Carol Vorderman did Rachel Riley’s job on Countdown before Rachel took over. She was on from it’s first episode. Countdown was the first programme that launched Channel 4 in 1982.

[@DavidZ4-gg3dm]

Yes, CV did that from 1982-2008 & RR has done so since 2009.

Can't wait for the 90's one when a certain character causes absolute chaos

Spencer's bar for correct answers is getting lower and lower. "That's close enough, we also said words."

[@hendryde-lux4287]

"Who the fuck are they?" is the question the residents of the UK have been asking about the Krankies for 40+ years

[@kayhardy2871]

Great reaction 😊 How to tell you guys are American, you spend 5 minutes seriously discussing the relative merits of Sodas lol🤣

[@slytheringingerwitch]

When you get to the one with Mel B, stick with it, she does warm up in the end. She does start off like a sulky child in the beginning but its still worth watching.

[@Notsosweetstevia]

I love this one, the madder she gets, the funnier it is.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

Made even more brilliant by Richard Ayoade constantly winding her up.

I always remember that year for Mickey instigating a certain round of rather lyrical replies ;) … and the banana.

Carol was the OG 'numbers girl' on Countdown before she was replaced by Rachel Riley.

You guys give yourselves a point for the oddest things haha "Well, yeah I said a word, and the answer was a word, that's worth half a point, no?"

[@Coolvibes66]

Guys !! You are killin´ it so far :-) Very impressed that you got the "Maradona" question

[@garethm3242]

I'm with Alan Partridge on the Dr Pepper thing. Tastes like fizzy Benylin. You can get it this side of the pond but most still view it as American chemical laced . . . oddness

[@Sheffield_Steve]

There were better TV shows in the UK in the 80s than some of those mentioned on here. There was the great Spy drama sequel to "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (1979) called "Smiley's People" starring the late, great Alec Guinness! 👍 Both deserve a watch! I think both the TV & Movie versions of Tinker have great endings, but I'd say the TV version has the edge!

[@BR618]

Fun fact: 82% of German business still using fax machines; about a third on a regular or very regular basis ^^

Neighbours was on in the UK because surprisingly, Channel 4 was funding it, only people worth talking about to come out of it are Jason Donovan and Kyle Minogue

[@jacquilewis8203]

80's were fantastic, loved the big hair, shoulder pads and blue eyeliner, wonderful times. ❤

[@TheNosnets]

Spencer says "full fat coke over diet because less chemicals" then immediately says "Mountain Dew above all" which contains chemicals actually banned in the EU. my logic for ordering a diet coke is "this meal is 200 less calories less with a diet coke" which adds up if you drink more than 1 a week (which i don't because it's the actual solution to "chemicals" in my ultra-processed foods.

[@mancuniangamecat8288]

You should do a reaction to Thomas Midgley, The Most Harmful Inventor in History, CFCs and lead in petrol.

[@mpmlopes]

You know, the man we call the current king of England used to love doing a bit of theatre during his uni days. Apparently it's something he would have liked to take further but couldn't because of his role as heir of the crown.

[@Thisandthat8908]

When the wind blows is a haunting movie. Because it was genuinely funny to the very end, while being emotionally absolutely brutal. I don't know any movie that does that mix better. It's also technically a interesting mix of real and animation. You can tell from their reaction, it's not one you ever forget. And David Bowie wrote a song for it.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

Try watching the 1984 "Threads".

[@chrisperyagh]

And watch it right after watching 'The Day After' to show how much better we do things on a much smaller budget. I saw it on its second screening in 1985 and couldn't watch 'Words and Pictures' afterwards.

[@GodlessScummer]

Anytime I've watched Threads I need to watch something lighthearted afterwards as a palette cleanser.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

@@GodlessScummer It is very good at instilling that sense of unease.

Ironically, nowadays Hasselhoff is mostly famous in Germany as the guy who thinks he is famous in Germany.

[@veryvarley6706]

Any explanati9on of the Krankies is inadequate. They were children's entertainers with one acting as a farther and the other acting as his son. The one that was the son was actually a mini woman and they were married. They were good clean fun, but then it came out that they were mad swingers having a whole host of adult times, fights and all sorts.

[@davidjb-750]

Neighbours was huge in the uk in the 80s

[@karlnaylor3800]

Damn it Spencer. I had to pause and go to the shop for a Dr Pepper after your speech.

I think Carol knows what fingering is, I just think she wants to hear Jimmy try and describe it

Dungeons & Dragons came out in the 70's but it was in the 80's it started getting media attention (not all good)

"Was it Nintendo 64?", that made me feel really old! lol (NES was 80's, SNES was early 90's, N64 was late 90's) Nothing greater than a cold Pepsi (full fat) with ice on a hot summer's day! (well, non-alcoholic drink any way)

[@vomgrady]

I can heartily recommend Adam Buxton's podcast and his many works.

[@GodlessScummer]

Carol Voderman was on the TV show Countdown for years. She's probably best known in Britain these days for being a very outspoken critic of our current government.

[@BarryHolden-qg2cy]

Hello boys. Knowing how much you like Guy Martin this is a must see video. " Can Guy Make it in an F1 Pit Crew? The FULL Documentary " This gives you a behind the scenes of F1 and how much normal people don't know about the sport. I hope you will watch it. If you copy amd paste between the "" you will get the right video.

[@SonnyBurnett85]

Totally agree on the Dr Pepper. Can get it everywhere in the UK, but not that popular.

[@chrisperyagh]

You can make your own alcopop version of Dr Pepper by mixing Amaretto with Coke.

On the subject of breakdancing - you should react to Cuba Gooding Jr on The Graham Norton Show doing the Windmill and Nutcracker watched by Snoop Dogg and Elle McPherson.

Jonathan Ross appears so much on these because it was his idea, is made by his production company (Hotsauce TV) and the producer for most of them is his wife Jane.

[@stevekeeves9363]

This was a good one, love the 80s

I have never drank or purchased a bottle or can of mountain dew from any retailer or shop in my Life The only time and place I have ever I have ever purchased And drank One is at KFC. The first time I ever tried it was with the 11 herb's and Spices And it's just been a weird food religion ive kept up with ❤ever since And Neighbours and Home and Away were popular in the UK Simply because they depict nice bright sunny days and Crisp blue water on White sand, which to get to see is an Exciting snd wonderoius fascination to most Brits

[@slytheringingerwitch]

I agree with you, I have watched most of them and rewatched them recently too. I haven't found one that sucks personally. The one with Mel B takes a bit to warm up as she was clearly in a mood, but it was all good in the end.

[@KevPage-Witkicker]

you guys see Dr Pepper as a type of cola? Never saw it that way... seems more of a fruit mix than a cola flavour. Can't imagine having a bourbon & Dr Pepper, for example.

[@davidsmith8475]

You need one of us older fellas in your team to get more of the answers!

[@Coolvibes66]

Mountain Dew is actually banned from being sold in some countries in the EU

[@Lones555]

They changed the recipe in 2020 as it used to contain a banned ingredient "brominated vegetable oil" which is why mountain dew felt like you were drinking oil rather than a water based soda. It still has too much sugar in it to be sold as a soda in the UK so they rebranded it as an "energy drink". It's basically the same recipe as the US one but can't be marketed as a soda for health reasons. Obviously the FDA in America doesn't give a shit about whether a food is fit for human consumption which is why so much high fructose corn syrup is used over there.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

I wouldn't worry about copyright. All of these are uploaded by channel 4 on their channel. Maybe use a proxy so it looks like you're in the UK. But there's lots of people who share these video on their channels without any problems... Early CD tech was really shite and super expensive.. But, as with everything you could have paid $800 for a CD player when they were first released. Or just wait 18 months and by one for less than $100. The only time you should be drinking any kind of fizzy drink/pop/soda is when you are mixing it with alcohol. I thought that it was just common knowledge that ET was the biggest movie. It still is to this day if you ignore Titanic. But in the making of Episode 1 George Lucas is so pissed off and he's complaining that Titanic is a better movie and how no one will beat it. George, maybe if you were not making shite movies you might have had a chance.

[@anthonysmurthwaite6258]

Dr pepper isn't cola

[@Roberto_79]

Good try guys. Those were my teenage years

[@wulfgold]

I'm not sure what the deal with is Vorderman + all the griefing she gets on 8/10 Cats, but on the plus side, as she's gotten older she looks more and more like Isabella Clarke 😮 I've personally thrown away 12x copies of Moby "Play", used to date a girl in music promotion, horrible album, you couldn't even give it away lol The Krankies (irl husband and wife) were Scottish "stars" of kids tv. The wife played a naughty schoolboy in a sitcom-type setup, christ knows if it was any good, probably hilarious in hindsight knowing what they got up to in their personal lives - they were proper old-school swingers ;)

You won't understand just how big Neighbours was in the 80s, it was originally shown at 1pm and repeated at 11am the next morning but they ended up moving it to 5:30pm because so many workers were skipping off to watch it! I was lucky enough to be at school and lived close enough to be let home for lunch, and my dad was a teacher and did the same. We both got hooked on the show. Kylie Minogue owes her entire music career to some nameless exec at the BBC deciding to buy the show as a cheap daytime soap filler.

[@The_Philosopher_King701]

I think the reason the later shows don't seem as good is because there hasn't been a lot of things happening in the last few years that lends itself to humor. They are doing the best they could with the material. But I did dislike the former Spice girl in 2014. I must not be the only one. I see someone posted an edited version with her bits deleted.

Comedy is subjective, Michael McIntyre is the least funny comedian to ever exist in my opinion but he's one of the most popular on TV. Shows that different people find different things funny.
