Didn't watch too much of Jenny Eclair, the bits I thought she did a decent job but was a bit annoying.
Sounds like Colin Murray has been confirmed as the permanent host, as his tenure has now been extended to March

I've been enjoying watching Baroness Floella Benjamin hosting this week as part of the 40th anniversary of Countdown.
A complete contrast to El Robinson

Yes, she's been good this week. Plenty of the human warmth that Anne Robinson lacked.

Going through the guest hosts
Rev Richard Coles - you could tell he wasn't used to presenting shows but did a good enough job and was engaging.
Sir Trevor McDonald - Almost robotic at times when reading the autocue, probably a trait from his news casting days. Again probably not used to presenting quiz shows and could have opened up a bit more after a few more shows.
Moira Stuart - Early days and haven't watched much this week but getting a similar vibe as Floella Benjamin.

I agree with those comments. Richard Coles and Floella Benjamin have definitely been the best of the guest hosts. I enjoyed Dave Gorman and Bobby Seagull as new Dictionary Corner guests as well.

I liked Dave Gorman as well, quite a pleasant surprise actually especially with his quirky puzzles. I didn't see much of Bobby Seagull's segment, as that's usually the time I heat up my lunch , but the parts I did see were interesting and he was involved with the games.
