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!

Colin is such an improvement on Ann but boy, can he talk.

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 .
