I have just found Will D. on The Crystal Maze as well! ( :D )

Edit: Changing the link as that one no longer worked.

Richard Whiteley is unfortunately no longer with us, so as long as it's Channel 4 that air reruns of Countdown and not Challenge TV, everything should be fine.

That was brilliant - I did wonder throughout the programme what he would do at the conundrum. Would have been even funnier had he frantically found his 9 bits of paper and juggled them around.

Good to see Will making an appearance here, but where are his squares of paper?
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Edit: I've just watched the entire episode and it's quite funny...poor Val.

Nice find Kirk, thanks for that. I had to wait to find somewhere silent, as it was very quiet. Lol @ how Will was still doing his initials thing, referring to host Vince Henderson as "VH" when he was introduced. He also couldn't seem to decide whether to pronounce "H" as "aitch" or "haitch"!

I wonder if he appeared on any other shows other than Countdown, Crystal Maze and Chain Letters, which were all around 1995-96, and what he is doing now.

I swear at 35 seconds in this clip that it's Will that is singing.

From watching the relevant programmes. All the links are here in this thread if you want to watch them too, Jason. That's if they work in America.

Everybody knows who Will D. Downing is? Even in America?

Really?

Well not everybody. But some people in America will have heard of him, as he writes (wrote?) for an American magazine called The Anglo-file (sp?).
