She has helped these programmes reach large audiences through her relaxed manner, and has allowed viewers greater access to these subjects. Alongside programmes such as Countdown, Points of View, Tomorrow's World, Dream House and Mysteries with Carol Vorderman, Carol also headed the BBC campaign for increased computer literacy Computers Don't Bite. This resulted in over 100,000 requests for further information and became one of the BBC's most successful schemes ever. With an IQ of 154, Carol Vorderman is much more than Countdown's Numbers girl.
