Thought it was worth it's own thread as Darren has been at the BBC for quite a while
Darren off to AJI

Wasn't this rumoured earlier this year??

Have to admit won't miss him - I take it that means more apperances for Jane Hill and Matthew whatshisface on the One and weekends?

was always on the cards once he was overlooked for the 1 O'Clock News

i think we should get more apperences from moira as a change but it is unlikly.
why dont the bbc want her to present one of the main bullitins.
she use to ?

Maybe he would like to take that Jane Hill woman with him??? Please!

Yes, My site reported this news in July, but were told by the BBC that the story was incorrect.

Yeah, I have to agree I was very suprise he didn't become the main newreader for the one when Anna Ford left.

I will miss him as I liked him.

Will the beeb appoint a new second newsreader for the one and weekends now????

It was obvious they'd give it Sophie really as they seem to think Natasha Kaplinsky is god's gift to newsreading!




I'd imagine Jane Hill will take on his role - she's pretty much the third choice behind Darren now!

Dissapointed really, competent newsreader leaves BBC, think he would have been a useful addition for ITV or maybe even Sky News.
I think Jane Hill will become more of a deputy for the One or the Six now though

Of course we need one of the most talented newsreaders on British television to leave.

I am not asking for 'one of the most talented newsreaders on British television' to leave. I would however be happy to see Ms Hill depart.

No, no Nelad, on this occasion, I shall have to disagree with you.

Ms Hill is truly excellent.

On the other hand the old bag who presents the Ten on Fridays and Sundays is useless.
