"You're with the BBC broadcasting live from London, the headlines at a quarter past the hour, or quarter to the hour if you're in India or sub continent"

One of Dobbie's, most interesting yet!


Yes, I noted that too. Another of his favourites is "You are with BBC World News, broadcasting live from Television Centre in West London. The latest headlines......."

He is creative!

Adrian Finigan used to do that too, I think more of the presenters should do this IMHO.

And I'm not sure it is a nice graphic. It looks fairly thrown together.

You Finighan fans are incorrigible. I think Alastair Yates should do the voice overs. He is ,after all, Mr BBC WORLD.

Dobs would be my second choice.

I think Dobbie would be best...

Karin Giannone was on the overnights last night and then turned up again just four hours later with David Eades for the double-header!! And in between that, we had three hours of "with me"!

I am sorry, guys, but I find Karin Gianone PAINFUL. Maybe if it were 40 years ago, I would have a different feeling!

Why, oh ,why, did we have to endure J Robertson presenting news on Sunday from 19.00 gmt. He is not a good reader and he does not have the same charisma he seems to produce when he is doing Business. The latter is what he does best.

There are plenty of good presenters so BBC does not need JR to do news. What about Alastair Yates, Tony Campion, Lynette Tye or good, old Julian Marshall?

For gravitas, you cannot get better than A Yates.

I hope BBC WORLD have lined up a good team for presentation over Xmas and New Year. And, hopefully, more news and less Xmas!
