Well done to Floella Benjamin on hosting the show this week. Nice and calm.
Hopefully more TV legends will host for a week or so, no need for a permanent host as demonstrated on HIGNFY, it keeps it fresh.

If you're going to have a different celebrity host every week, do you really need a celebrity guest as well? How many celebrities do you need to contribute virtually nothing to the actual game, which could be perfectly well run by Susie and Rachel on their own? It's just padding.

I disagree. It would mean a lonely 1-person corner which I’m not keen on.David Williams wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 10:55 am If you're going to have a different celebrity host every week, do you really need a celebrity guest as well?

If you wanted, you could merge Rachel and Susie into one role easily enough.David Williams wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 10:55 am If you're going to have a different celebrity host every week, do you really need a celebrity guest as well?

Maybe Rachel needs a buddy as well? And a co-host to sit with whoever is hosting this week? Is there any other show that has twice as many presenters as contestants?Philip A wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 11:56 amI disagree.

But is it this that makes it the cosy teatime show that people know and love?David Williams wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 3:55 pmMaybe Rachel needs a buddy as well?

I wonder how they decide which one of the two celebrities turning up for a day's filming is going to do which job. You might have thought Dan Walker would be the host, marvelling at how clever Richard Coles is, rather than the other way round. Maybe next time they could swap? Chopping and changing every week to make it fresh is not the way to keep the cosiness.
You have to have been around for a long time to think of it as a teatime show.

It is but I don't think it was available anywhere in this game.

I think they wanted veteran broadcasters with highly distinctive accolades – or national treasures if you like – in television as host for the specials, which I think bodes well with the 40th anniversary celebrations. Notice also the 4 guest hosts have titles: Baroness/Dame, Reverend, Sir and CBE. None of this means get rid of the guests. The 4-piece team makes Countdown identifiably different from any other quiz shows shown on any other channel, which is often one host these days. The show would feel lonelier if they reduce the number of team players IMHO. Each show has to be identifiable. Mind, the show started with a letters girl and a numbers girl + arithmetician + host + DC guest + lexicographer!David Williams wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 12:39 am I wonder how they decide which one of the two celebrities turning up for a day's filming is going to do which job.
