Maybe this has already been mentioned...

Has anyone seen the new set up on countdown?

They've got some sleazy cretin presenting it and they replaced Carol with some young whan called Rachel. It really doesn't sound right to say "can I have a vowel please Rachel?"

I'm not impressed.

"The young blonde maths genius fought off stiff competition from 1,000 applicants to land the job after Carol Vorderman – who had been on the show for 26 years - quit because of a 90 per cent pay cut. "

Yer woman is pretty shit hot at the maths too.
Hasn't been the same since "Twice-Nightly" died.

Probably just as well to start again with a new crew.

Suzy Dent is still there, the dirty slut.

Rachel Riley, 22, graduated from Oriel College, Oxford with a Masters Degree in Mathematics.
She fought off stiff competition from more than 1,000 applicants to step into the shoes of Countdown legend Carol Vorderman.
For the Countdown auditions, Riley and other applicants had to conduct an interview and were tested on their maths skills.
She was then shortlisted alongside five others for a screen test in Leeds where candidates had to put up several letter selections and tackle various maths games at the numbers board.
Riley said: "This is the best graduate job in the world.
"There's only one cool maths job around and I was lucky enough to get it so I'm absolutely thrilled."

I wonder what swung it for her...!!

Yeah at least Suzy's still there, so it is just about still countdown.

I don't like how this new guy tries to make it more suspense filled, like on Who Wants To Be Millionaire, the lack of suspense is what I want form Countdown.

I don't like the new studio either.

I'll get used to it though.

Okay, that is pretty great.

But still so, could they not just put Whiteley's corpse in a chair, have someone move his mouth and use old sound clips?

 

[Unicron]

They've got some sleazy cretin

Show some respect, that's Jeff fuckin' Stelling you're talking about.

He doesn't belong on Countdown, therefore he's a sleazy cretin.

Although I will say that Sky Sports' transposition of the Soccer Saturday crew into a mock-up of Jeff's gaff for a game of charades over Christmas was spellbindingly awful. The spirits of Partridge and Edmonds are strong within him.

Jeff is the new host of Countdown? Fantastic! I hate my brother for having Sky Sports News stuck on the whole time but Jeff is a great host. Is he leaving SSN now?

 

[CinnamonBoy]

. Is he leaving SSN now?

The chap in the Guardian said he isn't.

There'd be holy war if he left. I'd say he'll be there until he physically can't do the job anymore.

Trufax: Stelling goes to his local 24 hour garage on a Friday evening, sits in his car and reads over his football stats with a coffee, every week.

 

[MDR]

I remember when Rodney marsh mispronounced Legwinsky as Lewinsky, and Jeff was straight in to ask Rodney if he thought that meant Fulham were going down this year.

Jeff Stelling is quick witted, very droll and quite adept at wordplay, so he's a good fit imo... Contemporise, maaan!
