I can shed light on that one for you.
My mum was once a contestant on Countdown back in the day when it was hosted by Richard Whiteley.
In all the bumph she was sent prior to filming there was a list of dos and don'ts.......don't wear this, don't say that etc.
One of the points was 'When playing the letters game please do not say please and thankyou after every letter. Just once or twice is sufficient.'
