Weekend Playlist: Countdown

Weekend Playlist: Countdown

Here's the weekend playlist created by Benny with help from guest curator Adrian looking at X/twitter selections (31/10/2024) with Songs that reference the quiz show, Countdown.
This was inspired by the first episode of countdown, which was the first show broadcasted on Channel 4 on November 2, 1982.
