We want Countdown back at its original time slot of 4.15pm!

"Originally posted by Zef "If C4 ignore us, we should ignore them 4.15-5.00" - That's a very convenient boycott you've got yourself there. If you were doing it properly, you'd boycott Channel 4 altogether, or at least boycott it during Countdown. Boycottin"

"I have played a "splashy" version of Countdown in the swimming pool and renamed it "Splashdown". Instead of the 30 second thinking time, you swim a length of the pool before declaring the length of word or numbers game total. Finally you jump in deep wate"

"Of course Countdown has to go. I will tell you why. The many viewers cannot phone in & vote making thousands for programme makers. Channel 4 wants more Big Bore sorry Big Brother because it swells the coffers. This is the ideal excuse - make the progr"

"Countdown is viewed behind that glass screen that we all know so well. The only difference now is the time. It was 4:15 and now it is 3:15. One hour difference per day. That's five hours per week. How much are they shortening our lives by?"

"4,15 please"

"Too early for the tea &cake"

"Don't worry. I will make a superb replacement as the new host of Countdown. You're all invited to my special teatime wordplay treat. And that saucy Vordermann is serving the crumpet!"

"back to 4-15pm or its GOODBYE COUNTDOWN"

"We now have to live with what has happened with the power surge in London. A power surge caused, no doubt, by programmes being on at the wrong time causing confusion for the National Grid."

"3:15 at the moment is a problem. But remember it is October and when the clocks go back an hour, don't change yours and Countdown will be 4:15 again."

"It is now absolutly impossible for me and many others to watch the show every day as I can not get in on time to view it at 3:15pm."

"I have erceted a gravestone in my garden for the 4:15 Countdown which is next the the stone I erected a couple of years ago for 4:30 Countdown. The loss is tragic but I fear that there will not be an offical memorial service. Pray with me tonight."

"I see the move a part of a bigger plan. Statistical research has shown that people with the name "Alan" are less likely to be available for viewing at 3:15 than at 4:15. It is also a widely known fact that Richard Whiteley does not like the name "Alan". I"

"Watch Countdown through a long tube from a different time zone and it will be 4:15."

"What's happened with the time change really puts the bombing in London into the proper perspective with which it is to be viewed."

"Watching Countdown at 3:15 is not the same. The only way I can describe it is by saying it is like swallowing your own thumbs."

"C4 have got blood on their hands, and they're wiping them all over the viewing public. Just get a lookalike in and pretend nothing happened. Yeah, great solution, C4."

"When the second plane slammed into the World Trade Center and the people wept over the flaming corpses that fell to the streets of New York, they thought they had seen the worst of it. Now Channel Four has gone and increased their pain tenfold."

"Time for a pancake. But no! It's time for Countdown. If there's one good thing about the time change, it's that it keeps you on your toes."

"On behalf of students everywhere.."

"Channel 4 did more than change the time schedule. They raped the nation."

"I support this petition"

"Missing lots of Countdowns because of stupid new time!!!"

"If Channel 4 hadn't made the change, Countdown would be on at 4:15. That speaks volumes."
