I watched Countdown today, and I noticed a few things of note:
[*]Russell Kane and Colin Murray did some rather energetic dancing to the Countdown theme tune during the credits
[*]There was the sound of a dog howling at the end of the show (a callback to an earlier video clip)
[*]Most shocking of all... the letter tiles were centred in the slots on the letters board
Because I can't say I'm a daily viewer of Countdown, I had no idea when this change had taken place. So, having looked at some YouTube clips, and then having narrowed the time down, onto All4, it appears the change happened on 22nd August, on the date of Colin Murray's return to the chair from coronavirus.
It does mean the letter tiles, after just a few selections, start to look very untidy in their stacks.
I'm not sure even the Countdown wiki documents this sort of detail, but there you go!
