Enjoy watching Countdown (mainly solving the numbers games) but Nick Hewer simply doesn't work as the host for me
He spent all this week licking Ranulph Fiennes @r$e, so much so it almost became the Ranulph Fiennes show (telling his oh-so-boring 'I went on this expedition, I climbed that peak' stories)
I like Nick Hewer on Countdown, he has a very dry sense of humour. Susie Dent's origins of words can't really be described as patronising, I find it interesting to learn something new.
