Very sad.  What will students do now at 3.15?  Strange how he became such a cult figure!  He will be genuinely missed. :-(

Hey Yo!

I think it's a betting that Channel 4 will retire Countdown now. Countdown is nothing without "Mr Countdown" himself. RIP Richard Whitely. :-(

Regards,

Oh dear.

Before long it will be more like "not-so-sightly Whiteley".
