Oh, we don't watch them for the spelling or maths. We watch them to watch people get the spelling and maths wrong, and then judge them whilst pretending we would have gotten them right
@@chrispop99 And having watched it the presenters are very condescending. 'If you knew your x times table....'. I think Countdown is a much better format.
I live in the States and started watching 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown a couple of years back. And, of course, Susie's on that show, too. I came across this link th-cam.com/video/EsAIgVxXeiQ/w-d-xo.html which is Susie's first appearance on Countdount back in 1992. Even today, she's still lovely as ever.
Oh yeah it was super easy, I could've solved it easily on TV in front of millions of viewers. Their ego simply got the better of them. If they only were as smart and cool as me and you :)
@@NotoriousWhistler Hello Matt. Super to hear from you. If you are judging Colin by Anne's standards then you may have a point. I'm judging Colin by all the previous Countdown hosts, and he presents as if he is commentating on a Sports match. Okay for a bit, but gets increasingly tiresome. Any other enlightening comments you wish to add - do feel free?
@@Clavinovaman Hey Gary, hoping this message find you well. I was just wondering, is ‘do feel free’ a question? Furthermore I think Matt’s comment was indeed enlightening to read: an obvious yet necessary response. I quite like this host, he’s rather humorous and lighthearted, though perhaps that’s my 8OO10C bias speaking; I can see why he could potentially be tiresome for fans of the original show. Hope you don’t mind my feeling free to add my comment! Good day to you.
A long time since I've seen Countdown. Richard Whiteley was in the chair when I last watched it. It has to be said, Susie Dent is still the sexy beastie of dictionary corner! Purrrrrr.
Be careful. 'LC' - ie language correctness - is NOT appreciated. Especially by those who are too ignorant to even know they're ignorant and too arrogant to accept / admit they're wrong. My generation would say '10 times 20', but NEVER 'times it by'. JOOI - can someone tell me the different tense-forms of the verb 'to times'?
The GAME has an Irish accent?! 😱🤔 Is that possible?! Did you mean the 'game has an Irish theme'?! Or perhaps you meant 'why would you (sic) have someone with an Irish accent front a game', hmmm?! To ensure clarity of meaning, it's VERY important to ensure the 'modifier' (adverb, adjective) is placed as close as possible to the word / phrase (verb, noun) it is intended to 'modify'. Otherwise the sentence risks ending up as just illogical gobbledygook. 😉😊😇

After watching 8OO10CDC so much, I forget that there’s an actual show that’s just Countdown. 😀
I love that people in the UK love spelling and maths enough to have multiple tv shows about them
Oh, we don't watch them for the spelling or maths. We watch them to watch people get the spelling and maths wrong, and then judge them whilst pretending we would have gotten them right
@@cyber_rachel7427 Now it all makes sense lol
Actually Countdown is derived from a French TV show, Des chiffres et des lettres, which has been running continually since 1965.

@@gillchatfield3231 what version have you watched? the 40-year-long presenters have been fired and there’s new ones since september.
Suzie Dent - beauty and brains.
The whole package.
Susie is awesome!
She is sexual
The lady contestant was blind and played very well
Very sweet lady, too.
Was blind? That show is a miracle ;P
I'm just watching this for my celebrity crush on Susie Dent.
"Ms. Dentakles" :D
Always creeps me out seeing real countdown after watching so much 8/10CDC.
0:44 That isnt a countdown first, as that used to be the standard rule before they changed it to showing the other contestant.
It's like my cricket team, batsmen want to be bowlers and viceversa
although i have never seen Colin Murray host Countdown before... i think i want him to host permanently
Well... Good news I guess, he's been the permanent host for some time now...
@@NotoriousWhistler WAY better than the others.
Nice one Susie 🙂
she's so mother
I must marry Susie Dent! She is the whole package!
I love Susie AND Rachel
Same here 😊🤗
I preferred carol vordermon
@@donjohn2695 Is that the pokemon version of carol vorderman?

First time I'm able to solve one of these.
10x8x1 = 800
(10-1) x 3 = 27
800-27 = 773
EDIT: I'm stupid
10x8 is 80 not 800, don’t worry i did the same 🤣🤣
@@buddythedog29 wtf???
How did I miss that???
😂😂😂
I love that the answer was so simple. The contestants were trying too hard to be clever.
Oh yeah it was super easy, I could've solved it easily on TV in front of millions of viewers. Their ego simply got the better of them. If they only were as smart and cool as me and you :)
@@incogneeto2418 Simple and easy are not the same thing, and Susie has been on TV for a long time.
Dictionary corner beauty
I haven't seen such a small team . What has happened ( in NZ )
Small team? This is the normal number of people on normal Countdown.
One host, two competitors, one Dictionary Corner guest, Suzie, and Rachel.
You probably watch the 8 out of 10 cats version, where they play on teams. It's individuals on regular countdown.
What kind of guests are on regular countdown?
Actually funny ones
@@JeremiCzarnecki Ooh, you are such a scamp!
Susie❤❤
Is Colin the new host now?
Yes
Sadly, yes. He was great as a fill in, but as a regular host? Geez!
@@Clavinovaman Yeah, I guess he doesn't have the pizzazz and electric personality of Anne fucking Robinson...

(10+1)(8-1)×10 +3 = 773
Where’s Jimmy?
Shame people on the show say "times it by" rather than "multiply". The former sounds so juvenile.
They are playing a game.
Be careful.

Is jimmy the regular host now or is it still that wretched woman?
if you mean anne robinson she left back in july over money issues as in she wanted more they didnt agree LOL
@@melin1969 yes, I meant ann robinson and colin not jimmy
@@melin1969 she actually left because of wanting to spend more time with her grandchildren and see her house in NY
Jimmy is Cats Does Countdown
Bloody easy and I didn’t need to see her do it
Calm down dear
Anybody can talk tough over a numbers game on here.
Yes, I can't often do these (too lazy to try most of the time), but I was able to do this one.
richard patrick and londonbobby, watch the video again and listen to what Susie says.
Susies the best
who the hell is that host and why would you have someone front a game with an Irish accent ffs
The GAME has an Irish accent?! 😱🤔
Is that possible?!
