    Yes, he'd laugh at anything. but it didn't make me laugh. Funnily enough I only like jokes that do.

    So here's to Richard Whiteley and his long time stewardship of that quirky ship of delights: Countdown.

    I suggest we gather pics of him, Carol Voderman and countdown in general. If we get enough I may do a 9/11 style collage of them and create something of a shrine to the late great Mr Whiteley.

    Complete with Benny Hill style music for a whimsical feel?

    Why not, I'm sure he'd approve.

    You can have footage of the clock counting down at high speed, then reverse it with a humourous sound effect!

    *Nods sagely*

    A fine tune to go out with. Not quite "Cars", but damn close.
