BACKGROUND
Countdown is the channel’s longest running show and the first show ever broadcast on Channel 4 when it launched 40 years ago, in November 1982. The original version of Channel 4's Countdown is the French television programme « Des chiffres et des lettres » (literally "numbers and letters"), where the Numbers Round is referred to as « Le compte est bon » ("the total is right"). The show debuted in 1965 as « Le mot le plus long » using letters only, and reached its present format in 1972. This year marks the shows 51st anniversary.

SPIN-OFF
"8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" is hosted by Jimmy Carr, with Rachel Riley and Susie Dent assuming their Countdown roles. The formation of the crossover with "8 Out if 10 Cats" began as a series of specials, the first of which was broadcast on 2 January 2012, when Channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations eleven years ago.

Welcome back,Bjoern
Thanks for the post! Another way for 236: 6x5+3 = 33; 33x7 = 231; 231+5 = 236.
Nice to be back, @Bjoern Gumboldt.
For the first round, I found other solutions within the 30 seconds as well:
6 + 6 + 5 - 4 = 13
13 x 50 = 650
25 x 4 x 6 = 600
600 + 50 = 650
6 x 5 = 30
30 - 4 = 26
26 x 25 = 650
For the second round, notice that 456 = 76 x 6 almost in a second, so there are couple of factoring solutions as well:
9 x 8 = 72
72 + 4 = 76
10 / 5 = 2
2 x 3 x 76 = 456
10 + 9 = 19
19 x 8 x 3 = 456
For the third round, the target is divisible by 9, so there is one alternate solution without using the big number as well:
8 - 1 = 7
7 x 4 x 9 = 252
For the fourth round, I got the same as Arthur within the 30 seconds, and the following as well:
7 x 7 = 49
49 - 3 = 46
46 x 5 = 230
230 + 6 = 236
7 x 5 = 35
35 + 5 = 40
40 x 6 = 240
7 - 3 = 4
240 - 4 = 236
252:
75 - 9 - 3 = 63
63 * 4 = 252
75 + 9 = 84
84 * 3 = 252
9 + 1 = 10
75 * 10 / 3 = 250
8 / 4 = 2
250 + 2 = 252
650: 50/5+4+6+4 = 26
26 * 25 = 650
650:
25 - 6 - 6 = 13
50 * 13 = 650
25 * 6 * 4 = 600
600 + 50 = 650
6 + 6 + 5 - 4 = 13
50 * 13 = 650
456:
10 * 9 * 5 = 450
8 * 3 / 4 = 6
450 + 6 = 456
10 * 9 = 90
8 * 3 = 24
90 + 24 = 114
114 * 4 = 456
10 * 5 = 50
50 + 4 + 3 = 57
57 * 8 = 456
