I couldn't find a Gadget Show thread, and I thought this is the best place to go, so, who thinks Rachel Riley is better suited to Countdown, I rarley watch Countdown, but from what I have seen she is much better than she is on TGS. I suppose it is her first series, but she isnt suited to it at all IMHO. What does everyone else think?

I think she's never really done presenting before and it's too early to judge after 4 or 5 hours of The Gadget Show she's done so far.


I actually thought she was quite good. Like every new presenter though, Rachel will have to grow into the role. And being only 27 I think she'll strike a chord with some of the younger viewers rather than the older presenters. A good signing by Channel 5 and TGS IMO.

Although I'd imagine you were a fan of Big Brother, if you were watching Big Brother.

Good point, although I feel it's justified censorship on grounds of taste and decency.

Mysteriously , no apology for the sudden ad break.

Did someone go in to auto-pilot and mistake the countdown from the crowd with the countdown to the break? The break started more or less as soon as the crowd had reached one.

Are we sure that it wasn't a precaution? The evictee did not receive a warm welcome at all.
