Re: Is Colin Murray making Countdown too competitive?
There is speculation that Michael Davies, the current executive producer of Jeopardy in the US, is doing the same thing. He's the producer though and not the host. Mind you, he is also British. However, if Damian has no problem with Colin and his hosting style, that's fine. Whoever ends up taking th...

I really hope I don't know any of the people who have been spreading rumors about David. Yes, in the last in-depth conversation we had, he may have had a few drinks, but he had meant well in that conversation. Unfortunately, we didn't say goodbye because I think he would have been sober and had more...

Re: No More Studio Audience at Countdown Post Covid
Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy in the US will have audiences after the pandemic is over. They want to keep their fanbase. Countdown, however, will not have audiences then. They just want to alienate their daytime fanbase. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Countdown has run its course in dayt...
