Re: I'm leaving
I haven't been on the forum for a while and wanted to put my opinion forward, for what it's worth, which I realise isn't much. I would like to echo Damian's comments and say that Rob Thomas was one of the nicest contestants I've encountered in the relatively short time I've been on the show. He was ...

Re: Leeds - The Final Countdown?
Thank you to those of you who have expressed their concern for us, the production team. It's very much appreciated. Thank you for the phone message Jason! Kate listened to it this morning.

Re: RIP Michael Wylie
Michael was a wonderful man. Caring, considerate, funny, and of course fantastic at Countdown. He had such a kind heart and would have gladly given you the shirt from his back if you needed it. He generousity knew no bounds. I had the pleasure of working with him for a just a few months where he gui...

Hi Lesley
We always welcome suggestions. As for Hayley Mills, you'll have to run that one by Damian who I suspect might give you a rude answer!

Re: Campaign to get Stephen Fry in DC
"Not very hard though by the sound of it." I take offense to that comment I'm afraid. We try really hard in the office to secure guests for the corner. As Damian said in an earlier post however. they have to actually want to come on the programme. I doubt you could name anyone that we have...

He was invited less than a month ago and the answer was no. I expect he's concentrating on QI. Sorry

Re: Annoying things Carol does
Carol essentially has a mundane role where she has done the same task many thousands of times. She somehow contrives to do it so well that she has made herself a star by doing it.
