Who are you trying to list as main presenter of the One?
Nobody, I suggested an edit (pre-Covid) to say that it was a mix of Sophie, Jane, Ben and Reeta with Simon being a regular relief. Before COVID it tend to be Sophie/Ben/Reeta on Monday, Jane on Tuesday, Jane/Sophie on Wednesday, Ben/Reeta on a Thursday and almost always Ben on a Friday. But then of course we got consistency and Jane and Simon - something which even my not at all interested in news mother has noticed.
With Fiona, I find it strange as well. She’s consistent with doing the Monday Six but at the end of the day, if she didn’t present then it would be possible to make the Six just George and Sophie and the Ten just Huw and Clive. But I guess I understand why she would want to do it.
For future i would keep Simon/Jane on the One and do Afternoon Live on the same day, and move the Film Review to 1:45pm. Ben/Reeta would share the Five and cover the One where necessary. Ben would also be the main face on the evening NC shift and Reeta would fill in the Six/Ten. The Six would be George/Sophie and the Ten would be Huw/Clive. Weekends would continue as they are.
Agreed, she is great. I still however think that her skills lie in rolling news, the press conference suits her very well. Same with Ben Brown - I remember criticism of him here however I think he is more than competent.
It's still sort of a shame though that not all of the talents at the BBC have proper slots. I have masses of hope that they sort this out once the appropriate shows return, and I have worked out various ways to fit people in post-COVID. At the moment we have seen the most continuity in ages.
Think its fair to say though Sophie will have definitely moved on from the One (despite someone on Wikipedia not letting me edit the fact that she is not the main presenter Monday - Thursday with Kate Silverton on a Friday
) for good and Clive won't really be seen on his evening shift either.
