Title: Richard Whiteley Countdown Host Dies Post by: Hammy on June 27, 2005, 07:49:48 AM This was a bit of a shock to me but he's died after heart surgery. Now it may not mean much to most but he was a bit a household name here in the UK, the show had been going since 1982 and up until last month he'd never missed one, i discovered this year there was nothing better to do in an afternoon, than sit back smoke a joint and watch countdown, anyway R.I.P.

Yep certainly made sick days off work more manageable when Countdown was on, Daytime TV generally unless you have Sky/Cable, Countdown was always worth a watch, made infenitely better with the help of a large white coner! RIP Richard, you will be missed. Title: Re: Richard Whiteley Countdown Host Dies Post by: Izzy on June 27, 2005, 10:27:15 AM RIP - i think he was only in his 50's too

Richard Whiteley can't die!? :-\ That really sucks? :( He seemed such a lovable character, with his silly and slightly cheesy humour. I'm really quite saddened by this.

Richard Whitely was a set part of my day. I'm really sad to see him gone. I hope they don't continue the show without him because he is irreplaceable.
