We want Countdown back at its original time slot of 4.15pm!
Thousands of people alike, OAPs, students, housewives, teachers and all love and know the Channel 4 teatime phenomenon that is Countdown with Richard Whiteleys puntastic humour and Carol Vordermans ec... continue reading »
"Don't the programme producers realise how many viewers are now excluded? A 'straw poll' undertaken amongst friends did NOT reveal anyone happy with the decision taken. Please, please revert to the original!!!"
"Please go back to 4.15pm"
"I say let Channel 4 have their way for now and they will think they've won. But tune in to Countdown a minute later each day, and before long, you will be watching at the old time again. The war will be won."
"What can I say? I am, like everyone else, gutted about the time change. It wasn't so long ago that I had to purchase a brand new 4:15 cap to replace my 4:30 cap. And I had a wait three weeks while they found one in my size. I didn't know whether to wear t"
"Not all changes are for the better so please let us de-change this new time to the proper, old one."
"Please consider signing my new petition to get Fifteen to One and Countdown moved to ITV-1 - www.petitiononline.com/fiftdown/petition.html because my old petition doesn't exist anymore."
"I support this petition"
"What on earth do Channel 4 think they can gain by this time change. Is this the start of a slippery slope for a show we all love."
"I now record it - but someties miss."
"Why did they move it? How could they move it? When did they move it? Bring back Countdown please!"
"This whole afternoon restructure is a bad move by Channel 4, and I feel that them 'fobbing off' viewers and contestants alike is not on - I'm a contestant to be, and I am outraged by the move. For one thing, it undermines all of Countdown's educational be"
"The tragedy of the time change puts the 11th September attacks into perspective."
"It may seem harmless enough to put Countdown back an hour to 3:15. But if they keep doing it, it would become 2:15, 1:15 and so on until eventually it would be on the previous day. As you can see, it wouldn't be long before you'd need a time machine to se"
"I support this petition"
"received very arrogant reply from separate e-mail I sent to channel 4. It feels like they are not listening to the mass protest and feel they do not have to!!!!"
"I am lucky enought to be home during the day but still prefer the older time as mums and schoolchildren can watch and learn."
"I first thought this was a hoax, but then I realised that the joke is on Channel 4. I'm not laughing, but that's because I have throat cancer."
"I did what needed to be done to achieve my dream (see earlier post by me)."
"I support this petition"
"This isn't about time changes. This is about C4 trying to tell us, the little people, how to live our lives. I won't be preached to, bartered with, named and shamed, or called 'foolish' for what I believe in, and I believe that Countdown goes out at 4.15p"
"I support this petition"
"I think this victory counts for double. I'm 2-1 up at least, if not more."
"I couldn't watch Countdown now even if I wanted to. And I do. Oh, I do. I used to do my washing at 3:15, but when Countdown changed, I accidentally washed the television. It broke and the electric current killed my son."
"By showing Countdown an hour earlier, we all have to go to bed an hour earlier. This means less daylight for all of us, and potentially more road-accidents."
"I can no longer urge the children that I teach to go home and watch the programme to improve their maths and English skills."
