Unsurprisingly over the summer months, Gavin Grey becomes quite a regular relief presenter on the late evening/overnight shifts (especially on weekends), but what do people think of him and his style?
Personally, I quite like the authoritative tone (similar to Alastair Yates') and that he sees himself as journalist first and a personality second- such as he only introduces himself by name at the
TOTH and no other time, and the links out of breaks are to the point, normally as simple as "this is BBC News and these are the headlines".
There can be a few shakey moments with some stumbles but that can be expected when he doesn't work primarily for the BBC and so won't be as well rehearsed as Huw Edwards.
I would be interested to hear other views on this because I haven't heard a single constructed opinion on him.
