Can't the BBC just get rid of the fatty Maxine Mawhinney who seems to take up all the room; that's both on the rota AND the studio space.


Your an idiot and your acting like a kid. She is a lot better than some people on there and one of the most experienced. Rolling Eyes


I'm sorry for offending mummy, but she's just plain useless.

How old is Tim Wilcox? Just wondering whther he's old enough to have a family, because if so, he clearly doesn't see them very often. He's always on! Whether it's a weekend or mid-week or early hours of the morning, and as I understand it, not only on News 24! Why are the BBC so obsessed by him?

It was to remember the actor Charlton Heston who died recently. When someone famous dies, BBC World and News 24 very often repeat their HARDtalk interviews. Luckily, Heston was interviewed early during HARDtalk's run (I seem to recall it launched in 1997) so we got to see some interesting presentation.
