[GhoulsToo]

[WelshBorisKarloff]

he quit last week


keep up jools

[Lio]

do you like grant mitchell-style cutie who keeps winning?

[GhoulsToo]

did he? ha, ha! only heard today, that darn pigeon is always getting lost

[WelshBorisKarloff]

Dont know who is going to replace him though

I think Michael Aspel would be good

[WelshBorisKarloff]

Not that a young hip girl like me watches Countdown

[WelshBorisKarloff]

Or knows who Michael Aspel is for that matter

[CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou]

Apparently Eamonn Holmes is in the running

[CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou]

(I have no idea who Michael Aspel is either WB )

[GhoulsToo]

hasn't Eamonn got a new meeja career in the US?

Apparently Mr Deayton's name has also been mentioned.

[CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou]

Has he? I dunno, I don't pay all that much attention to such things.

Angus Deayton, hmmm, he has probably served his time in the telly wilderness I suppose. He was spotted on the beeb recently (can't remember what in) so they have probably forgiven him. Channel 4 probably don't give a monkey's arse about his sordid past anyway.

JT, the date on that piece you linked to is Sept 30

I loved Dezzy - thought no-one could replace Richard Whitely but he did a good job imo
