Countdown is the channel’s longest running show and the first show ever broadcast on Channel 4 when it launched 40 years ago, in November 1982. The original version of Channel 4’s Countdown is the French television programme « Des chiffres et des lettres » (literally /”numbers and letters/”), where the Numbers Round is referred to as « Le compte est bon » (/”the total is right/”). The show debuted in 1965 as « Le mot le plus long » using letters only, and reached its present format in 1972. This year marks the shows 51st anniversary.
