I think the traits you are describing suggest Tony is turning into the new Clement Freud – vaguely curmudgeonly, interested in the game as a game, quite capable of the extremely witty comment. I think he could well develop into the guy who will keep the competitive side of the show going.

On a chairman, I think Gyles is most likely to be the next chairman – he is the closest to Nicholas in style, sort of hammy, good sense of comedy timing, and someone who could clearly become a target for leg-pulling, teasing and straight-out insults.

The others I see as possibilities are Julian Clary and Liza Tarbuck. Julian in particular would take the chairman’s role in a different direction, but a fun one. Liza already acts a bit like a straight man and I can see that working too.

Yes I think they may think so too - but I actually disagree with that. There are plenty comedians to pick from as panellists. Chairman on the other hand... That's more difficult I think. And Tony has that particular british elegance, he's obviously funny but also has a keen eye for the rules and the english language.

I really, really believe in him as the chairman. Who else, really?
Anyone else has a good candidate? I'd love to read your reasoning. :)

I would also like to think they will appoint him or someone else very familiar with the show as chairman. Tony could do a very good job though they may think he offers more as a member of the panel.
