I simply don't understand the fascination with this. What are they supposed to do instead of treating each programme as separate day?

Simple. Do as they do on, for instance, Eggheads, and just keep quiet about saying it's Monday, Tuesday etc. or pretending it's someone's birthday when it isn't.
Eggheads is different anyway because its series are often repeated months or years later so it's made with that market in mind. Countdown generally isn't repeated past the week of its initial transmission. |

Maybe they should put a warning up at the start of Eastenders and Corrie and say it's not really Christmas, easter, or whatever cos this was filmed weeks ago

I didn't think it would be long before someone complained about Lesley. Personally, I think she is a gorgeous,lovely lady with a terrific voice. She's been away from Countdown for too long.

Seems as though my mute button will be working overtime this week when it's the turn of the guest in Dictionary Corner. ![]() I thought from what Lesley said at the start of the programme she was going to tell a cricket story, but sadly not to be. Quote:

Lesley may well be a gorgeous lovely lady, but she needs to cut down the trilling on a non-singing show.

Granted Lesley is a good singer, but the sound of her combined with that smug look on her face is irritating.

I don't understand the negativity towards Lesley Garret. She's a singer and she sings, much better than the boring anecdotes we usually get from the guests.
And she sings well, far better than the noise we get from most of the reality show contestants! |

There are very few guests I don't FF through these days but for this one I am poised with my finger on the button even before the first numbers game is explained. Can't stand her; can't explain why.
Hammond is another one that gets the same treatment. I did enjoy JSP last week and Chris Packham who I'd never heard of before. Angela Rippon was disappointing, for a consummate professional she seemed to have spent no time preparing her anecdotes to tell them to best effect and her mangling of Eric Morecambe's exchange with Andre Previn was unforgivable. Everybody of a certain age watching knew the line by heart, but she didn't. |

Was I the only person to get an eight-letter word from
A B E I R T T S X (sorry, I can't remember the order the letters appeared on-screen, so I've listed them alphabetically.)

Rachel looking gorgeous and 'virginal' in white today. And a rather large breasted lady contestant in a low cut top!

I'm quite bemused by the people that say Lesley Garret sounds awful. Who on earth do they think sounds good?
