Fluffy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Channel 4 have announced that Des Lynam is to take over countdown.How weird will it be to see it back on TV without Mr.Whiteley presenting!News Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 hurrah good for des, i reckon he'll be ace - whilst whitely is irreplaceable, lynam is an inspired choice and the housewifes of the UK will be most happy i should imagine.rumour had it that noel edmounds was up the gig!!!

delboy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 my parents like countdown and they're both in their 70's so you do have a poin! havent mangaged to convert them to stayover yet but i'm working on it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I was thinking regular guest Tom O'Connor would have done a pretty good job, but Des is a fine choice. No one will replace Richard Whiteley but it's good to see they haven't pulled the show altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Lucifer Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Des is a good choice but I was hoping Terry Wogan might've done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I dunno if Des seems like the right person to replace Whitley, but let's see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
