Sally, yes completely.
Roger, no and NEVER again. I said that the first time, and they obviously haven't read our criticisms of him on here. How about Nicholas Owen, Jon Kay?
They need a couple more male relief presenters, if/when they get rid of Roger from Breakfast.
Did you really expect them to?
I don't think I've ever said anything about him - and I have to say he isn't bad. I certainly prefer him to Jon Kay.
Neither of them are so awful that they should never work on television news ever again.
My comment was, as should be with many posts on the forum, to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Well, I watch Roger every weeknight on NWT so I feel I qualify to give my opinions of him. He's perfectly fine on that programme, the only really personality that you have to show is at the end. Tough act following Gordon, and by no means perfect, but doesn't put me off watching NWT at all.
With the Breakfast audience, firstly it's national, and also requires a certain kind of personality. He tried, by all means, and I know it is testing to have any form of credible chemistry with Fiona, whom he only just met. But I just don't think he worked. Simple, some people just don't. Just a bit wooden and a bit too slow. Who knows, he could be different with Sally on Sunday.
Jon Kay has had more experience presenting the programme, so it's unfair to directly compare the two presenters with their contrasting number of appearances on the show. Also, I have to say that Jon was great last weekend, considering it was his first time in the Salford studio and hasn't been on Breakfast for a little while after reporting on the anniversary of Titanic, which is his normal job.
And to be clear, I was talking specifically and solely about Roger. I'm by no means criticising or discussing any other Breakfast presenter. I think the rest are absolutely great when they present the programme, that's including the relief presenters, who have done very well from the ones we've seen from Salford before.
I'm simply saying I don't think the number of people bashing Roger on here reflects his ability - he really isn't as bad as some on here make out.
This sunday: Roger Johnston and Sally Nugent.
