Is Countdown 30th Birthday Championship coming back?

The Countdown 30th Birthday Championship ended on March 1, 2013, on Channel 4. The series concluded its run after airing its final episode on that date.

The 30th Birthday Championship was a special mini-series of the British television game show Countdown, created to celebrate the show's 30 years on air. It featured a tournament format that brought together 41 former contestants from different eras of Countdown, including many notable players from the first three decades. The competition aimed to showcase standout performers and determine the strongest among them, with preliminary rounds leading into knockout stages. The series also marked a transitional period for the show, as some episodes were recorded in a new studio location.

The show starred Nick Hewer as the host, with Rachel Riley and Susie Dent appearing as regulars. The series did not have a rated score and each episode had a runtime of approximately 50 minutes.
