The wonderful Darshini David (Business News on World and sometimes on N24) and Anita McNaught, although she does not present anymore.
Anyway I think the most skilled BBC presenter is Mike Embley.

Shocked Tsk at photoshop. Besides its wrong, why would Jane be on the Breakfast set. Least get that right, this is a forum full of anoracks who notice such things.

EDIT: Just saw that it's an actual site... where's Max when you need him, I'm sure he'd love the contents for his website.
