Countdown viewers have been treated to an epic throwback from Anne Robinson's first ever appearance on the show back in the 1987.
The 76-year-old telly star has taken over from Nick Hewer as presenter of the iconic Channel 4 series.
In a teaser clip to mark her Countdown debut this afternoon, Anne poked fun at herself sporting a red 1980s hair 'do which she describes as being "very Bay City Rollers."
"Yes, not my first appearance," she tells viewers. "If you’re trying to work it out, that was 1987 and the clue was my hair do.
"Bay City rollers, very Bay City rollers.”
The clip then cuts to Anne's new co-star Rachel Riley with Anne telling her: "I reckon you were about one year old when that was on?”
“You’ve been practising your maths haven’t you!” Rachel quips back.
In the clip, Anne was seen making a guest appearance on the show alongside original host Richard Whiteley.
Anne was already a familiar face on TV at that point, having appeared on Question Time and BBC morning show Breakfast Time as well as hosting Points of View.
Former Weakest Link star Anne is Countdown’s first female Countdown host in the show's 39-year history.
Her predecessors include Richard, who hosted the show from 1982 until his death in 2005 at the age of 61.
Other famous names to have fronted the show are Des Lynam and Des O’Connor before Nick Hewer took over in 2012.
Anne joins show regulars Rachel Riley and Susie Dent – but it is yet to be seen whether she will be as sharp tongued as her Weakest Link days.
One of the things she does hope to bring to the new series is more female contestants.
“It seemed to me that the majority of contestants were male,” Anne told the Daily Star.
“I did say ‘You have got to persuade women to come on.’ It’s something I begged they [Countdown] did more of.
“We’ve now got many more female contestants.
“I suspect women don’t automatically think they are brilliant at something. Whereas men do – even if they haven’t got the foggiest idea what they are doing."
