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.
