thanks for uploading those files kiersey, i found the file labelled Countdown 82-06-04.mp4 (Marc Hunter host) doesn't seem to be in the 'Archives' section of this site. Is it the correct date & not in there or incorrect episode date?
Looks like it may have come from a recording from many years ago as the way they set out the date on screen is different to later broadcasts.

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!
kiersey, thanx, this is much appreciated. :) awesome, yes I can get you a copy of that. I used to use DVD decrypter for ripping DVDs, but haven't used it yet on my new computer, you never know, it may still work, but thanx for the suggestions. My copy of the 1987 awards is a DVD from Troy from several years ago. I'm happy to do it right away, it's just the issue of trying to locate it, which may take me a week or two. Over the last three or four years I've had problems with my eyes, and have gone off recording countdowns. My countdown collection has fallen into a slight shade of disorganisation. Every January the time taken to record the shows, burn them off, label them, file them, and maintaining the DVD collection was taking up too much of my time, as my day job became more involved. :( Reggie rocket has taken over that task, we live within an hour of each other, and quite often physically visit each other, we often swap CD rips, as CDs are now more my thing.[/quote]Hi Mark,
How did you go finding the copy of the C/D Awards 1987 show ?
cheers,
kiersey

I'm about to start uploading my collection of Countdowns to Filefactory again, so anyone who can put up with the slow speeds is welcome to help themselves

Hi Kiersey (and others who may be missing old Countdown episodes). Ill get more episodes (that circulate less) uploaded in the coming days.
Feel free to download with links below - the 3 are 23/03/80, 01/06/80, 15/06/80 - so far. The Sherbet from 30/12/75 is a repeat of the 24/08 show and the original broadcast version is wiped, but the 30/12 has been screened in more recent times (can upload if needed). Ill get more up tomorrow. Note that these recordings go way back to the analogue days of the 1990s and early 2000s but they are direct off air as VHS recordings, transferred direct to DVD then rendered as MPEG's. Enjoy.
If someone can upload the 4 Countdowns from last night and post links that would be appreciated. Cheers!!

No need to upload the Sherbet special for me. I have the repeated version of 30.12.75. I had just noted that some people have the 24.08.75 episode listed in their collection. I thought it may have existed but you have answered that question. Cheers, kiersey.

They're available at the link I posted ~ 6 posts above
(easiest to find if you sort by the "created" column as they're the most recent files added)
Thanks Luuuc - much appreciated. For Kiersey and others here are more of the Rage Reruns requested from the 90s period. 1981 shows this time.

thanks to everyone sharing their episodes, much appreciated to fill in some gaps in my collection.
I did put up a post about which ones i have last summer but i figure most of you probably have them already since no one replied. http://pub24.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2015862427&frmid=135&msgid=976389&cmd=show
I have some recorded onto vhs tape & then dvd recorder that were broadcast around 2000-2009, but obviously they may not be as good quality as digital recordings.
I'll make some time to check any want lists posted but feel free to email me for requests.
Hey guys!
My dvd recorder crapped itself, I've lost the recording for last Sat night Countdowns, a bit upset!!!
Can anyone share them here? PLEASE!!!!
☹️
Rob
Hi Rob. There were no Countdowns for last Saturday. They played Rock Arenas.
I blame COVID lockdowns, i'm going nuts....
Also, how bloody weird is it having Retro month in February, I cant deal with it mentally!!!! So used to hanging for every January saturday night....
Looking for the 2 Countdown episodes from last night, 82 and 86 if someone can kindly upload. Thanks!!
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.

Out of respect to those who have shared with me over the years I'll only be sharing episodes I have recorded myself, which basically are the ones broadcast since 2014.
Files are named by original broadcast date in the format YY-MM-DD[/quote]Just a heads-up that I have also added some Rock Arena episodes to the above collection on FileFactory. There's the 5 shown this year, plus several episodes from previous retro months that I've just ripped.
Spot on Nathan.
Brett I hope you tuned in or set the timer.
They repeated both Countdowns.
Big thanks to everyone who shared files here. I have been pillaging a lot over the last week and loving all the old countdown episodes especially since the ABC let us down by showing so few this year.
I've just discovered this site, Have you got the following Countdown episodes please
20/09/1981 22/02/1981 17/04/1982 any episode with Duran Duran or Adam Ant.
Can they be uploaded to dropbox, as I have trouble with filefactory, if that's ok.
Hopefully someone has those episodes for you :slightly_smiling_face:
Thank You Valentina, I just need 20/09/81 and I've just bought a file factory, so should be able to download this episode.
Jumping back on this thread again to ponder- does anyone have any (and I mean any episode) episodes of Countdown that were never aired on Rage? Just a curiosity.
Have a great rest of your week!

According to a reference list I have that show has never been repeated in the rage digital era. So unless some person from a rich family managed to tape it onto VHS back in 1982 then it probably only exists in the ABC archives.

Ok thanks for replying.
Hi everyone. Does anyone have a copy of the following episode?
