Straight to the POINT

CAROL VORDERMAN should be offered the Countdown hot seat because she’s intelligent, outspoken and most presentable with a long history with the show.

P. T. SMITH, Walsall, W. Mids. A MAN in the Countdown chair would be perfect. The fantastic Rachel Riley and Susie Dent are the only women needed on the team. JACKIE MACFARLANE,

Pangbourne, Berks. RICHARD LITTLEJOHN would be a great Countdown host and presenter.

C. SIMPSON, Wendover, Bucks. I HOPE the robotic Anne Robinson is replaced by someone lively, such as the comedian Tom Allen.

G. COOKSEY, Ruislip, Middx.
