Des keeps mentioning his latest CD - I can't seem to see it anywhere. I'm only in my mid-20s and I have 4 CDs of him and 2 records - it goes to show Des does have some sort of appeal to youngsters today.

Anyone hear the C4 continuity announcer lose her voice at 3:25? How embarrassing!

It didn't sound planned, it seemed rather genuine to me, especially as the announcement ended abruptly. I'm watching on +1 so I've yet to hear the announcer's voice.

I think that was planned to pretend she was 'choked up' (as the Americans say) about it being Carol's last Countdown.

I did think it was something to do with that... then the ident seemed to go on for a while (which I thought was giving her time to possibly recover from her 'frog in the throat'... - she even mentioned it - but I couldn't be sure whether she would if it was put on or not.

Yes, it was nice to see Kathy Hytner. Isn't Giles Brandreth annoying though?! I keep expecting him to go "And now Carol it's your Star Turn...!"

Surprising they dug out the original letter girl to guest - can't say I've seen her on any of the shows tribute programmes in recent years.

I've not seen the bowling ident for ages!! The announcer woman was fine again during countdowns end credits.
