This whole thread is top, top quality. It's not often that the contestants on Countdown would get it (unless you're Wayne Rooney, of course). How's Stelling fitting in to the Whiteley's shoes?
He's better than any of the previous presenters at actually playing the game, a couple of times I have seen him get a longer word than the contesants and Suzie and her guest.
To be completely honest, I don't think Stelling is up to the job. Like Des Lynam he has proved that you can't go from the Football studio to the Countdown spotlight. Only Whiteley and O'Connor had the dodjy jokes, bad dress sense and that slight sense that that twinkle in their eye's wasn't just the showbiz magic, but also a bit of a thing that might have been going on with Carol that makes a great Countdown presenter.
Would love 2 have been on it when CV was there mmmmmmmmmmmmmm mind you it would have been one visit with my spelling and the fact that id have to have said "id take 2 off the top and 3 off the bottm and a BJ please Carrol "

So yes. All day long.
Damn, missed it. Was the Thelma-a-like on today?
Stelling's alright, actually. Maybe a bit too slick, but it's offset by young Rachel still looking a bit nervous, so it evens out nicely.
2 up the top and one from the bottom:
Not many , think I've only ever missed one episode
she looks like a high class expensive brass... FANTASTIC
And you know how one looks ... how?
Silly question, but are you watching Shag?
LoL.
Actually, Shag is Jeff Stelling.
Fit as fuck again today , shame Jo Brand has to spoil the show
I know someone who was been there though
Did she go for mainly on top, with one up the bottom?
