Ranvir and Natasha down on Friday for the 6.30! Last female pairing was Julie and Katie IIRC in the yellow era.


Just watched it and it was a solid performance from the ladies!

I don't think anyone was expecting it to be a shambles.
Did Pete suggest it was going to be?


I wasn't!

I actually like the female pairing on the evening news prog. It suits the time of day.

STV News had an all female pairing for years and it worked really well.

Considering ITV's love for female orientated programming, it really is a surprise the News isn't hosted by an all female pairing every night. Or at least in the day.

That would be for the male audience surely. I suspect Tom Bradby's appointment was partly with the female audience in mind.

I'd like to hope Bradby's appointment was based on his journalistic ability rather than a commercial decision to target women.

You'd have to be pretty naive to think these things never aren't a factor you couldn't be a great journalist but terrible on TV in terms of delivery. You don't get many truly ugly people on TV do you?

The point is there was no reason not to expect a solid performance thus not worthy of the comment.

I don't know... Jeremy Kyle has pretty much made an ITV career out of it.

Sounds to me like he's saying Pete was "expecting it to be a shambles."

That may be the case in America, where if you watch Fox News, it's full of modelesque presenters, yet that isn't the case over here where merit does count for something.

GMB's Richard Gaisford reporting from Marbella for the main story on ITV Lunchtime News.

Probably covering due to summer, plus the fact that today is a bank holiday IIRC.

What Bank holiday is that? Scottish one which no bank actually shut for? ( the English one in 4 weeks time most scots dont follow either since the school are back etc)
