Hi, can anybody help me and post the Countdown episode of May 6, 1979 in very good quality?
I would be very grateful.

GAAAAHH !! My digital recording app on my PC didn't trigger and I missed capturing the 3 Countdown episodes from last night ( Week 3 ).

If anyone has digital copies for upload on public or personal drives, I'd be more than happy to share whatever I have in kind.

Cheers

criscles

Also looking for Tuesdays February 1982 Countdown if anyone managed to capture that one!! I would be appreciative of a copy.

Cheers

Regards

Brett

Thanks Luuuc - cheers!! Yes I understand the lack of enthusiasm

Would anyone be able to share the New Years Eve special from 5 weeks ago? I'd really like to get the footage of AC/DC playing from 1976.

This has been brilliant! So many generous people to thank: Andrew, Luuuc, Chad, and Criscles I’ll be in touch with you too! 1979 was a fab year.

Seriously this has been so awesome. About 4 years ago I had a bad hard drive crash. Lost years worth. I was so devastated I didn’t bother to reconstruct my collection - until now.

Incidentally I think I have Some episodes in MP4 format (ie: consistent with the uploads) which I’m happy to share. I’ll have to do a reconciliation and let you know what they are.

Hi. i'm an avid countdown fan, if you could send me download links, that would be great.

regards

Marcus

Hi All, I am new to the forum. I have attached a link for my Countdown Episode list. If anyone needs any episode then please let me know. Thanks to everyone who has posted links to episodes. I have increased my collection as a result. Cheers, kiersey.

Gary,

Just want to say thanks for your impressive contribution of Countdown episodes you put up on DropBox. I noticed you kept updating it with more episodes, which was awesome. The link is now defunct, but what you put on there was just fantastic! Thanks.

Robelinda

Is it you who uploads cricket videos to YouTube. If so, then I wanted to thank you for all those. They made the lock down bearable!

Yes that is me!!

Hi there. Just stumbled across this forum. I have been Rage-ripping Countdown for a few years now. I'll be very surprised if I have anything precious but a list of the MPGs I have is below. Let me know if you want anything I can put it on FileFactory.

One question. It looks like Rage put the same date on '1982-04-11 Duran Duran" and "1982-04-11 Starstruck". This looks like a mistake. When were these episodes broadcast?

Also, I don't have many episodes from 1984 and 1985 which is disappointing. If someone can share some of their favourite episodes from these two years I'd be extremely grateful.

Thank you very much all who answered me. The Geordie was twice in GTK that was showed last year in Australian TV. One include video Black Cat Woman (GTK 1974) and second She's a teaser. Black cat woman I have got but this second video NOT.
If someone recorded both, please share for me. Thanks again and greetings from Poland

Hi Jan,

I've had a look and I think I've found the GTK episodes featuring Georgie that you're looking for.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmE5hleMzCmIqVTpHh_QjOB9Xi19?e=WGEJvW

Have a look in the Requests folder.

Enjoy!

Grant

Wow, I knew that are good people in the world yet. Thank you so much. If you are looking for something, please say, maybe I have it, then I upload it.

Hi everyone. I have resurrected an old Topfield set-top box and I'm back in action grabbing Countdown episodes from rage!

Unfortunately the recorder I used last year let me down with some crazy encryption that I could not hack. Does anyone have the episodes that were aired last summer (2021)?

Also, any opinions on sharing files from OneDrive? Is it a good platform to use? I want archive the episodes I have in the cloud, OneDrive seems convenient but expensive.

Cheers!
Ross

Hi Ross,

I have last year's episodes here:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmE5hleMzCmIqVTpHh_QjOB9Xi19?e=WGEJvW

Look in the folder "HDTVRips - Untouched".

I've used OneDrive for years and it has served me well. Thanks to a free 200GB bonus for being a Telstra customer many years ago I've never had to pay for it. :)

Grant

Hi Grant, my one drive access to the files has stopped working, are you able to send me a new link please,

Hi grant, I had access till this morning, but its expired for some reason , are you able to provide me with an upnto date link to the countdown episode.

Cheers

Thanks bruva😉👊👊💯✌

Does anybody have all the week 2 countdown episodes, as only 2 episodes have been uploaded, if anybody has an alternative link it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers✌💯👊😉

So which episode is supposedly missing then? ❓🙀🖐🤷‍♀️💥🎵👀

It's working again now, dont know why uts stopping and starting, must be a technical issue at my end.
Episode wise, there's 9nly 3x episodes from week 1 2022, and 2 from weekb2?

There were only 2 Countdown episodes aired on Rage this week.

https://www.abc.net.au/rage/playlist/saturday-night-12-february-2022-on-abc-tv/13751054

COUNTDOWN October 16, 1983 (392: Brian Mannix from Uncanny X-Men) (ABC)
COUNTDOWN June 21, 1981 (290: Jon English) (ABC)

Thanks for the clarification, looking fwd to more episodes next week then, cheers Grant. 💯😉👊👊

Hey. For anyone interested (who may not have this).
I made a quick copy of the Countdown VHS released years ago.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r67q4ja10x1lctn/AAD8Bw3O-Otqsnzr-9B_yd3Aa?dl=0

Cover included as a scan.
Enjoy :)

Hi if anyone can provide a decent d/l link for he Beat Box episode which aired last week I would appreciate it. I have it on a HDD recorder but converting that to a digital file is a pain in the ass....

cheers,

kiersey

Uploading Beatbox to my OneDrive now.. Should be there soon..
