[grumpy01]

I have just seen that he is to be the new presenter of Mastermind and Celebrity Mastermind.Agood choice I think,I hope he does well.

[tiggerblue10]

Nice one, I like him :o)

[emmie]

good luck to him,

[roopower]

Yes, good choice, I think. I heard it might be Anne Robinson which I couldn't imagine.

[Hopkirk]

Anne Robinson is Countdown.

[Hopkirk]

Yes, good choice Clive Myrie. I had heard Sameer Ahmed was being considered, and she would have been good too.

[Georgiesmum]

Ive never heard of him. Mastermind is my favourite quiz programme. I didnt know John Humphries was leaving.I will be sorry to see him go.

I like Clive, he's a good egg

[grumpy01]

Where have you been GeorgiesMum? he has been reading the news on BBC,usually at weekends,for quite some time.I agree Hopkirk,Sameera Ahmed would have been a good choice too.

[Lie-in King]

I agree, he's a good choice.

[Mamyalynne]

I like Clive and not just because he's a local lad - I think he's an ideal presenter for this.

[andy-hughes]

Apparently JH is off to Classic FM - no problem, I don't listen to it, and if I don't have to shout at the TV when he sits there with that stupid comb-over, that's a plus for my blood pressure as well!!

>>> Apparently JH is off to Classic FM

You're a bit behind the times, Andy.

JH joined Classic FM on 5th January, with his regular Sunday show airing from 3pm to 5pm. Although he's spent most of his career in combative mode, he's actually got a very pleasant, relaxed style when presenting his show.

Thanks Chris - happy to stand corrected.

[gingejbee]

Yes, JH has joined all the other naff, boring, anodyne presenters on Classic FM...the classical music station for people who don't really like classical music.

[DTCwordfan]

well there goes Countdown with that awful Anne Robinson heading the show.....

Mastermind, we will see - just wish they would drop round 1 as anyone can swat up arcane subjects like the 'History of Tiddlywinks, 1876 to 1924'.
