Countdown

Alex Scott the female football player is taking over as host instead of Sue Barker. It was announced a couple of months ago.

There are some who are cut out to be game show hosts such as I like Jeremy Clarkson on Who wants to be a Millionaire instead of Chris Tarrant.

Sue Barker’s departure, and the two current captains’ was reported some time ago. Comedians don’t sound a good idea; it needs to be someone sportspeople respect, e.g. a sports commentator or someone like Sue, a former singles champion.

I agree with timetogo2016 that Colin Murray had a good rapport with Susie and Rachel. It's a shame he wasn't offered the permanent position. Maybe he had other commitments? Not sure how Anne Robinson is going to get on- time will tell latest! Couldn't understand why Nick Hewer came back as thought his family felt he was too much at risk in the studio.
Surprised to hear about Sue Barker being replaced on Question of Sport.

I like Colin Murray and think he does a good job. I used to listen to him when he DJ'd on Radio 1 years ago.

I read this morning that Sue Barker is to be replaced on A Question of Sport. I don't know much about sport but on the odd occasion that I have watched I enjoyed her rapport with the contestants. The replacements being considered are all comedians!

Oh no Anne Robinson. Please no! I would like Nick Hewer to stay. Colin Murray is too chatty.
But I really came on to say, Wasn't today a great game? Luke has been absolutely brilliant but it was good to see his opponent scoring well for a change.

I haven`t watched the W/link for years Georgesgran and i don`t think i will again tbh.
As for Countdown,the thought of Anne Robinson hosting it is really off putting.
I enjoyed Colin Murray standing in for Nick Hewer,he was entertaining and comes across as a lovely man,and is banter with Suzy and Rachael is brilliant.
