Brilliant. Suzanne has really found her feet in recent years on Midlands Today and definatly processes this "National Material"

This is a picture of Suzanne and Shef which we run a few months ago.

Has anyone seen the letter in this week's Radio Times about the 'delightful' Sian Williams giving way to Natasha Kaplinsky 'massaging her enormous ego in front of the cameras.' Ouch!

In the Sunday Mirror, Ian Hyland calles Natasha 'Lady Kaplinsky' in his tv column.

Seems it's not just us who can't stand her.

Well, after seeing those *lovely* News 24 Tonight titles, why can't they create a brighter version of those for Breakfast, to replace those tired 5 year old titles?

And didn't an insider say that when the new editor took over earlier in the year, they were going to bring back the headline updates, and get rid of the red squares on the set?

Did anyone else think that the N24 Tonight headline bed sounded like a slower, sombre version of the Breakfast headline bed?

Also is it just me or are the Breakfast titles the only ones that still use the 'radio waves' from the cream era of titles? There is no globe, which has become the symbol for BBC News now, but still the old style. I do like the titles all though I've got a feeling they will go when it moves over to N24.

Suzanne Virdee - BBC Midlands Today


She'd be very good at it if is her. Although it might mean her leaving MT. I doubt she could do both at the same time.


I wasn't suggesting her - I don't know who she is - I'm telling you who it's going to be.

Not to replace Moira though ... doing the Thurs & Fri slot

Is there a date for Suzanne's premier. I haven't yet seen her. Although her little slip on Midlands Today was quite amusing.

"That's BBC Midlands Today,
Londo...Sorry, Birmingham.."
