Yeah I saw that; did you notice her perm? Did you see it shouldn't happen to a TV reporter a few weeks ago? She was on there as well during her time with Meridian (same hair!).

what is is with using the top of the hour newsreader to present Breakfast when the regular presenter is off. Sarah Campbell is absolutely dire as an out in the field reporter nevermind reading the Breakfast news so who on earth gave her the chance to present the whole show needs their heads testing and Gillian Joseph is the same. It´s as tho they´ll use anyone who´s already on the payroll than employing someone competent.

Kate Silverton is definitely the woman of the moment and would make a great regular presenter. She´s got great screen prescence and can adlib between items with ease - which is no easy feat.

The pairing of Bill and Kate has worked perfectly on Breakfast this week as did Jon and Kate. I could see either pairing working well in the future especially when Breakfast moves to N24.

Considering Natasha is moving to the Six, Jon Sopel moving to the Politics Show so only working Mon-Thurs and if Huw Edwards moves to Chief Political Correspondent (as has been mentioned on the forum before) then Dermot could move to the 10 and then this is what could happen to Breakfast:

Mon-Thurs: Jon Sopel and Kate Silverton
Fri-Sun: Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams
Relief: Simon McCoy and Susanna Reid

Alternatively if when Anna Ford retires Sian could move to the One and then Susanna Reid would be on Friday to Sunday.
