 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV and Radio | Obituary: Richard Whiteley
Richard Whiteley, who has died aged 61, endeared himself to millions of television viewers as the avuncular host of Countdown, the cult word game show whose fans include the Queen.
Recorded in advance, so cast and crew could watch it at a swanky party in Leeds, the programme was a shambles, one highlight being Whiteley's piece to camera, which was broadcast in negative, showing him with a fl face and white hair.
A polished and incisive political reporter with a good nose for a scoop, Whiteley was the first journalist to interview the then prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, after the Brighton bombing in 1984.

 Phantom of the Opera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The battle between the Phantom and Raoul brings the story to its climax, but not before we are treated to Webber's lush music, including the popular songs "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You" and "Think of Me."
Within these familiar Gothic romance trappings, Webber and Stilgoe manage to send up operatic conventions of the 18th and 19th centuries.
In the sublimely silly Meyerbeer parody "Hannibal," Webber captures every cliche of 19th century opera: the Carthaginian queen in the antique bustle (Kim Stengel is first-rate as diva queen Carlotta Gludicelli), the fatuous tenor-without-a-clue Ubaldo Piangi (a fine Jimmy Smagula), a ballet of dancing slave girls and even a mechanical elephant.
