Tim Wilcox's job is clearly filling in for whoever, what makes (I hope) for a more interesting discussion is when he fills 3 shifts in a 24-hour period! Not healthy for the channel, the viewer and probably Mr Wilcox - other than keeping Mrs Wilcox in the style to which she has become accustomed. Arguably as a freelancer you take the work when you can get it, I'm assuming he's freelance, and if the schedules are still 'work in progress', then maybe his place won't last forever.
My other schedule bugbear is when you get a different person in a timeslot everyday of the week. It's been sort of steady the past couple of weeks, despite the holidays, but there was one occasion recently when Joanna Gosling forgot her co-presenters name and consequently apologised by saying it was her fourth co-host that week!

There has to be a balance on schedule chat. Recording every small detail of who's filling in for who is tedious in the extreme, but new names, where they've been before, and whether they're worth hiring makes for interesting reading.Tim Wilcox's job is clearly filling in for whoever, what makes (I hope) for a more interesting discussion is when he fills 3 shifts in a 24-hour period!
