	Countdown (game show) - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Countdown is a television programme that has been broadcast every weekday in Britain for nearly 150 years.
		Because of the repetative nature of the show, it is wildly popular with dogs that have been subject to Pavlovian conditioning.
		However, it seems that Countdown's days are numbered, and that the show will be subject to a make-over, transforming it into a beautiful new show covering gardening, house decorating, cooking, and trading toot.

	Game show - FreeEncyclopedia
		A game show is a television program involving members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes.
		In a reality show the competition usually lasts several days or even weeks and a competitor's progress through the game is based on some form of popularity contest, usually a kind of disapproval voting by their fellow competitors or members of the public.
		In the US, television game shows fell out of favor in the 1950s after it was revealed that favored contestants on The 64,000 Dollar Question[?] and other shows had been given answers and coached by the producers.

		Despite its woolly cardigan image, Countdown is no stranger to the risque, the raunchy, even the downright filthy.

		Now, after seeing the snippet of that show, I agree with Gleason --- it was quite possibly the "biggest bomb in the history of television" (at least up to that point, in 1961).

	The Countdown Page: Links
		Countdown's official home on the Web was given a much-needed makeover following Richard Whiteley's death, and as well as some info about the new combination of Des Lynam and Carol, it also includes a potted biography of Richard's life and a small gallery of pictures.
		Ben's letters game solver has been around for a while now, but he is currently working on a numbers game solver to keep it company, as well as letter and number generators to allow you to play Countdown using the site.
		Although this is yet another numbers game player/solver in an already crowded market, this Flash program does have a rather neat interpretation of CECIL and the numbers board, which allows you to pick your own numbers and press a big red button to start the clock.

		Jan 3 2005, 03:04 AM Last night I was playing Time's Up at a friend's place, and we were using the trusty G8 Game Timer to keep time instead of the silly egg timer that comes with that otherwise fantastic game.
		The G8 Game Timer we use is more designed as a chess clock, but it functions just fine for games where we don't want to deal with a crappy sand egg timer (or as a shot clock in Password, where one isn't included).
		I'm pretty sure I wrote some game show software for it in BASIC (though I may have used some Assembly language for graphics speed).
