One Des after another!

Well it looks like Des O' Connor (Mr Perma-tan) will be replacing Des Lynham in Countdown!!
He is 10 years older that Des Mk1......I'd have thought they would have gone for someone younger than 74 for that programme so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Nope, don't agree with this one. They should have gone for someone much younger. I mean, come on Des O'Connor!!!!

Pity they didn't do the 'off-the-wall' choice. RW wasn't exactly a superstar when he started Countdown was he, yet he turned out to be the perfect host. Don't know who though, except I remember someone suggested Jo Brand. That would have been fine, as long as she moderated her (sometimes) potty-mouth.
(Don't know why I'm commenting/complaining; I haven't watched it for years, well, since they moved to whatever stupid-early time it's on now. Now 4.15 start - that was fine. Guilty pleasure watching early TV a couple of times a week!)

I hope he doesn't start singing his oldies on there....... one rendition of "Dick-a-dum-dum" and there will probably be a mass switch off!!

I've got a confession to make......... I have a Des O' Connor CD which I bought many years ago

It isn't too bad actually as there are a lot of good ballads on it!
