Awww that's really bad news, what a great man :(

Re: Countdown Star Dies
 

Unbeleiveable, the last news I saw was that he was on the mend but would be a long convalescence.

Countdown is a TV institution, but will never be the same without him.

That is such a shame. He was a lovely bloke. He used to get so much stick from people, but he always used to love it.

What a loss... :(

Re: Countdown Star Dies
 

a big shock. you will be missed. a wonderfully humble kind man

Re: Countdown Star Dies
 

To me, he came across as a bit of a bumbling twit, but a very amiable one at that. A lovely man. It'll be very hard for anyone to fill his role in Countdown. Rest in Peace Richard.
