You just noticed that after 30 years? It's always been that way on Countdown.

Because it's been like that since the beginning of this version as well.
How many times have they had a impossible target? Twice? So I didn't pick up on it. |

And do they give the scoring system at the start of every show?

I watched an old episode the other night which featured Vic Reeves in dictionary corner.
Jimmy asked if he had made up any words and Vic went on to tell an anecdote about his wife making up words when dealing with their kids. I was surprised that Reeves, Carr or one of the others didn't give a mention to two very famous made up words. Iranu and Uvavu. Maybe Bob or someone else invented then and he didn't want to take the credit. |

Back on this Friday (5th September) at 9pm. It's the first of three new episodes.
Guests are David Mitchell and Roisin Conaty with Phill Jupitus in dictionary corner. Unfortunately, Joe Wilkinson is still there

He's not 'helping' in the second episode, according to this: http://digiguide.tv/programme-detail...own/Quiz+Show/
C4's 80s Night is back too by the looks of it, with the final episode being an '80s special'. |

![]() I can't honestly see any logical reason why he continues to be included in that show. I fully appreciate that comedy is subjective and they probably think his contributions are funny but it really spoils the entire flow of the show for me. Still, at least that's what Sky Plus is for I suppose .. |

But for the last time though. On Friday 12th:

Maybe he's in the first episode so they can give him some kind of send-off. |

Oh, FFS! What will he pretend to be too thick to understand this time? Any number higher than 3? What a vowel is?

Let's hope it's his last time, can't see any details about the guests for the third episode.
Maybe he's in the first episode so they can give him some kind of send-off. |

I'm sure (though I'm not at home to check) that my Sky+ (or the TV mag) said this Friday was episode 1 of 10.
Anyway, not a great fan of Joe Wilkinson but could be worse, they could have Joey Es........oh, they do have Joey Essex on there. Would rather they have Postman Pat than him. No, I'm not joking. Oh and good to see David Baddiel on there, I quite like him to be honest, but maybe that's more because he did Three Lions and Three Lions 98. Got no problem with Alex Horne and the Horne Section being on though, quite enjoyed them on the show in the past. |

I think I noticed something for the first time the other night.
In the numbers round the target was impossible and so the closest gets the 7 points. You get 10 points for hitting the target, but if the target is impossible then there's no chance of getting 10 points. Bit of a bummer if you need those extra three points to have any chance of winning the game.

The previous series was originally going to be 6 episodes but they tagged on filming for another 2 episodes but only broadcast 7 of those. They film two episodes per evening so the first episode this time would have been filmed the same day as episode 7 from the last series. Then episode 2 and 3 this time would have filmed the same evening on a later date so if Joe's missing from episode 2 he's unlikely to appear in episode 3, unless he got on the wrong train or something and Alex Horne had arrived early for the second filming.
I'm sure Rachel's pleased for him...
