New Host Of Countdown

[pastafreak]

I know some were discussing this recently...
It's Anne Robinson. Had no idea she was in the running.

[gingejbee]

She'll be busy having a new face built, then.

[DTCwordfan]

For Gawd's sake - will she be known as the 'Queen of Mensa', 'Queen of Meanness' or keep her title as the 'Queen of Mean'? They should have kept on the guy who replaced Nick Hewer for a while - he had a light touch to it and a sense of humour.

[pastafreak]

That's who I expected as replacement...he was nicely relaxed.

[DTCwordfan]

I wonder if Her Maj has anything to do with it - apparently a favourite if the 2.15 from Newmarket is not on.

[vulcan42]

Phew, what a relief, I thought it might have been Jeremy Vine now that eggheads is closing.

[elliemay1]

Oh no! I was hoping it would be Colin Murray.

[Bazile]

I thought Colin Murray had already been given the nod

[sunny-dave]

If true, that's a great pity - Colin Murray has been doing an excellent job

The point of the presenter is to keep the game moving and not try to hi-jack the show for their own ego - CM has been good at that - I fear AR may not be.

[chelle7272]

Oh no, I thought it was Colin Murray. Not a fan of Anne and Colin was doing a good job.

[elliemay1]

Colin was excellent, so relaxed and you could see how much he was enjoying it, brought a new life to the programme

[maggiebee]

Oh dear, another show I enjoyed crossed off my list.
Not to worry, will still have 8 out of 10 cats do Countdown with Jimmy Carr.

[grumpy01]

Never been the same since Richard Whiteley died.

[gingejbee]

Having seen a screenshot of her as she appeared on lunchtime TV today, I'm not sure I would have recognised her.
Trouble is - she's 76 and still thinks she's in her forties.

[knowabit]

Nick was back today... I'm all confused?

[Zacs-Master]

At least it’s not Allan Carr.

[gingejbee]

"Nick was back today".....yes. You do know that they record several shows a day, well in advance of broadcast date? And that Ms.Robinson was simply announcing/confirming/advertising that she was the new presenter...with no "start date" actually mentioned.
