The Wales Thread

Has anyone noticed on the HTV Wales website they now have a pic of Tara on the front page

Could be because she has shot to fame since her appearance on TV’s naughtiest blunders where she was caught in the act swearing.

I like Tara - she is one of my fave's along with Juliet, Jonathan, Justina and Lucy.

I bet it can be frustrating if they keep getting their lines wrong when they are on air

Only TWO jon and lucy idents today

One before Waterfront and the next before Soccer Sunday!

Wonder if Sian LLoyd will be used a lot more now???

<ponder>

yes swanseassound I agree with you there should be more jon and lucy idents going out.......

I think Wales should have at least 2 or 3 other regional idents to play with too. Perhaps another newsy one [since it is the flagship HTV programme], I think Steve and Juliet having a chuckle at something would do fine.

It's criminal there isn't an Arfon ident really -- when you consider the man's history, and yet there are people that have been in Emmerdale for 5 minutes or something and have their own ident.
Steve Jones/Sarra Elgan wouldn't go amiss, and maybe, ummm, Becky Wicks?

Maybe an ident with a ferret in it too! It's an award winning programme, and surely the ferret is the real star?

Of course open to any more suggestions! And although Sian Lloyd will have my support [and yours too I hope], if she survives the first two phone votes it'll be a miracle..

I think they should have idents of Lucy and Steve and Jonathan and Juliet in addition to the Lucy and Jon one. Also maybe one of Ruth Wignall too! Oh and of course Steve Jones!

Ive just watched HTV News and my god that Stuart Mcteer is crap. Compaired to him I actually LIKE Richard Nosworthy.

Tom Barton did a report and we saw him in-vision for the first time I think? He looks quite nice too.

I didn't see most of HTV News -- I saw the first headline and got bored and went for a wander to see what everyone else was saying. Stuart's always cheerful though, you'll give him that!

And what's this Planet's Funniest Animals crap doing on lovely and glorious HTV?!? What's that? It's not HTV anymore? Oh, right. Well, I think we can see there is precious little regional commitment anymore. 4.40pm Sunday is a *prime* regional slot.. It was a regional programme last week -- where's Birdwatcher gone? Your Century? Coast to Coast repeats? Why isn't Waterfront on today -- the last Sunday before the election? -- Pretty important I'd have thought.
What's that one with a horse in the titles? *Completely* gone out of my head.

Only a few weeks ago, there were 5 regional programmes on HTV on Sunday.

I hope Summer in Gower takes that slot soon, it'll be ideal.
The only picture of Tom Barton I've seen is one of his professional jobs from his site ~
It's big, so I'll put the url ~ http://www.tombarton.co.uk/images/photography/portrait.owen.JPG

I'm still blown away by his qualifications, grades and work experience!

Well according to my TV guide Waterfront and Soccer Sunday were both on today at 12.30pm and 2pm respectively. I posted the local progs for the next two week about a week ago - tut tut for missing it!

I think the reason The Plannet Funniest Animals was shoved on today is cos its a 20 minute slot.

Birdwatcher as I recall is an autumn programme so it should be on around September if there is to be another series. Coast to Coast has just finnished. You are right there used to be 5 regional progs on a Sunday - there was one at 12.30pm then 2-3pm and about 5-6pm as well

I expect once the footie season has ended in a few weeks we will have regional programmes at 2pm instead of Soccer Sunday - maybe Summer On Gower or Your Centuary? Also I assume Waterfront will end soon?

OMG that pic of Tom Barton looks sooo different to how he was on screen

Well Stuart does try toi be funny and cheerful but he comes across as being so fake and false.

Im not keen on any of the male presenters for HTV News apart from Jonathan

I like most of the female presenters - well how could anyone dislike Lucy, Justina and Juliet!

Whatabout TARA? Surely she must be included in that list aswell?

Im not going to mention A'SS'J at all.

Yes I like Tara a lot I mentioned that earlier today in the thread!

OK I like the following presenters in this order

1 Juliet
2 Jonathan
3 Justina
4 Tara
5 Sally
6 Lucy
7 Ruth
8 Catharine
9 Carole
10 Richard

Ive including Richard Nosworthy cos he hasnt been *that* bad recently and he is much better than Andrew Jones but by far the worst presenter is Stuart Mcteer.
