Autographs of Richard Whiteley
John Richard Whiteley OBE DL (28 December 1943 – 26 June 2005) was an English presenter, and journalist, best known for his twenty-three years as host of the game show Countdown. Countdown was the launch programme for Channel 4 at 4:45 pm on 2 November 1982, and Whiteley was the first person to be seen on the channel (not counting a programme montage). Despite his intelligence, Whiteley enjoyed projecting the image of an absent-minded eccentric. His trademarks were his jolly, avuncular manner, fondness for puns, and his bold, sometimes garish wardrobe. More about Richard Whiteley

John Richard Whiteley was born 28 December 1943 in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, the first child of Thomas (1912–1992) and Margaret (née Bentley) Whiteley (1918–2001); he had a younger sister, Helen, who died in March 1998 aged 49 of cancer. Whiteley spent his childhood in Baildon: his family owned a long-established textile mill, Thomas Whiteley and Co of Eccleshill, which went out of business in the 1960s. At 13, he won a scholarship to Giggleswick School, Yorkshire, where his English teacher was Russell Harty. He later became a governor of the school. From 1962, he read English at Christ's College, Cambridge. Read even more about Richard Whiteley at Wikipedia
