Countdown reveals epic line-up change to mark game show’s 40th anniversary
COUNTDOWN looks set to receive a cast shake up as the show celebrates its fortieth anniversary. The long-running Channel 4 game show launched in 1982 and has featured many memorable hosts and personalities over the years including Carol Vorderman, Rachel Riley and Suzie Dent. But now in a shock twist, to celebrate the legendary programme a number of extra special guest hosts look set to step into the role currently occupied by Colin Murray. Amongst the new presenters are Baroness Floella Benjamin, Sir Trevor McDonald, Reverend Richard Coles and Moira Stuart who will all take it in turns to host a week of episodes each.
