Loved watching this so much. Have some great memories of watching Countdown whilst at uni with my lovely flatmates. My favourite roomie sadly passed away recently, so watching this brings back some sweet memories of her and that time. Thank you again ❤

No, the person sat next to Susie Dent in the first minute is has-been comedian and magician Paul Zenon (real name Paul Collins). Not the civilian she was/is married to who you correctly named as Paul Atkins.

You missed the wholesome one where she draws "RILEY" as the first five letters.

On that Jam round at 11:45, I atcually got the word Fuji which is a Japanese battleship lol

[Aussieroth]

Nothing will top "P E N I S D U M P" in the Australian version.

Maybe it's because my American brain, eyes and ears have only watched Cats Does Countdown but damn this list put me to sleep not even halfway through.

How is Susie Dent's 'special spot' not on this list 🤣

I think one of the hosts was an advisor to Lord Sugar on The Apprentice.

You missed out Susie Dent asking Nick Hewer if he'd "come across a teddy?"

[DA-eqyp]

When I went on the show: I roasted Anne Robison (aka The Queen of Mean) when he asked me about me taking her clubbing - I said ‘no’ which got everyone laughing in the studio. (😅)

[robspereall]

I got the word 'panties' when I was a Countdown contestant, quite risque for me.

[harrymaxwell]

What about the guy who used the word 'hentai' 😅

[preservedmoose]

What is a “fail”. Do you mean a failure? Or is it something else?

[mclarenguy]

Please re-upload this video. Susie Dent is definitely not sat to her ex-husband in the first clip. It’s Paul Zenon.

Rachel Riley? Urgh. An awful person. Cannot watch anything with her in it.
