Must be wierd for him to look behind him while introducing a report standing up and not just see green. Although I suppose in rehearsal Natasha mightn't have been wearing make up.

Glad he is presenting. Natasha has made more mistakes than him. Please can't they see shes not made for a flagship bulletin Rolling Eyes

Wish I was there to see him. I have always liked Nicholas Owen when he presents the news - he is one of the few "old school" remaining on our screens now.

As you have all noted, let's hope this is the first of many.

Oh, could you just imagine it:

"Now on BBC1, the Six o'Clock News, with Nicholas Owen and Moira Stuart".

Is anyone here able to give me a proper reason why Natasha should not front the 6? There seems to be a lot of Natasha bashing here but it all seems a little unfair to me.

Good God I bet he didn't think he'd be reading such drivel when he signed. Who cares whos presenting the news when that Newsround level of journalism is required.

She seems incapable of reading a script without fluffing it, and doesn't exactly read the news with a lot of clarity.

Leave off Natasha. Whatever - she is a good presenter. She would not be there on tghe 6 o'clock news if she was anything else. A lot of this is personal opinion, but Natasha is good at her job, I don't see her 'fluffing' her lines much.

Emily is different. Louise is different. Gosling is different. All have their own styles. Let's face it, if you even KNOW ABOUT this forum you're a geek (like me) - to actually sign up and post comments you must be double geek (like me).!!!!!!!!!

Kapilsky's OK. leave her alone!!! Rolling Eyes

At the beginning of the year I think!


I think he certainly showed us that the current main and relief incumbents of the six (George, Dermot, Ben and Natasha spring to mind) to be rather on the light side. Would have been a more impressive bulletin without Natasha tonight, and if he was paired with Jane Hill or Sian Williams on the six I think we would see an improvement.

No I totally agree; every day Natasha makes silly mistakes and then giggles about it. Hardly appropriate.

David.... Some advice from someone who knows Natasha personally, and has often questioned the morons on here. You're better off ignoring the repetitive anti-Kaplinksy posters here, they usually rear their nonsense heads about once a month, I've put it down to PMT.
