Who was the first woman to appear on channel 4 on november the 2nd 1982

[Magyar]

Richard Whitely was the first man to appear in Countdown so I presume Carol Vorderman must have been the first woman.

[masterchef]

Carol Vorderman

[Rod Mac]

Accuracy would point to Kathy Hytner being the original co-host of Countdown. Carol V came later

[Rod Mac]

The original hostesses were Kathy Hytner and Beverley Isherwood, who used to select the letters and numbers cards respectively. Either Linda Barrett or Carol Vorderman was wheeled on twice a show (they did alternate programmes) to check the calculations for the numbers game. Carol Vorderman now does all these jobs
