Re: Countdown Star Dies

Will they cancel the show?
I believe that he brought the show from France.
Who else could front it, Carol?

Re: Countdown Star Dies

Unbeleiveable, the last news I saw was that he was on the mend but would be a long convalescence.

Countdown is a TV institution, but will never be the same without him.

Re: Countdown Star Dies

That is such a shame. He was a lovely bloke. He used to get so much stick from people, but he always used to love it.

What a loss...

Re: Countdown Star Dies

To me, he came across as a bit of a bumbling twit, but a very amiable one at that. A lovely man. It'll be very hard for anyone to fill his role in Countdown. Rest in Peace Richard.
