Anne Robinson to quit Countdown.

Colin Murray

Today on Woman’s Hour she recommended that Pru Lieth or Mary Berry take over from her.
She did a very good interview. Very witty and only praise for her ex colleagues.

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.

Colin Murray. I liked him, too. He was clever and often came up with long words or numbers solutions.

Don’t you dare criticise Ken, he’s never unkind to anybody, he’s a legend!

I just watched a few episodes recently and couldn't believe how bad she was .......... her manner is so off hand. Dreadful women!

I tune in at 10 30 for Popmaster! I rarely get the answers though. I don't mind the chat, although Ken Bruce isn't very good at it.

Sorry - I mean Pop Master

Exactly. That’s what ruins Pop Quiz on R2.
I don’t care who you work with Dammit!

I loved 15to1 with William G. FC.
Just the quiz - only half an hour because there was no ‘wittering’ with the contestants after every answer.

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.

Not before time !

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

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

not someone who appears every time you switch on the TV

Agree Bluebelle

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

Perhaps she needs time off for another facelift.

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