Harsh, very harsh, yet slightly amusing.

Seeing as thought all the shows are pre-recorded, it's going to be freaky watching the new shows knowing that he's already worm food.
It's a tad insensitive, but I don't know what to say usually in moments like this.
*shudder*

Are they still planning to show them?

They probably will show them.
But not yet.

I wonder who they could get to replace him.
Jimmy Carr?

I heard about that last night. What a shocker! I wasn't expecting that - though neither was he I imagine.
Poor chap. The world will be a slightly inferior place for a while without those crazy ties and dire puns of his.
And of course, seeing as the majority of his viewers are probably just a breath or two away from joining him, being so old and all, it's probably got them all thinking about their own mortality and wetting themselves - although to be fair, there's probably nothing new here.
Oh well, another one bites the dust. The end of an era for sure.

Carol Vorderman could be out of job now.
61 is pretty young to go..

Yeah, it's very sad. He's one of those people who's just not meant to die, like John Peel.
Apparently they're going to be using guest presenters for the time being. Doh.
Giles Brandreth would be the best replacement though, if they were to permanently replace him.

Bring in Bernard Manning. That would be an unexpected twist to the Countdown story.

He'd be so rude that they would just not bother cutting out the bit where Carol pulls C-O-C-K out of her hole.
