BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Bit camp though isn't he?

Really enjoyed James Dagwell on BBC World News today

He's not actually that bad - I like his presentastion style, he has a great voice for serious news (i.e. "I know what I'm talking about, but I am not going to be patronisong or sing-songy")

And so what if he's camp? That isn't a crime in todays world

I watched him overnight. Thought he was excellent. He's engaging and polished.

And my goodness he looks great in a suit.

I noticed! Seems some people can pull them off really well, but others look so stiff, almost like they have been sewn into them *cough* Wilcox *cough*

Here's a cap from just a few weeks ago and crap quality because its from the stream...

Has anybody ever mentioned how much that geezer on News 24 right now moves his heads? I can't help thinking of Johnny Bravo.

You mean Jonathan Charles? I haven't seen him on BBC News much so haven't really ever noticed. I think he appears on World far more frequently.

Does James present during the day on releif or is it just overnights?

I watched News 24 last night and Chris Lowe was on, he sounds like he is getting on.. I mean he just sounded ill, but then again I haven't seen him on the channel in a while.

How many times can Jonathan Charles say "I'm Jonathan Charles", it's almost every half hour! Well I suppose hes not a regular on the news channel...

Whats not being a regular got to do with it?

^ maybe because his head will explode if he hears "I'm Jonathan Charles..." for the past 4 hours (?) of their shifts... just kidding.
