Has there been any formal replacement of Kate Sanderson yet? Susanna Reid and Louisa Baldini did it last week... perhaps Emily Maitlis will take over, until she goes back to work full time after maternity leave?

I would imagine they'll use Gillian more.

Why not bring Asad Ahmad back? He was all right, wasn't he?


I get the feeling there's an unspoken rule that the bulletin reader has to be a woman.

Unless I've missed him he's not been on for ages has he?

I think he was on just before Christmas.

And Gillian does seem another likely option since she put in an apperance not so long ago!

No Bill and Sian on Breakfast this morning - instead we had Jon Sopel and Susanna Reid. Wonder why no show from Bill and Sian?

I know Bill was on the Six earlier in the week, but I thought Sian may have been on?

I think Bill has the weekend off as he's down to present the Six all next week because George has returned to Sri Lanka to present a BBC News Special from there on Wednesday.

And I think Sian on Mondays version of the six has now become a permanant fixture, Sophie seems to be down to four days a week now.

Shut up you anti-Sian arse. The Six in general is awful. Period.

Did anyone else notice the poop audio and visual synchronisation on Breakfast this morning pre-7:00?

I now find the 6 absolutely unwatchable, it should not be double headed, I think it makes the progorame to relaxed. George also does not have any chemstry with either Sian or Sophie. Sian is definately better on Breakfast or Solo-headed bulletins (e.g. she is excellent on the 1) George is much better on the 10.

Also, the current set is very poor. The last version of the old cream one was the best.
Therefore I hope when Anna retires, the 6 will go back to 1 presenter, with George sent to be main presenter on the 1 (or second presenter on the 10 with Fiona on the 1).

Great to have Sian and Billy Boy back on Breakfast on Fridays. They are just so excellent together! The winning team in my eyes! Very Happy
