Another echoed this, writing: “#Countdown I really must protest against Anne Robinson – her banter is forced, abrupt and rude and. Grace Dent was squirming in embarrassment this afternoon. Her openings with Rachel are equally as dire. Retire FFS !!”
“#countdown Must say an awful lot of rude words coming to light on the daytime edition of Countdown, way before the watershed, wondering if Anne has anything to do with them? Would not surprise me following her reign on her other show,” a third claimed.
Another penned: “It would really liven up Countdown if Anne Robinson was this rude to the contestants…”
Someone else observed: “She thinks she is still on the Weakest Link… tone of the programme has changed.”
