I can agree with the above. I religiously watched Countdown during the Nick Hewer times, and when he left [for understandable reasons], I basically stopped watching because it felt too wooden. When Colin returned as temporary host after Anne quit, I started watching again and now its back on the series link record because he's just the perfect host for the programme imo: he gets involved in all aspects that he can, he makes viewers at home feel like they're part of the show and he's clearly been a long term fan of the programme before he became host. All of that adds to a winning formula to be host of the programme imo.
