Countdown presenter and long-term face of channel 4 Richard Whiteley has died at the age of 61 [news.bbc.co.uk]. He was recovering slowly after being hit by pneumonia in May, but died today.

He had presented Countdown on Channel 4 since 1982, with Carol Vorderman the maths guru. Quite a well known figure who will be missed, I would say. RIP.
