I am really pleased that Colin Murray is hosting Countdown again. He gets it, just like his hero Richard Whitely. I very much welcomed Anne Robinson becoming the host and her take of interviewing guests, especially the celebrities. However, I felt that she was trying to make the show about her, rather than, as it was for Richard and for Colin, about delighting in and sharing the joy of what you can do with a few letters and numbers. So please Countdown, give Colin a long term contract,
