Anne Robinson to quit Countdown.

Absolutely anybody would be better. She looks totally different since her last plastic surgery- the emphasis being on the word "plastic".

Just hope whoever takes over is someone who doesn’t Quiz the contestants so much ,

Ah! My dear mum can watch it again soon then ?

Dh and i stopped watching when she took over.
Stephen Fry would be great,but possably too expensive.

When Anne Robinson first got the gig, we had a similar thread.
My choices were quite well received.

Paul O’Grady or Liza Tarbuck
Or even better, both together ?

No offence Timetogo, but I’ve seen enough of Fry to last a lifetime!

Has Countdown ever had the presenter/s it deserves?
I wasn’t a fan of Whiteley and ? Vorderman

Thanks heavens she is going, I don't watch it often, but watched it even less since she took the chair. I dislike her sneering attitude and her stiffness. I did like Nick Hewer, thought he had the correct mix of gravitas and kindness.

She’s awful isn’t she?
She seems universally unliked!
How do these people get where they are?
There are loads of them too ?

I prefer a presenter with a gentler, more affable less look-at-me style. Fern Britton or someone in that vein? If we have a new female presenter how about a male numbers person?

Yes, you’re right Nick was good. I didn’t really watch it when he was on as I was too busy.

Perhaps she needs time off for another facelift.

I quite liked the chap who took over before Ann Robinson was appointed. I can’t remember his name but I am sure someone on here will. I can’t watch her without cringing at her strangulated utterances.

Am I the only person who enjoys Anne R?
I wasn't sure at first but I warmed to her.
Good on yer Anne for working until you are in your later 70s.
Truly inspiring.
Why, when it's a woman, does everyone criticise her looks!!!
I am shocked at the lot of you. Shame on you.

I don't care about her looks. She comes across as up herself and insincere.

I am watching her just now. I don’t think she has settled comfortably into this role. It doesn’t suit her trademark Weakest Link style.

I quite liked Nick as presenter. I loved Richard Whiteley. I thought he and Carol were great together.

I don't think it's right to comment on Anne's looks. I wish her well. I just think her style isn't suited to Countdown.

I would like a male presenter. Can't think who though.

Well seeing as the horrible lambasting Katie price has taken for her looks oh here why not a vain, quite vinegary old lady
Like her or loath her I thought she was terrible in this role she wasn’t nearly so bad on 15 to 1 ( was that the name of it? ) so maybe it’s age that’s made her such a poor presenter
I d like to see someone much younger and not someone who appears every time you switch on the TV
Let’s have a new face

She was on The Weakest Link BB
I used to love 15 to 1 in the 90s with William G Stewart.
A proper quiz.

I'd like to see someone presenting who isn't doing other programmes.

She really seems to dislike the male contestants. DH and I will be pleased to see someone else have a go.

not someone who appears every time you switch on the TV

Agree Bluebelle

Let's have someone new and give them a chance .
So I agree with Blue Belle and Nadateturbe .

None taken FC.
I read today that Richard Osman is in the running, i still won`t be watching if that`s the case.

Not before time !

Personally, I don’t think she ever looked comfortable in her role. I believe Romesh Ranganethan is favourite, but I think he might be too ‘lightweight’. I’ve heard Eamon Holmes (God forbid) but I’d like to see Liza Tarbuck, or the chap - can see his face but can’t remember his name - who sat in before Ann Robinson took over.
