Poor old Richard Whiteley.

There's nothing to bind hip twenty-something students and loopy old lady pensioners together now. He was the glue that kept the most disparate edges of adult society entwined with a common bond. Now he's gone, vanqushed to quiz show Valhalla.

Richard Digance? I don't think so...

From a deleted scene from "About a Boy"

Rachel Wietz (sp?) to Hugh Grant: "Well, you could watch Countdown, or you could have sex with me."
