A good decision. Des is probably as close to a 'Richard Whitely' as you'll get so Countdown should be able to continue virtually 'as is'! :banana:

Oh Kaylee, I am a wally, when your thread said 'Countdown' I was looking for Des in your countdown :rolleyes: - I see you're talking about the programme, I think Des is a good replacement for Richard Whitely (and he's good on the eyes too) :)

[KayleeUK]

I think he will be better than Paul Merton :)

[FizzyPop]

Im cool with Des Lynam :) But deep down no one will ever replace Richard Whitely.

[Lisash]

He's as good as anybody else that's been suggested. My mum will be over the moon she thinks he's great :)

I don't watch Countdown that much but I think Des will do fine. As Mandy says he is easy on the eye, better than Paul Merton or Noel Edmonds.

No Mandy, you've got to be kidding :teeth:

I think he will be a great replacement (though for me, I could not call him attractive LOL)

Find him a bit smarmy personally - but I didn't like Richard Whiteley at all (sorry to speak ill of the dead - just my opinion).

My thought's exactly Karen...........;)

FIL is the big countdown fan, but I'm with Di here Des would not encourage me to rush home to watch.

Suppose as long as the faithful countdown fans are happy, then that is all that matters ;)
