I refer the right honourable gentleman to the comment I made ages ago that's buried pages back...

Who are you calling right honourable?????? LOL. Very Happy

So, your opinion is that it will be Susanna, then? If so, I wonder who will do the weekends? Perhaps someone like Jackie Bird of BBC Scotland should be given a go, or they could bring Sally Magnusson back to Breakfast again. She's credible and humorous at the same time!

My opinion is that Kate will stand-in for Sian with Susanna staying at the weekends. With regards to stand-ins for stand-ins, I'm actually starting to warm to Sonia. Even if she can be a bit shouty at times, she's a good interviewer and has a quite dry sense of humour like Emily Maitlis.

According to her website, Kate Silverton will be presenting Breakfast on Mondays to Thursdays from 16th Feb, so maybe Sian has gone a week earlier than originally planned, afterall it is Sian who is down in the RT for next week.

I quite like Sonia, but for the wrong reasons. It's quite fun to see what she comes out with, as she seems a bit random, unpredictable and slightly shambolic at times.

Just before 7 they played out a VT coming up with the F word in it!


The BBC Website is carrying an apology for the "gaffe" and also makes references to a stunned Susanna Reid who "gasped in amazement at the broadcast".


She then offered an enormous apology. I don't think Charlie Stayt realised what had happened at first. You can hear him say 'Now......' as if he is just going to continue with whats coming up.

Yes, I quite like her for that very reason. You get the idea she's not putting any act on, which is quite refreshing.

Makes you wonder what the people who bothered to complain think they're going to achieve... there was an instant apology and explanation for the error, what more do they want?

Sonia Djeol has been on again this weekend, so a possibilty that it would be Bill and Susannah with Charlie and Sonia at weekends. It will, however, more than likely be Bill and Kate, with Charlie and Susannah at weekends.

... I would like to see Jules Botfield as the replacement for Sian.


I say this every time presenter rotas come up, but I highly doubt Jules will present (was it two years since the last time?), especially not on a regular basis. Out of interest, where is she these days? I've not seen her around for ages.

Watching today it looks like Louise Minchin is going to be Sian's stand in.

No, it's definitely Kate, she starts next Monday.

She left Breakfast quite some time ago - she now co-presents the Breakfast programme on BBC Radio Kent - Clicky here
