    I've just watched The Final Countdown and a sad moment it was too.

    Lucky man, he got to spend all that time with Carol Vorderman.



    I think they should play the countdown jingle as he disappears through the curtain ..!

    Carol's tribute to him made me cry.
    Your PAL joke made me giggle though Katie, Richard would have loved that one!

    No, not wheel of fortune; that would have been the unbearably smug Nicky Campbell who unfortunately is still with us, but a thing called "Countdown" which involved making words from a set of randomly drawn letters against the clock. Famed for it's lexicographic accidents such as the one Katie posted earlier.

    ... OK Katie's was a fix but I believe this one was a genuine Carol Moment
