2021 COUNTDOWN SERIES
From this series onwards, the long-outdated prize of twenty volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary has been axed, but the series winner will still have their name engraved on the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy. Robinson’s first series has seen many celebrities making their debuts as guest in Dictionary Corner. Dent also missed the penultimate week of the series as she had to get a COVID-19 test at the time of filming.ĭue to Channel 4's live coverage of Friday Practice and Qualifying sessions of the 2021 British Grand Prix, no edition of Countdown was shown on 16 July, and as a result of 2020 Summer Paralympics coverage, the episode on 24 August 2021 aired at 3:15pm rather than 2:10pm, the first time since Episode 3959, and 26 August 2021 aired at 3:10pm, the first time since Episode 6446. She was still credited in her non-appearances due to her narrating the show's contact details before the credits. This marked Dent's first absence from the show since 2008. Susie Dent missed ten episodes from 19 July to 30 July due to COVID-19 close-contact isolation celebrity guests, Rachel Parris and Richard Coles respectively, adjudicated words in her place. Riley celebrated her 3,000th edition of the programme on 20 August 2021. Riley returned in 2022, albeit not for the first episode of Series 85. This meant that Imafidon oversaw the series finals, as implied by Riley on 23 July. However, on this particular occasion, Riley was temporarily replaced by Dr Imafidon on-screen on 13 December (for 60 episodes), as announced on Riley's Twitter feed. During her first pregnancy, recordings of Series 82 accelerated and then paused for three and a half months. Rachel Riley announced her second pregnancy on 14 April 2021. This makes Series 84 the first since Series 2 in 1983 to have more than one arithmetician, and the first since Series 58 in 2008 to have more than one lexicographer. The edition broadcast on 10 September, as part of Channel 4's "Black To Front" day, featured an all-black on-screen cast consisting of host Sir Trevor McDonald, lexicographer Lemn Sissay and arithmetician Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon the contestants were returnee Jodine Lawrence and new-comer Samuel Williams, and the game determined who would play in the following episode.
