He's more lively than Des. Des was terrible.

Quadrophenia · 07/11/2006 11:30

Oh no I can't stand him

RTKangaMummy · 07/11/2006 11:32

I don't really have a view of him at all

Des O'Connor. Jesus. Poor old Dickie must be spinning in his grave.

NomDePlume · 07/11/2006 11:33

(not that I give a monkeys, I don't blardy watch it anyway)

I heard that a couple of weeks ago, apparently he was being "groomed" to see whether he would fit in or not!. They were keen for Carol Vorderman to do it but she didn't feel right stepping into Richard Whiteley's role.

Agree Des Lynam was crap at it.

FIMBO · 07/11/2006 11:35

I bet Melanie Sykes pops up in dictionary corner before long.

northender · 07/11/2006 11:37

D O'C irritates me but then so did RW yet was gutted when he died.

RTKangaMummy · 07/11/2006 11:42

Carol said this morning that he was funny and laughed alot

tom o'conner would have been better (or is he dead?)

northender · 07/11/2006 12:10

Nope still alive kimi, he makes regular appearances in Dictionary Corner. Blimey, How sad am I that I know all this?

kimi · 07/11/2006 12:14

as long as they never let jerry paxman do it

JanH · 07/11/2006 12:20

OMG, not smarmy Des

Pity Bob Monkhouse is dead, he'd have been brilliant.

JoolsToo · 07/11/2006 12:22

I think Des O'Connor is a good choice.

You'd think Des Lynam was 10 years older than singing Des, he's got the personality of a flea!

anorak · 07/11/2006 12:32

Des O'Connor is just like Richard Whiteley. Corny jokes, lots of giggling, harmlessly pleasant butt of other people's jokes. Ideal for Countdown.

ssd · 07/11/2006 12:32

Des O'Connor, yuck.

NAB3 · 07/11/2006 12:33

Des O is a HUGE improvement on Des L. He asked if it could be moved to London to shoot as he didn't like the travelling, then made out he had quit to stop others having to move down South, IMO.

Carol V is on Loose Women today.

Iklboo · 07/11/2006 12:37

Paxo would be brilliant!

"Four? You only got four? What are you, a moron?"

tortoiseshell · 07/11/2006 12:39

Look here if you want to make up your mind about Des - put your speakers on!

caffeinequeen · 07/11/2006 12:59

Or Roy Walker from Catchphrase!
Or Henry doodah from Going for Gold!

caffeinequeen · 07/11/2006 13:00

Nab3 Carol V Loose Women - talk about tautology!
