Colin Murray - A Countdown Conundrum

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.  Harry’s new book How To Be Silly Every Day Of The Year can be ordered here and he’s on tour in 2025, get your tickets at harryhill.co.uk Get in touch: harry@arewethereyetpod.co.uk Website: www.harryhill.co.uk Instagram: @mrharryhill YouTube: @harryhillshow Producer Neil Fearn A 'Keep it Light Media' production All enquiries: HELLO@KEEPITLIGHTMEDIA.COM Learn more about your ad choices.
