News Presentation Moment of the Year: The legend - Anna Ford on the ITV Evening News
Can't be bothered with most, but as usual Jane Hill continues to impress. Does anyone think she's been offered anything else bigger than News 24, or are the BBC keeping her there to keep the quality of that channel up? I think she should be considered for a future replacement for Huw as main BBC anchor.
And if I can just lower the tone for a moment - she's also very bloody fit.
Seeing as it's Christmas and that time of year...!
