Sara Blizzard - good name for a weather presenter...

I have chosen my team, but I have some queries:

(i) - Why can I not have an all-ITV, all one region team... bearing in mind I only usually watch Meridian Tonight South, Meridian News South & occasionally Channel News! I make it a habit I never watch BBC News!

(ii) - Who is to say whether the presenter presented or not and how are we going to 'score' points? Will you post to say Fred Dinenage on Meridian Tonight today, thats 5 points or whatever?

Cheers,
John

I thought you weren't allowed more than two from a single geographical region?

Oh right, does that count then? I thought that meant two from a single programme. What if I want one from Central East, one from Central South and one from BBC Midlands, would that count as the same geographical region?

Thinking tactically here, I've gone for presenters only with distinct Alan Partridge tendencies, on the basis that he loves nothing better than being on TV as much as is humanly possible. So hopefully that trait might rub off.

Presenters :
Nick Owen (Midlands Today)
Gordon Burns (North West Tonight)
Peter Levy (Look Hull)

Sportsdesk :
Tim Russon (Central News South)

Weather :
Richard Angwin (Points West)

Sorry Spencer, that's 4 BBC to 1 ITV isn't it?

Damn! I'll have to bring Dinenage in off the reserves bench in that case.
