Mr Whitely may have said 'I still can't believe they let me in front of the cameras'.

He may also have said "and why can't people spell my name correctly?...given it's Countdown!"

[mushroom25]

he might also have said "aww he's only playing..."

I put a call in to his agent who confirmed that Richard no longer cares about that stuff, gingejbee.

That's incredible, but I can't help thinking it's symptomatic of an emerging trend amongst the younger generation unfortunately.
