I was giggling when he asked for all consonants, and the end was great.

Very good!

Thnks vry mch :)

I wish someone would do that for real on Countdown. Gave me a chuckle Nigel.

i like it. short and clever, bit like yoda.

Good stuff!

This is so squilliony times better than I expected from the basic Countdown premise. Funny. full stop.

I reiterate that Nigel Kelly is a master of short, sharp, and bloody funny. This sketch is all the proof we need.
