Thank goodness! I am sure their viewing figures have dropped since she took over.
Any suggestions for her replacement?

If ? Vorderman gets it I may have to set fire to my television

Oh please not Carol V.
She`s like horse s..t used to be,everywhere.
Romesh Ranganathan the comedian has literally just been mentioned,he`s supposed to be a comedian,he`s never made me laugh.

This thread is a perfect example of how difficult it is to get a presenter who would please everyone.
I like Ms Robinson, don’t want Carol Vordermann, nor Romesh, nor Osman, nor Fry. Equally, not Mel or Sue or anyone else who seems to be on everything.
Victoria Coren-Mitchell is great on Only Connect, and would probably be good on Countdown. Since I can’t suggest anyone else who would do a good job, I’ll just have to wait and see.

The Countdown presenter isn't meant to be a comedian so maybe he'd be good at that. smile

Not Victoria Coren Mitchell or Carol Vorderman - can't stand either of them shock
I think Fern Britton would be a good choice smile

I would like to see that nice Welsh weatherman, Owain Wyn Evans present Countdown, or any quiz programme.

Oh yes Owain is lovely. Romesh does The Weakest Link. He's a bit wooden.
There is an interview with Anne Robinson in one of the papers today. It sounds like she wanted everything her own way.

This made me laugh on Twitter ?

Carol Vorderman won’t come back to Countdown as she originally left in a huff about money. I wonder if Ken Bruce would fancy a stint on the telly?
