So, it's Des' last Countdown tonight; he might not be remembered as a great Countdown host, but I think he's gone a good job taking over in difficult circmstances.


And he got a bottle of bubbly out of it too!

In mind Des Lynam has the brains but little charisma... whereas Des O'Connor is the other way round! Wink

I'm glad he's gone, his disinterest in the show seemed to be growing by the day.

I wonder if tonight's repeat will use the sofa ident?

Surely un interest in the show? As a presenter of that show he should show dis interest Laughing !

His first show and worth remembering Mr Lynam took a while to settle in, but we have the opposite problem with Mr O'Conner I think.

The first show just felt like format and presenter were unsuited - "Deso" just wants to make a joke whenever possible - but most the time it seems to get in the way!

Indeed, O'Connor is an "entertainment host". I don't know as yet, whether this format really suits him - of course time will tell. He did a good job today nonetheless.
