Wait, so you're saying Countdown is a real game show and not something made up for The IT Crowd? Is the prize really just an oddly shaped teapot?

[@sweethomesalamander7370]

@@angolin9352 yup. its all real. that is the real set and the real presenters on the show. and the teapot is real too. you can even make tea in it.

[@tialaramex]

Cats Does Countdown is the result of a "mash up night" Channel 4 made to celebrate 30 years of the channel existing, they combined some shows they make just as one shots. "8 of 10 Cats" is a comedy panel show (comedians plus celebrity guests play what is supposedly a game but is mainly an excuse to make jokes) about opinion surveys and "Countdown" is a real game show for nerds, so they put the comedians and celebrities on the game show, ha ha, right? But people loved it so much it's now a multi-season mainstream hit.

"Good morning. That's a nice tnetennba." "Oh, thanks. Did you see that ludicrous display last night?"

He would have been screwed if they pulled out the w in vowel form, like in the words draw, pew, or cwm. This is something to be expected in English when we decided to remerge the letters u and v in doubled form after we separated them from just v to prevent confusion.
