    RIP Richard.

    4:45 it’s so nice they use to involve the audience behind the scenes. Hope they still do but wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. It seems like the show has changed now because Richard and carol were a one off and they won’t be bettered. Really like Rachel but kinda wish I’d grown up with them two. Was only 3 when Richard died so never got to see him and didn’t see much of carol either 😕

    A truly great man. His puns were dreadful, his ties were cataclysmic but we loved him dearly as a sort of kindly Uncle. God bless xxx

      Saif Hasan agree to both comments, couldn’t have said it better myself. Perhaps more “stars” who want to be on TV should take note

      He died when I was three so I never got to see him but from everything I’ve heard I wish I could’ve watched countdown with him on. And carol Vorderman too

    • @evanslater4551
      @evanslater4551 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don’t get me wrong I like the show as it is now with nick and Rachel but it seems like carol and Richard were a cool partnership

  • @ChrisMac2489

    He looks like Elton John a wee bit with the glasses in the 80s
