“The atmosphere has changed and that’s huge.”
When Dundonald man Colin Murray started in broadcasting 25 years ago he had a goal in mind: become the host of Countdown.
The show attracted explosive headlines during Anne’s stint as it was reported she didn’t get on with the team, particularly maths whiz Rachel Riley, 37, reports Mirror Online. Colin has plenty of plans to boost the show’s popularity. “We should have a podcast once a month with me, Rachel, Susie and the contestants.He’d also like to move the show’s 2.10pm start back to a teatime slot. Colin says its place to be friendly so viewers feel good while they watch.“Our champion last season, Tom Stevenson, had problems with leaving the house,” Colin says.
He says their friendship has always been solid – “she’s like family” – and now he’s bonding with Rachel.He does worry he’ll annoy the girls with his constant natter.Despite that huge vote of confidence, he claims he doesn’t have the “pizazz” of predecessors like Des Lynam or Jeff Stelling. But the audience don’t care.
