Nick from the Apprentice is on Countdown! And he's a really fun miserable old git.

Haven't seen Countdown for ages but caught it today and they've got Nick from the Apprentice on. Doesn't take any prisoners does he? I'm sure some of the old 'ens might not be impressed.

I like him. Lovely and curmugeonly, and more intelliegent than any of the other presenters recently

I see Rachel Riley's dress sense hasn't improved though.

Ye gods its awful isnt it? My H loves her backside though

I agree he's on the ball. Loved the way he was scathing about the bloke who couldn't get the easy numbers round,

I was impressed with myself for getting the 9 letter word which the winner got. But in the first round all I could see was "cunts".

I still miss Twice Niightly Whitely and Carol though.

Might have to set it to record for later.... [sad old git emoticon]

I watch the repeat. And grab a pen and pad too.

I dont miss Vorderman, she winds me up.

I woudl LOVE to write on that numbers board though, banging that marker pen as I worked out the answer

Vorders used to wind me up a bit, but not as much as Rachel.

I haven't really watched it for years. I used to watch avidly on maternity leave though.

And yes to wanting to do the numbers board.

Looks like it's just you and me though cyb.

love this show - he's doing well isn't he?

Oh i missed it! I have to watch Nick, I loved him on the apprentice .

I have a small inappropriate crush on Nick. He has such an expressive face.

(me too) Hands off Sue! mmmm

They should get rid of Rachel and replace her with Margaret from the apprentice instead.

Rachel's okay but her hooker wardrobe HAS TO GO
