Here you will find details of transmission dates, contestants, celebrity guests and presenters for EVERY Countdown, plus final scores for every game from Series 2 onwards, with the exception of two losing contestants' scores from the second series. Please note that the celebrity guest information for the first two series is taken from TV listings and could be inaccurate. Abbreviations for guests are given on the Dictionary Dwellers Page. Lexicographers are also noted from the finals of Series 2 onwards, with the exception of the prelim games from Series 7 - abbreviations are on the Lexicographers Page. Hostesses and 'vital statisticians' are also noted for each series, where applicable. My thanks to everyone who has supplied me with any missing information - and if you have any of the missing scores from the first two series, please email me.
