+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted June 27, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted June 27, 2005 Guy was annoying as hell within the "Countdown" confines. But as a bloke he seemed pretty cool. Saw an interview with him and he's not the wally he seemed on "Countdown". Nice bloke, RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerichohol Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Such a great loss, I was also quite shocked when I heard the news. I remember some good episodes of Countdown, he was a very good host and who can forget his style of shirts and ties, classic :( I hope channel 4 give him a proper tribute, I don't think countdown will ever be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raid517 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Very sad news. I have to admit that I'm totally gobsmacked - even though countdown was never such a great show. I mean it was always just there, around dinner time or so. It was comforting in the same way that a warm bed on a rainy day is comforting. Countdown seemed so much like one of the few certanties of life. On another note I can't help lauging. I don't know why. I guess I remember all of the terrible jokes Richard told and how happy he was and I can't help but laugh. I doubt he would want too many tears anyway. No doubt knowing Richard, he will probably have some awful pun or other printed on his gravestone. GJ PS does anyone know if there is an official book of condolance that we can sign?
