The end of the countdown.

[Nick]

As Damon said elsewhere, Richard Whiteley, host of Countdown, has died. For more information, see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4625119.stm

Agreed, he always looked rather young for his age. And it is a great loss to Brtish broadcasting with his death.

And a loss to Daytime TV, as he was really the noly thing worth watching.

RIP

RIP Richard Whiteley.

I knew he was ill, but not that ill hock: He'll be missed greatly by many people :cry:

I couldn't imagine anyone else presenting it. Only person I could think of is Carol Voderman.
