Re: Countdown
The rotating hosts, you mean?
Anyway, I looked it up and apparently it's going to be Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialek, who will both be hosts for different episodes. Seems weird to not settle on a single host, but what do I know.

Re: Countdown
Les Dennis was very good and if Colin can't do it I'd be more than happy with him. Not seen Jenny myself but all the comments I've seen have been positive.
Makes it even more baffling Anne got the job last year - we all knew what a poor fit she'd be.

Re: Countdown
Well, Colin must be gutted, he's had to miss the 40th anniversary week. Floella Benjamin is in the host's chair for the big 4-0, the always entertaining Reverend Richard Coles is in next week. Guest hosts are in vogue, as Pointless has a conveyor belt of Pointless Friends for Alexander Armstrong, can we have that for The Chase, next?

Re: Countdown
Reports now that Colin is confirmed to be hosting until the end of next year, so as permanent as it gets. Wouldn't be surprised though if we still get some guest hosts if there are filming dates he can't commit to, but that's not the end of the world.
It's also waiting well - the final just before Christmas got 750k. Todays the end of the Nick Hewer era it was getting around just 300k viewers a day.
