Random Poll I'm doing here, do you think Channel 4 are doing the right thing in letting Countdown continue without the late, great Richard Whiteley? I'd say as long as a high-profile celebrity is doing it then I feel it should still be on.

Bring back Ray Cokes to MTV!

It's a bit much to call him great. I never saw the fascination with Countdown anyway, any opportunity to axe it is surely a good thing.

The game itself is timeless, so I would like to see it carry on. Never liked Whiteley's rambling stories anyway

Haha does he talk like that? I honestly don't remember him, although I was in the audience for the Really Wild Show once at Whipsnade Zoo.

I thought Paul Merton or Des Lynam were going to get it.

Isn't he? ISN'T HE??????????????????????/////

I could have been in the audience to the Really Wild Show when they went to Twycross Zoo, but for some reason our class wasn't told about it.
