I know this thread is a few years old, now, and the title may have been appropriate at the time, but these days it's hugely unsuitable. Under the present charisma free, competence free, humour free presenter, I don't think it's ever been worse. And judging by so many of the posters attracted to the thread it may as well be renamed "Countdown - so much more suitable for aging pervs nowadays"
Surely there are only so many times you can watch a mentally undressed RR? And there are far fewer times that you can sit through another of Ms Dents interminable histories of a word. |

I couldn't disagree more. I love Nick's dry throwaway humour, Susie's explanations are fascinating to anyone who is interested in words, and as for Rachel, well, she could have a programme of her own, just standing there, putting numbers on the board!

Too many people are too easily satisfied, these days. It's part of the reason why television is so poor.
what would you like to see then, mel? |

Surely there are only so many times you can watch a mentally undressed RR? And there are far fewer times that you can sit through another of Ms Dents interminable histories of a word. Disagree on Susie's OOW bit - nine times out of ten it's interesting and worth the time. She deserves her moment to shine. Far worse is some of the DC guests who can't muster up two decent stories/anecdotes in a week and drone on - wake me up for the teaser. The meeja types are easily the worst for this (Julia Somerville, Kate Adie, Alastair Stewart). Nick's interaction with them is no less painful. Remember Sir Ranulph Fiennes? :sleep::sleep::sleep: RR is more demure now so there's a fair bit more mental undressing to do. Don't blame people for getting distracted when the supercontestants are in town, playing them from your sofa is futile unless you happen to practice for hours online and have swallowed a dictionary (or ten). Make sure it's the right one though...the Scrabble one won't help ya. |

What happened to that clever, young lad that was on it a week or two ago? Did he make it to octochamp?

Caught a bit of Countdown for the first time in about 10 years - what's wrong with Susie Dent's eyes?

It's FHM Hot 100 time again.
http://www.fhm.com/girls/100-sexiest-women Multiple voting appears to be correct. Come on folks, let's get Rachel higher up this year! |

Why have they been dressing poor Rachel as the 'Crabbies Cider' advert woman?
She's a young girl, not some 50's WRVS member! |
