Countdown - Channel 4 - first episode of new century - 7th January 2000 

I remember Carol on the DS game, as being on countdown. Hope shes alright.

Especially for an episode that aired 20 years ago

VHS quality is really quite amazing, if kept in the right conditions. (My collection sadly has not been.)

True, its just that millions of people with ridiculous knowledge of year celebrated the new millenium when that 1 at the start of every year changed to 2

They were never recorded. They were due to be recorded but Whiteley died so they got pulled.

Singular of dice.

I was looking for another word for thumbnail.

This isnt in HD you simpleton. TV shows in the year 2000 were filmed in SD, just cause youtube offers you "1080p" it doesnt mean it is.

Whatever the quality is gud didn’t mean on the telly dumbarse.

@@jpbdude4223 Oh sure you didn't.

@@davidjatt3251 no shit, numbnut.

Those lights were introduced in 1991. Nothing 80s about them.

@@BCJ1985 It's my subjective opinion. I said they were 80s LOOKING. Styles don't magically change at the turn of a decade. 1991 is still early 90s so most tastes were still influenced by 80s trends. Something can be made in any era and look like something from any other era. Today in 2022 I can style some 1920s clothes if I want to. So telling me the date they were introduced changes nothing about my opinion.

@@ismayb754 Nah, look at the 1990 episodes, they're a much better example of a set from the 80s.

@@BCJ1985 Sorry if it bothers you but in my opinion this set looks 80s. Getting rid of those lights spreading out from the clock was long overdue by 2000.

@@ismayb754 No it wasn't.
