Lyse Doucet is a great choice, well done! She is not used enough across BBC News output in the UK.

Recently she has been reporting from Neve Dekalim with Orla Guerin... yet only Orla was featured on the ONE, SIX and TEN. Lyse was only 'allowed' on BBC News 24 & BBC World! She is a much better correspondent than Orla Guerin and she is anchor too! Lyse is full of life, interesting to listen to and much more genuine than Orla "Boring" Guerin! Orla speaks in a monotone and generally sounds very tired.
