Anyone know if this will get repeated on ABC 3 during week?
Missed this one

Wednesday morning ABC1 repeats part of the Saturday night guest programmer/special. This week it runs for just over 2 hours, so will probably repeat 2 of the Countdown episodes.
Thursday night ABC3 (or should I say ABC ME, as it stupidly seems to have been re-branded recently) repeats the 10:30-11:30 Saturday morning segment. Given that this slot this week was filled by half of a Countdown episode (it started earlier than 10:30), and half of the making of Countdown, I guess it will repeat the Countdown episode shown in full.
