Des Lynam has quit Countdown

[GhoulsToo]

if you care

thought he was pants myself

he quit last week

keep up jools

do you like grant mitchell-style cutie who keeps winning?

did he? ha, ha! only heard today, that darn pigeon is always getting lost

Dont know who is going to replace him though

I think Michael Aspel would be good

Not that a young hip girl like me watches Countdown

Or knows who Michael Aspel is for that matter

Apparently Eamonn Holmes is in the running

(I have no idea who Michael Aspel is either WB )

hasn't Eamonn got a new meeja career in the US?

Apparently Mr Deayton's name has also been mentioned.

Has he? I dunno, I don't pay all that much attention to such things.

Angus Deayton, hmmm, he has probably served his time in the telly wilderness I suppose. He was spotted on the beeb recently (can't remember what in) so they have probably forgiven him. Channel 4 probably don't give a monkey's arse about his sordid past anyway.

JT, the date on that piece you linked to is Sept 30

I loved Dezzy - thought no-one could replace Richard Whitely but he did a good job imo
