- Many thanks To Jeff Wharton & The Countdown production crew for donating this - Richard Whiteley gets stiched up good and proper in this hilarious unedited version of the Richard Whiteley Gotcha. Richard arrived for what he thought was a recording of a normal episode, how wrong he was - All copyright remains with Yorkshire Television - PLEASE COMMENT!
That was hilarious, thanks so much for posting. I think it also says a lot about Richard Whiteley's professionalism. He was so focussed on getting through the recording that he couldn't see at any stage that it was clearly a wind up.
Simply brilliant....Whiteley was a natural broadcaster, with a great sense of humour, these clips emphasise this. Thank you so much for posting the whole show.........we will never see his likes again.
I caught this when it aired way back when Noels House Party defined my saturday night. Now, after having worked in film, its proper fascinating to see the machinations behind the scenes. Thanks OP!
that has to be one of the best gotchas ever. so good to see the full version. thank you for posting.really made my day. richard whiteley is such a legend.
Makes me laugh everytime I watch this. Indeed, Richard Whitely very professional during the whole show, RIP.
i wish this sort of thing still happpened, and i wish they'd air it as a normal program. thanks for the upload, glad it's on the internet!
Very professional during the whole programme - RIP, Richard.
I not laughed so good in a while!
Thanks for uploading this!!
No, the audience weren't told. Only the production team, the actors playing the contestants, Carol, Susie and Mr. Portakabin TV were in on it. The audience were as much in the dark as Richard, but I think they started to suspect it was an elaborate prank at some point. Of course, Richard was totally oblivious until Noel appeared with the Gotcha trophy.
"There's a bloke round the back with a red book." Oh, classic. I loved that line. =3
9:23 First time I have seen the clock being reset.
Thanks for posting this i had such a laugh watching them the late richard whiteley is sadly missed icouldnt have seen lynam or oconnor take it as such a good sport as richard
Richard didn't realize he was being wound up he probably thought it was a weird episode due to the silly antics of Richard Max, which he thought was amusing at first but by the 6 2 3 he was obviously getting pissed off lol. I always thought that when Amanda started crying and wanted the answer to the conundrum Richard had figured he was probably being set up but looking at this obviously not. When the conundrum appeared though I think he knew, he just didn't know who was doing it and why.
many thanks that was brilliant
I love from 3:12 to 4:12 The male contestant is sulking lol
It's a reference to 'This Is Your Life', an old TV show where they go over the highlights of a celebrity's career, I believe.
Loved watching this, thank you
Thanx for uploading this awesome clip
this has been amazing !
cheers
Great! Very Funny. Nice to see all of it. 5 *'s from me.
great Gotcha love the end bit where Noel Edmonds comes & gets my best mate Richard Whiteley with a Gotcha trophy, my best mate Richard Whiteley just can't help but can't control his laughter over Noel Edmonds stitching him up in hysterics & telling him that he's the only man without diarrhoea because of that letters game & telling him when that other letters game came up with OMETHINGS came up Richard spelt out the word something oh my god BL**DY LOL love you Richard mate R I P
I grew up watching Neol's House Party and I'm gald to sse clips from the show on here
That was awesome :D thanks for uploading
hahahaha fantastic episode
As Noel says, the only ones not in the know were Richard and the studio audience.
Anthony Hobson the studio audience knwe
@@pennyandfishy7241 no, the audience didn’t know at all… I was at Leeds Uni and my friend’s aunt was in the audience and dined out on that story for years… Some of them sussed near the end and started whispering a bit, but she said they weren’t told at all.
@kadindarklord No, because the numbers the contestant says first is put on the left. Once someone siad "Can I have one from the top, one small number, another one from the top, one more small number, and 2 more from the top. The selection is listed as:
100 3 50 1 25 75
Ah cool, thanks :)
very funny
Noel stitched him up good and proper.
He said HOG CAT
Did Carol not want to put the big number on the right side?
Great to see a glimpse of the late Michael Wylie, who was just as big a loss to Countdown as Richard Whiteley.
A great 45 minutes in all, and it is testiment to Richard's great sense of humour and personality. I doubt either Des Lynam or Des O'Connor would have been so relaxed about a set up like this.
The problem with Countdown nowadays is that it is too long. It is crying out for a return to the 2 part 30 minute format. It was only stupidity that lengthened the show anyway.

funny as .. but awks ending .. just hanging around :)
jeff stelling
C'mon, she could have at least taken away the 8
Did the auidence know it was a wind up?
Yes, everyone except Richard did.
pearljam619 that comment was 5 years ago you know
no, the audience didn’t know at all… I was at Leeds Uni and my friend’s aunt was in the audience and dined out on that story for years… Some of them sussed near the end and started whispering a bit, but she said they weren’t told at all when they went in, nor throughout. Makes sense as they want the audience reactions to be as authentic as Richard Whiteley’s.
@@Shelsight thank you.
Roflmao
@djduchesse jeff stelling
V funny! Unbeatable laughter! SOOOOO funny!
I did 291 a different way by doing,
3x100=300
7-6=1
1+8-=9
300-9=291
What about Jeff?
I got 291 but I did it like this...
3 x 100 = 300
minus the 8 leaving 292
7 divided by 7 is 1 and take it away
here's a nice way of 291
8-6=2
7/7=1
2+1=3
100-3=97
97*3=291
Mine is a slight deviation from yours...
3x100=300
7+8=15
15-6=9
300-9=291
Are you OK?
@rscosworthfan Jeff?
I didn't get that
291 is EASY
3×100=300
7/7=1
8+1=9
300-9=291
jeffs ok though
