The BBC does work in odd ways though - Jane Hill was once a senior BBC national news presenter, even doing the Six/Ten but now she only does the odd weekend bulletin.


She's criminally underused these days as far as I'm concerned. I'm hoping she covers the One more often when the rotas change later this year, but it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't.


And she is also hosting some awkward entertainment specials, from what I see here in BBC WN. Confused

Sue Thearle has the biggest problem with wardrobe - absolutely shocking at times. She looks like she's been riffling through the wardrobe of Crystal Carrington half the time...very 80's.

Sue Thearle, BBC's pearl, to quote BBC WORLD. I quite like her too, on Twitter she has a fun personality, wish we would see more of her over on World.

It was great to see Sian Lloyd filling in again on Breakfast this morning. Hopefully she'll be a regular relief on a Sunday from now on. She even makes Roger Johnson look good!

Give me Naga over Sian any day. Some of the time, she just looks a bit grumpy and lacks personality. Naga comes over a lot more lively and more capable interview-wise as well. Plus her intonation is annoying - she stresses words excessively.

I wouldn't mind seeing Sian present again, but it is a bit of a bore-fest with her and Roger.

From what I remember, she is usually the go-to presenter during Oscars or some other awards show in the United States...

To be perfectly honest here they shouldn't even have Naga on breakfast not because she's a bad presenter , she's perfectly fine but it's a lack of consistency , even though Naga is on most Sundays anyway. They should have Charlie and Louise on Sundays. Then there would be a bit more consistency. Speaking of presenters why does mike never do Sundays he just does Friday and Saturday or was this just because he done a Thursday?

Thanks.

Jonathan Charles is together with Naga & Sally for the Paper Review...
He looks almost the same the last time I saw him on BBC WN. Very Happy

I suppose Naga is the best option, if you think about it the majority of people who are up early on a Sunday are probably also up early (or even earlier) during the week, when she presents the old The World Today hour, so her face is relatively well known in the mornings. (Not to mention did she do the business at one point too?)

Don't judge me for being hyper-observant.

However, I noticed that Jon Sopel (who anchored today's Global Sopel from two different sets) appears not to wear an earpiece in either of his (two) ears. How does he know what's going on?

Or, is it just a case of him wearing and ultra-small insert which nobody can see.
