8 Out of 10 Crime Writers Do Countdown

There will be consonants and vowels, there will be numbers and conundrums.

There will be Steve Cavanagh, Andi Osho, Mark Billingham and Liz Nugent.

There will be a lot of laughs and more than a bit of chaos.Craig Robertson will be in control (?!) of proceedings and an unruly bunch of crime writers.

He will be ably assisted by Luca Veste on numbers and Elly Griffiths in Dictionary Corner.

We are legally obliged to state that this event will bear no resemblance to a certain Channel 4 show with a strikingly similar format and name.
