Countdown has been a staple of British TV on Channel 4 for over four decades and is now hosted by Colin Murray.

How did a boy who was kicked out of school, become the chair of a show all about numbers and letters? Colin has had a rich career across TV and radio, including Radio 1 where Harry was a dedicated listener and we’ll hear how Harry played a part in Colin’s final Radio 1 show.

Alongside comedian and broadcaster Elis James, Colin hosts the excellent podcast Everything To Play For which you can listen to wherever you get your podcasts. 

Harry and Colin love a curry so we spoke to curry expert Lizzy Collingham who gave us some very surprising facts! Lizzie’s book Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors can be found here.
