Apparently he is standing down to concentrate on his writing, but will be replaced. The new presenter hasn't been named yet - any guesses or suggestions?
I record this show, and watch it every weekday after my evening meal, so hope I will still enjoy it. I would love Claudia to take over but I am sure she will be far too busy to do so. It needs someone with a bit of banter and humour.

I'm with BlueBelle here, never took to Richard Osman, too fond of himself for me to like him. Too many 'celebs' trade on their fame to get books published which are invariably poor quality.

Richard Osman said on "The Rest is Entertainment" this week that Michael Sheen has time on his hands as.he is spending more time at home with his Welsh National Theatre project and will be filming 100 episodes, which will cover 20 weeks. He was a bit vague about whether the name will change to "Michael Sheen's House of Games"

I've never been a fan of Richard Osman nor his books. I'm probably in the minority but I can live with that. 😂

I love this show and am sad RO is quitting!

I cannot think of anyone id really like to replace him.

I don’t have an issue with Jeremy Vine, or Claudia, I wouldn’t want Davina, I quite like her but she’s too shouty and excited and I wouldn’t want to see her too much haha.

Btw, I like RO and like his books, they’re light enough and pretty well written.

I enjoy the program and the relaxed format. I really hope it's not Alexander Armstrong!

Oh I live AA and think he’d be great!

Maybe they won’t have one presenter, but rotate weekly?

Isn’t is fun to share our likes and dislikes. It’s great to see how differently we can all perceive different people, that the majority of us have never met, nor ever will haha

I cannot stand even the names of some presenters/celebs without cringing!

For example, Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson 🤢🤢

I look forward to seeing MS's face on the prizes! Not as distinctive as RO's, but the curly hair might feature. I read that the show will be re-named too.
