Twice-nightly Whiteley, presenter of Countdown on telly for the past 23 years, he of the awful ties and even more awful puns, died last night. He'd caught pneumonia last month, and had a heart operation three days ago, from which he seemed to be recovering okay. He was only 61.

I don't know if he was as jolly off-screen as he appeared to be on-screen, but I did really like Countdown.
