How sad is it to see Emily Maitlis playing Julian Clary's straight woman on his dire lottery show. This case more than ever proves why newsreaders must stay in the newsroom. She really ought to stop dying her hair that colour as well it looks so fake and ridiclous.

Agreed wholeheartedly. (Same as Natasha appearing on Strictly Come dancing.................., etc, etc..)

You would never find our Moira behaving in such a way!

.......so long ago that no-one remembers it, except you Gavin. Does anyone have a foto of our Moira on The Adventure Game?

(And don't anyone say that it was in a time even before cameras were invented........................)

Quite a few people I know remember it... Though it is a different case, as Moira did this BEFORE she was a news presenter, and didn't combine it with news presenting.

It used to be one of my favourite shows as a kid. Remember the Vortex?
It was then followed by The Great Egg race which was also excellent.

Did anyone think that she was a bit overdressed for appearing on a gameshow?? Pearls and an evening dress - was this to try and make Julian Clary appear more civilized Very Happy

Is that possible with Juilan Clary's outfit this week - white trainers, dark blue jeans, sunshine yellow shirt and tie which blended together, and a burgundy blazer with dark blue stripes with yellow stripes either side of them. Probably the worst clothes I've ever seen - no surprises that Julian was wearing them.

As for Emily, she seems to do an o.k. job, don't really know what she's like on LDN.

Exactly, it just made her look even more ludicrous. I hope the show is pulled soon for the sake of her dignity and career.

Not managed to catch the show, so not seen Emily in this, it seems quite surprising she has gone down this celeb route - anyone know of any caps of her on the show?
