Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jonathan Shaw (Labour), on Wednesday, 17 September 2003, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 23 members in total.
COUNTDOWN
That this House regrets Channel Four's decision to relegate the popular quiz programme Countdown from its 4.15pm week day slot to one at 3.15pm; notes that Countdown is 21 years old, had two million viewers prior to the change in time and has seen its viewing figures plummet ot 800,000; further notes that Countdown is watched by the widest age group and assists children in letter and number recognition; believes that Channel Four has made a serious error in changing the programme time; and calls upon the company to return the programme to its traditional 4.15pm slot immediately.
