown

Episode ZD6 was broadcast live on Monday 27 April 2020, as part of ZoomDown Series 1.

In the first game, defending champion Eoin Jackson played Series 79 runner-up Martin May to see who would face Apterite Fred W in the second game of the evening.

Note that due to technical difficulties, Rounds 8 to 13 of Game 1 were not recorded, therefore the recap is based on the contestants' notes.
