eejit 9 Posted June 26, 2005 I am very sorry to hear this news. Shocked that he was only 61. He was a bit of a buffoon, but a good laugh and harmless enough. Will miss you Rich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest_jim Posted June 26, 2005 Obituary: Richard Whiteley Richard Whiteley: Charming, laid-back broadcaster Richard Whiteley, who has died aged 61, endeared himself to millions of television viewers as the avuncular host of Countdown, the cult word game show whose fans include the Queen. A veteran TV journalist, he was once savaged, live and on-air, by a ferret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
