Countdown

For those who don't know it, this is a TV show for the crossword puzzling populous. There are basically 3 games, one involving random letters, one involving random numbers, and a 9 letter anagram.
Last week, whilst watching Rob Brydon's documentary "Identity Crisis" he made a joke about the Welsh Countdown.
"Consonant please. Consonant please. Another consonant please. Hmmmm, consonant please..." etc etc. This got me thinking about my all time favourite countdown episode. Not the one where Carol Vorderman spelt out shit, but the one where Noel Edmonds played a practical joke on Richard Whiteley. The jokes are priceless, and Richard Whiteley's reactions are comedy gold.

Enjoy.
