Could be a reaction to all the ladyclones at UTV. I'd say Barra will get more shots at doing the weather when Jackie McCann goes off on maternity leave. I caught one of his forecasts last weekend and he's not bad.
Come to think of it, the young men of Newsline seem to be getting more bulletins than the females; I've only seen the lovely Michelle Napier on duty, I've seen no sign of Jo Scott, Ciara Riddell or Lindsay Armstrong (so much for the latter's arrival seemingly at the expense of the now-thriving-at-Havoc-House Rose Neill) - are they still about? There was also a guy called Declan Lawn who also read BBC Newsline bulletins when I was last in NI at Christmas, is he also still around?
If you watch Newsline in the morning during Breakfast you will come across Jo Scott and Lindsay Armstrong. During the Easter break Lindsay graduated to an evening summary one night. I've never seen Ciara read a bulletin, or Declan. There is that other guy who is ALWAYS on these days, especially after the 10 O'Clock news, I don't know his name.
The BBC seem to be pushing their young male newsreaders at the moment. Have seen Barra Best a few times doing the news, and the weather, over the past few weeks.
Agreed about Mr Mallett. He looked quite gaunt the last time I saw him doing the news.
