I’ve been enjoying Colin Murray standing in for Nick Hewer on Countdown. However, it would seem that the new permanent host is Anne Robinson. Now I only know her through Weakest Link and her acerbic comments between the rounds. I do hope that was ‘an act’ and she will be more sympathetic to Countdown contestants.
There’s been a thread about new game shows and I think Weakest Link could make a comeback - but without the sarcasm. I used to like 15-1 with William G Stewart but when it came back with Sandi Toksvik (like her) the show was stretched out to an hour as she made comments to the contestants after every answer. I felt it lost something of the drama of the old programme with its quick-fire format.
Does anyone know what an emotional affair is?
How will you stop the strikes?
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
