Anne Robinson to leave Countdown

[Bingoman]

It's been reported that Anne Robinson is to leave Countdown after just one year in charge and she has said she has stayed longer that she intended?

How well do you think she has done presenting the show?

And who do you think the next host will be?

Anne Robinson does Countdown now?

 

[Calamity1971]

I stopped watching countdown because of her, the horrible twat. Well that, and Rachel Riley.

 

[Humberto]

Joey Barton

 

[Humberto]

Or Roy hodgson for a safe pair of hands.

Another twat.

 

[Humberto]

Should have ditched it reasonably soon after Whitely went.

 

[Humberto]

In hindsight.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

It was never the same after the Mayor of Wetwang died.

No idea what they were thinking employing her. I watched one episode and she was just what you'd expect from Anne Robinson, which isn't what you want from Countdown.

Unusually, I think the gender balance means a male presenter would be good. Just someone friendly, chatty and nice. Dion Dublin's a good presenter.

The horse presented it?

Nick hewer was okay. So was sterling tbf.

Yeah the former was surprisingly good. Not seen the other.

Nick hewer was okay. So was sterling tbf.

I quite liked Hewer (Sterling was fine). Hewer was sort of a cuddly grandad who seemed half there sometimes, but that was probably the way he'd been all his life.

Decent politics as well.

I am One of the most dyslexic people you could meet, I like countdown
Ann Robinson put me off it for a bit ,it's a shame they chose her but not
sure about who would replace her?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I stopped watching countdown because of her, the horrible twat. Well that, and Rachel Riley.

I caught them both on it the other day and thought they presented it fine.

Riley has been caught up in bullying on twitter with her bestie Tracey Ann oberman. One of which has paid out massively in libel. Robinson is also a bully and her " persona' on the weakest link isn't manufactured. She's also a twat.
I'm sure Riley also has an upcoming case for defamation.

EastEnders star Tracy-Ann Oberman pays damages after accusing Northern Independence Party founder of antisemitism

The star said she "had made a mistake" and would pay "substantial damages" for the allegations.

She picked on a guy yesterday for having 'a girl's haircut'. He explained that he grew it long and then had it cut off to donate to a charity making wigs for kids with cancer. That shut her up and made her look like a dick.

 

[nogojones]

It was never the same after the Mayor of Wetwang died.

And he was a twat as well.

 

[Looby]

Apparently Rachel Riley and Robinson can’t stand each other and it’s been a horrible atmosphere on set since she started. I don’t really like either of them tbh but it does sound like Anne Robinson has been awful. Not sure why I even know this as I don’t watch countdown.

I only watch 8 out of 10 cats coundown, which is great and has no Robinson at all

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Brian Blessed would be perfect

 

[Indeliblelink]

Hasn't Colin Murray been doing it? I was channel hopping and saw him presenting it a while ago, I didn't watch long enough to form an opinion of his suitability although he seems a bit young & trendy for Countdown's OAP viewership.

I'm astonished at the number of folk on here who watch it .

I've not watched it for decades - slightly surprised it's still going really.
