The Countdown Conundrum

Since I live-blogged a darts match, I’m in no position to chuck rocks, but can I just point out that the Guardian is live-blogging Jeff Stelling’s debut as presenter of Countdown*. New media; new rules I guess. As a friend says “This makes me happy!” And so it should.

*Note to American readers: a long-running tea-time letters and numbers quiz show popular with pensioners, students and the bedridden.
