After Ann Robinson’s cringeworthy attempt as host I can watch it again now Colin Murray has taken over. At least he smiles and seems to be pleasant. I wonder if he will take it permanently?

I just noticed this. Yes Honeysuckle, so much more pleasant. The other presenters look more relaxed too. Such a difference. Ann Robinson was just not suited to this programme.
Many of us complained to Channel 4. Maybe they listened.
Unfortunately I think Colin is only a temporary replacement.
I heard that Les Dennis is taking over.

Colin seems to have a lovely rapport with the studio and contestants. He was particularly good this afternoon with a fellow Irish comedian.

Les Dennis? Hmmm.

I have just "googled" and Les Dennis is also only temporary. He filled in for Nick Hewer during the pandemic.
Perhaps they will ask the viewers to vote!

I can't stand bullies and that's exactly what Anne Robinson is .

I stopped watching Countdown when she presented the programme and now I'm watching it again .
