It wasn't too long ago when Alex Trebek was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for "most game show episodes hosted by the same presenter". Yesterday, Guinness had officially awarded Channel 4's
Countdown the record for the "most series broadcast for a TV game show" with a running total of 70. The long-running afternoon game show is now in its 71st series with host Nick Hewer and math genius Rachael Riley and lexicographer Susie Dent at his aid.
Countdown has been a cornerstone program for Channel 4 since the very beginning as it was the first show to air on the network in 1982.
