The launch of Anne Robinson as the new host of Countdown, a mere fortnight before the return of Only Connect (which began its new series on BBC Two this week), makes for an interesting comparison. I wonder why nobody’s made it?
Perhaps they’re being gallant because Anne Robinson looks so much better than I do. Honestly it’s ridiculous. Fine-boned, neatly coiffed, delicate like a bird in her giant host’s chair; the best I can claim is that at least my lockdown weight is more zeitgeisty.
