Big oops! Haven't seen one of those for years on broadcast telly.

I generally don't watch the clock with the new countdown

I thought it was interesting, too nerdy perhaps?

Come on Pothole, do you like Countdown or not?

This is why some should always quote the OP.

He's also deleted one in response to me saying "where did I say about looking at anything?" or similar. Grumpy git.

The comments on YouTube are hilarious. If a little disturbing.
