"The Countdown Clock"
This collection's title of "The Countdown Clock" is redundant these days, as it's essentially about the set designs as a whole. Anyhow, it started off as a compendium of pages dedicated to the famous timepiece from the Channel 4 game show 'Countdown' in the many set designs the programme has seen since its launch on 2nd November 1982. Although the set has undergone several changes over time, the clock face has preserved its distinct layout while remaining the centrepiece of the studio throughout the show's forty-year history.
