Last week Michael Shrimpton, one of the co creators of Countdown passed away from Cancer. I posted a complaint on Rage's Facebook page yesterday asking them why they are they not having a Countdown Special given Shrimptons death and his contribution to the Australian Music Industry and its disappointing that they arent (they had already posted details of a show with an unrelated guest presenter)
Amazingly, they seem to have accepted some of my pointed and blunt comments Last night they announced the following :
To commemorate the passing of Countdown co-creator Michael Shrimpton, this weekend Rage will be turning back the clock to bring you classic episodes of the show.
Tune in Saturday 24th September from 10:30-11:30am, returning for the night from 12:01am on ABC.
**The previously advertised Lisa Mitchell guest program will now air on the 15th of October**
I dont know exactly what episodes they are playing, but the playlist will be up tomorrow afternoon. So if like me, you hate modern music, its a good opportunity to possibly see some vintage clips.
My wife has also banned me from using her Facebook account again

And if anyone has any episodes of Countdown that they want to trade, I have about 110 of varying qualities (about 20% of the total)
